​Empowering businesses with sustainability at their core

As different companies have different potential to create impact through their business, the core business strategy can be enhanced, pivoted and serve as a tool to create business opportunities, competitive advantage and real scalable impact. Like any other ambitious strategy and commitment, collaboration and implementation are key.

S-HUB’s mission is to be the network and partner for you to empower and enable
​the corporate sustainability potential in your company.

​Background

Sustainable business is becoming the norm. 2018 to 2020 saw over $100 billion flow into specialist ESG funds globally. Nordic investors are increasingly integrating environmental, social and governance into their investments, and indications are that sustainability investments do not come at a cost but may lead to superior returns. Interface, NextEra Energy, Vow, Patagonia and many more prove just that.

Two years into the “The Decade of Action”, it is clear that the business community needs to do more, faster, to reach the SDG goals and prevent a climate and biodiversity disaster. The world is on a clear path towards sustainable development in business and society, but are we going fast enough?

While sustainability efforts are accelerating globally, most Norwegian companies are yet to integrate sustainability as a part of their main corporate strategies. Only 12 percent of the largest companies in Norway have linked their business strategy to the company's impact on the environment and society. 

The decade of action calls for bigger sustainability ambitions among Norwegian companies. Norway is one of the wealthiest countries in the world. We have accumulated much of our wealth by extracting natural resources. This leaves us with both an opportunity and an obligation to become a leading player in the global field of sustainability.
