In this webinar you gained insights about
- How Finnish large and medium-size companies compare to global trends in the climate transition
- The emerging risks and opportunities shaping business decision-making
- What these insights mean for companies navigating the transition ahead
As the climate transition accelerates in an increasingly uncertain environment, companies are reassessing how to balance competitiveness, resilience and long-term value creation. At the same time, geopolitical shifts, evolving policy frameworks, and market pressures are reshaping the conditions under which businesses operate and invest.
This webinar introduced a Finland-specific report that draws from the global WBCSD Business Breakthrough Barometer. The report provides a snapshot of how Finnish companies are navigating the climate transition and how their views and experiences compare to global trends.
During the webinar you heard key findings from the Finnish report, followed by a moderated discussion that looks beyond the data to explore the broader insights emerging from the results. Drawing on perspectives from WBCSD’s global business network and an owner’s perspective from A.Ahlstrom, the discussion will examine how companies can navigate growing uncertainty, identify opportunities and prepare for the next phase of the climate transition.
The country-specific findings are complemented by additional insights from interviews with a small number of Finnish companies.
The Finland-specific report builds on the global Business Breakthrough Barometer by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), which was launched on 22 June during London Climate Action Week. Finnish companies have contributed to the global Barometer through a survey distributed by FIBS, and the same dataset forms the basis of this Finland-focused analysis. The report focuses on large and medium-size companies.
FIBS has been a member of WBCSD’s Global Networksince 2012. The Network is a unique alliance of over 60 independent business-led organizations around the world, representing approximately 6,500 businesses committed to sustainable development.
The reports
The country-spesific report including the data from Finnish companies will be published alongside this webinar 25 August. The report will be available for download exclusively to FIBS members.
The global report from WBCSD was launched already on 22 June and is open through WBCSD’s website to everyone interested. It is WBCSD’s flagship report, developed in partnership with the Breakthrough Agenda, the Marrakech Partnership and with the support from Bain & Company and the Climate High-level Champions.
