OUR INTERNAL DRIVE
We deliver value that is relevant to humans and the planet, today and tomorrow.
During the 2019 pandemic, Next Agents was born from a wish to develop beyond-growth capabilities in the area of sustainability-driven innovation. It started as a collaboration between Fernanda Torre, Justyna Turek, Henryk Stawicki, and Bettina Schwalm.
Next Agents is the host organization for Boards Impact Forum.
Boards Impact Forum is the Nordic Chapter from the Climate Governance Initiative from the World Economic Forum. We focus on the broader sustainability agenda and through our partners in the Nordic Boards Network we reach over 10k board members and directors across all the Nordic countries: Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland.
We are the only Nordic network for board directors, and furthermore the only with the specific focus on Sustainability, Climate Governance and AI.
