“Mehiläinen Group is the largest private social and healthcare provider in the Nordics. Our mission is to improve health and well-being, and we acknowledge how it is strongly connected to the environment. We consider CLC as a great opportunity to work with other companies that have high level of ambition on environmental efforts. We aim to learn from others but are also excited to share our expertise and experiences on issues related to climate and health”, says Janne-Olli Järvenpää, CEO, Mehiläinen Group.
“Biochar and the excess energy produced in the manufacturing will be a significant driver in the decarbonisation and carbon removal pathways to reach net zero. Carbo Culture is proud to be part of the CLC network and as both a project and technology developer can bring added value and opportunities to fellow colleagues. We want to further engage with the people within the community doing their utmost to keep our planet within safer planetary boundaries”, says Henrietta Moon, CEO and Co-founder, Carbo Culture.
These organisations take the number of CLC’s organisational members to 98. “Our growing membership base and network of partners enhance CLC’s potential to support Nordic, EU and global decision-makers in work to mitigate climate change and implementing the European Green Deal. We are looking forward to working together with Mehiläinen Group and Carbo Culture”, says Karl-Henrik Sundström, Chair of CLC Board 2021-2023.
