Celebrating world environment day: the UNGC is our framework for a sustainable business
Today is world environment day and the focus of the day is on green business and creating a sustainable economy. Fantastic!
This is great. For Maxibit the green environment is central to our business strategy – it’s the reason we started selling high quality, resusable displays in the first place. For us it’s a constant process towards creatng a sustainable future and an economy that works for us.
A great worktool for a green economy, and one that Maxibit has been using since 2007, is the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC). Of course, the global compact isn’t just about the environment, but also includes important issues like ethics and human rights.
We can thoroughly recommend all businesses, friends and competitors alike, to get involved and to make a change using the Global Compact as a framework. At the moment Maxibit is the only portable display manufacturer in the compact but we hope this rapidly changes.

About the Author:
Work: I got started by doing my internship here at Maxibit during my studies in sales in March 2004 and in August the same year I was hired. My first assignment was to book meetings with potential clients and Partners in Sweden, a talent of mine as I really love contact by talking to people. Over the years my product knowledge has grown at the speed of a jet plane and I’ve been working both with Swedish customers and international partners. I’ve also been taking care of the website, extranet and partnershop. I’m the person to turn to with problems no one else knows how to solve or don’t want to do.When I was a kid I dreamt of being a pilot.I: Born in 1970 while Nixon was president of the US, so some news headlines about him and CIA and I got my name. I’m born and raised in greatest city in the world, Stockholm. Yet for some reason I spend a lot of the time wishing I were somewhere else. I believe that that can come from my curiosity; I want to learn about new people and places. I’ve always travelled and I’ve also lived in Florida.
