Why is Kalle the right speaker for you?
First-hand experience with sustainable transformation
Kalle has personally transitioned from a lifestyle with a footprint far beyond the planetary limits, to living a luxurious and sustainable life that contributes to a better future for coming generations.
How can SMEs work with sustainability—and why should they?
Today, many SMEs view sustainability as essential. However, a significant number of them lack the time, budget, or knowledge to do sustainability work effectively. Kalle explains why sustainability is crucial for smaller companies and how they can approach it in a structured and resource-efficient way.
AI & Technology
AI and technology can revolutionize sustainability efforts for SMEs, preparing them for the new EU regulations that will be implemented in the coming years. Under Kalle Nilvér’s leadership, GoClimate has developed automated calculations based on data from invoices and receipts, which are categorized according to their climate impact in line with the GHG protocol. The tool integrates seamlessly with companies' accounting systems, and through the use of AI, climate data is compiled on a monthly basis.
Climate Financing
By financing climate projects equivalent to the amount of greenhouse gases your company has emitted, you are taking a concrete step toward a more sustainable world and contributing to systemic change. The funds go to projects that effectively reduce carbon emissions and promote the transition of our energy production, which is crucial until society can fully move away from a fossil-fuel-dependent economy. Kalle explains how this works and why it’s an essential step for companies to take!
