Aland, together with its Nordic neighbors, has agreed to work for the region to become the world's most sustainable. It includes working for carbon neutrality and a sustainable circular economy. 

Welcome to an inspirational afternoon as we explore: What can Åland's business community do to make the vision a reality? How is the interaction between companies and politicians?
