I run in my own one person company with focus on CSR and sustainability. The biggest portion of my time is used on coordinating Microsoft’s global environment and sustainability strategy.


Three areas are in particular focus at the moment. Firstly Microsoft has stepped up its efforts to reduce its own environmental footprint. Currently the IT sector is responsible for about two percent of all CO2 emissions globally, about the same as the airline industry.


Secondly Microsofts customers, partners and the public sector in particular are showing increased interest in so called “Smart Cities”. Here we are working with the possibility to make cities more environmentally sustainable by applying smart and efficient IT. One example is a city such as Copenhagen which is aiming at becoming CO2 neutral by 2020 through initiatives such as smart street lightning and traffic controlled by smart It.


The third and final area is what we in Microsoft call “The new world of work” which is about empowering employes to be able to work anywhere, communicate and collaborate at any time using IT, and hereby improving their life quality, helping them be more productive and also helping the environment. In Denmark, Microsoft is organizing a national work from home day together with the Danish government.


For me, the Hub is a fantastic opportunity to live the example of a flexible new world of work, even with a limited membership, to drop by after a meeting in town and meet inspiring people. I appreciate working there and enjoy the sociable and innovative atmosphere.
