Green Constitution

Despite the fact that approximately 150 countries – including our neighboring countries Germany, Sweden and Norway – already have green constitutions, this does not include Denmark. Here at Coredesign, we would like to change that. And that is why we have already signed Denmark's Green Constitution.

​

Coredesign has signed - will you and your company?

​

In August 2021, Coredesign was invited to a lecture with Mads Nipper, CEO at Ørsted, by the Tivoli Business Club. Here, among other things, he touched on the Green Constitution - an initiative that both he and Anders Fæste, Danish country manager at Boston Consulting Groups, are behind.

​

It was here that we saw the importance of a Green Constitution. The Danish constitution has been amended five times since it was signed in 1849 – but not once since 1953.

​

Fortunately, the focus on climate and the environment has increased, and the world is facing a real climate crisis. Therefore, it is time to change our Constitution and include green constitutions. It will help make a bigger difference to our climate, as it has been proven that countries with green expectations have a 15% improvement in the environment.

​

For us at Coredesign, we have a strong focus on climate and the environment, and we try to do our part to secure them. We do this, among other things, by offering our customers climate-friendly alternatives if they have not chosen one themselves, as well as drawing up a Code of Conduct for our suppliers, which includes, among other things, that our suppliers must strive to contribute to the recycling of materials and products.

​

As our director, Pia Marie Schougaard says: "We should take deeper responsibility for the environment and the climate, and it will therefore be natural as a resource-rich nation that Denmark naturally supports Green Legislation, a constitution that our other neighboring countries are already part of. That is why we support the Green Constitution to really show a behavior that we mean it, and we make an extra effort in Denmark for the environment and the climate – a constitution that also supports the 17th World Goals.”

That is why we have already signed a Green Constitution. If you want to do the same, contact Grøn Grundlov via their website.
