Nani Pajunen

I am a Leading Specialist in the sustainability programme. In my work, I promote sustainable economic growth and develop responsible solutions, operating models and business in global industrial value chains together with the private and public sectors. At the same time, I ensure that the new sustainable global economic model that we are aiming for is just and equal and functions within the limits of the earth’s carrying capacity.

My education includes a master’s degree in civil engineering, a licentiate in technology in the field of environmental law, a doctorate in technology in material sciences and I am also a qualified teacher. I have more than 25 years of experience in the promotion of sustainable economic growth and sustainable transition as well as in industrial research and development.

What motivates me in my work is difficult challenges, which are not in short supply in the sustainability transition. The change in the global economic model is about changing our economic thinking, developing the industrial value chains, making decisions at different levels, democracy, social responsibility, promoting a fair transition in both industrial and developing countries, raising the competence level, taking advantage of digitisation, AI and data, and about developments in technology. The sustainability transition is about a systemic change that is being made in all sectors of society.

You can and should contact me if you would like to know more about the sustainability transition and would like to start to make it happen with me.
