    BA Talks: Samhällsbyggnad som drivs av den gröna omställningen

    I norra Sverige pågår en grön industriell omställning av historiska mått. I spetsen går företag som Northvolt med sin batterifabrik i Skellefteå, Hybrit med sin pilotanläggning i Luleå och H2 Green Steel med sin anläggning i Boden, LKAB med sin industripark för återvinning och produktion av kritiska råmaterial och SSAB med sina planer på nytt stålverk. Ur ett samhällsbyggnadsperspektiv är det en enorm satsning som omfattar rekrytering av kompetent arbetskraft, bostadsbyggande, samhällsfastigheter, transportinfrastruktur och inte minst - tillgång till elektricitet. Hur kan näringslivet och politiken samarbeta för att maximera de möjligheter som den gröna basindustrin erbjuder? Vilka långsiktiga konsekvenser kan den gröna omvandlingen ha för företagen i norra Sverige och deras position på den globala marknaden? Välkommen till ett samtal om den positiva men komplexa samhällsbyggnadsprocessen i norra Sverige.

  • BA HELSINKI: Sustainable development will change the face of business
    Sustainable development will change the face of business Sustainable development is based on a holistic view that encompasses economic, social, cultural, and ecological aspects. Now the EU directive CSRD on sustainability reporting  and various due diligence legislations are coming into play. Businesses appreciate long-term thinking, and in the turbulent international times we are currently experiencing, there is a strong argument for the importance of a well-thought-out perspective on both ethics and the entire spectrum of sustainability. Here, an award-winning lawyer with expertise in sustainability and human rights issues shares their perspective on the choices that must be made in the coming years. But foremost how sustainable development will change the face of business.

  • BA HELSINKI: Enactment of the Finnish real estate tax reform is approaching - what does an investor need to know?
    Round Table Discussion: Enactment of the Finnish real estate tax reform is approaching - what does an investor need to know? Real estate tax is one of the most significant operating costs of properties. The Finnish real estate tax reform that has been prepared for a decade is now finally entering into the parliamentary decision-making process in Spring 2024.

  • BA HELSINKI: The importance of maintaining focus during turbulent times
    Round Table Discussion: The importance of maintaining focus during turbulent times
    A compass needs to be kept level in order to set the course correctly. The situation in the world can be described as many things, but certainly not level. So how do we maintain the course for sustainable development? We have in many ways identified the problems that need to be addressed in order to work towards economic, social, and ecological sustainability, and the technology that can facilitate this work is available. At the same time, technology is being used as a source of disinformation and undermining democracy. How can we let technology drive progress instead of tearing down society?
