Keynote Discussion: Natalia Hahn, Balanced Impact Global AB/Inc.

Headshot of Keynote speaker, Natalia Hahn

In this keynote discussion, Natalia will help us demystify the journey to sustainability and find out what it might truly mean for you, your colleagues, and your organization. We will discuss how you can contribute to embedding more sustainable thinking into your organization’s DNA, and how that can lead to long-lasting, positive, and measurable societal impact.

Natalia’s entrepreneurial career began at age 18, when she opened a chain of niche sports stores. She went on to earn a Master’s degree in Environment and Management and gained valuable experience working as a sustainability consultant for municipalities, cities, and conservation areas. Natalia then continued to hone her skills working as IKEA Canada’s national sustainability manager. She was later promoted to headquarters in Sweden to take on the responsibility of setting the vision and strategy for IKEA Group’s global retail sustainability operations. Today, Natalia continues to follow her passion of working alongside organizations to create customized sustainability strategies.
