For those who are not familiar with the impressive Nordic culture and values, this is an opportunity for you to appreciate and understand why the Nordic Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines since 2014 has started to recognize various companies that share the Nordic values in business that of equality, innovation, and growth.
Interestingly, the Nordic Sustainability Awards Night evolved from the Nordic Awards Night of recent years. The word “Sustainability” was added for this run of the event to emphasize NordCham Philippines’ focus on promoting sustainable development goals that are in line with the Nordic Values.
The goal of this annual event is to give recognition to Nordic affiliated companies who conduct their business guided by both the SDGs and Nordic values.
