Triscan's participation in The Green Academy – which has previously been mentioned in the article "Focus on sustainability and sustainability reporting – ESG" – prompted a visit from Councillor Anders Winnerskjold on November 22nd 2023.
The purpose of the meeting was to give Anders Winnerskjold insight into the preliminary experiences of the associated Green Change Agents and Triscan, respectively, in connection with participation in this company-oriented offer from Aarhus Municipality's climate plan and Jobcenter Aarhus.
After a short presentation of Triscan, the Green Change Agents (Amalie Blæsild Johansen, Bonnie Lee Bogers and Marie Markman) presented themselves as well as the areas within the ESG area they particularly work with at Triscan. Anders Winnerskjold then asked a few questions about the Green Change Agents' experience of the training programme – including the case study at Triscan. For all three, it had been a very positive experience.
In this context, Martin Kjær – Business Consultant from Aarhus Jobcenter – could report the excellent results that have been achieved in connection with getting the Green Change Agents into work after graduation. About 70% of the unemployed graduates who have been upskilled at the Green Academy are in work within six months.
Anders Winnerskjold's questions about Triscan's assessment of the Green Academy as a company-oriented offer from Aarhus Municipality and the preliminary assessment of the benefits for Triscan, gave rise to great praise for both the Green Change Agents, the Green Academy and Aarhus Municipality.
"We believe that many other companies in Aarhus Municipality can benefit from accepting the offer in order to gain important knowledge, perhaps subsequently hire a Green Change Agent and generally get ready for the soon-to-be statutory ESG reporting" – Morten Hallum, Triscan.
Towards the end, there was time for a short tour of Triscan's warehouse in Brabrand.
