The event gathers IT buyers and representatives from the global IT industry to a day packed with inspiration and discussions about sustainability and IT. At Atea Sustainability Forum you have the opportunity to learn from both the industry and peers, but also share your own experiences and become part of the solution. We'll also launch the ASF report, a report which sends out a very important message to the industry.
Atea Sustainability Forum is a Nordic event taking place in Stockholm (main stage), Oslo and Copenhagen at the same time. Choose whether you want to participate digitally during the morning or on site throughout the day. The physical participation gives an exclusive opportunity to have in-depth dialogues with leading representatives in the industry.
Come and discuss what the industry can do, what you can do and - above all - what we can do together.
We’re excited to meet you on March 21!
As we – to quote UN secretary general António Guterres – are on a highway to climate hell with our foot still on the accelerator, we must take immediate and relevant actions to cut emissions. The key to succeed spells accountability – climate accountability.
To the Nordic IT buyers, this means:
What does accountability mean for each actor: buyers, manufacturers, and industry coalitions? What do we need to do and how can we collaborate?

Top diplomat Jan Eliasson is coming to Atea Sustainability Forum to talk about his experiences of sustainability work on an international level.
