– I have been looking for a digital tool which supports me to work with sustainability, even as a small enterprise. Now I’ve found it: ansvarsfullt.se
– The tool is so good that I am now an AMBASSADOR for ansvarsfullt.se in the Southern of Sweden.
– A small company can work with sustainability and produce a sustainability report that meet the demands from the large customers.
FoodTankers has published their second Sustainability Report, now according to GRI Standards, the international standard for sustainability reporting, used by over 90 % of large enterprises.
GE99 has supported FoodTankers to transform the report from GRI G4 to the new GRI Standards.
GE99:s summergift is a bag made of Fair Trade cotton. “If we don’t act now there will be more plastic than fish in the seas by the year 2050” (Håll Sverige Rent – a non profit organization to keep Sweden a clean country).
My tip: Put your tote bag in your car and bring it to the store. When you packed up the grocerys at home, put the bag nearby your car keys so you won’t forget it next time.
HAVE A REALLY NICE SUMMER
”Thank You Johnny Gylling for thorough examination of our impact on the Haulage Industry, writes Tove Winigers, Head of Public Affairs at The Swedish Association of Road Transport Companies at LinkedIn.”
”We are proud and pleased that our sustainability report on Fair Transport is ready! As the first professional organization we have let reviewing our CSR work. Three years in and a sector that initially showed skepticism now indicates that profitability has increased, perhaps due to a higher level of ambition with regard to road safety, climate and environment, and social responsibility?”
– It has been a challenging but fun mission to produce the sustainability reporting of Fair Transport, says Johnny Gylling, GE99. One of my conclusions in the report is that Fair Transport has been positive for the industry, but needs to be developed so that hauliers themselves reported its sustainability work in the future. It would benefit all parties.

From today GE99 is a member of NetPort Energy cluster:
“We welcome companies and organizations who are passionate about innovation in energy and sustainability issues! Together we create an innovation environment with developments of sustainable products and services.”
Today I recieved my diploma for the GRI Certified Training Course for the transition from GRI G4 to GRI Standards (Sustainability Reporting). The course was held by Enact in Stockholm and is certified by GRI (Global Reporting Initiative). More than 90 percent of large enterprises are using GRI for sustainability reporting. It is so fun to add on to your knowledge and to forward it to companies and organisations!
Are there any kind companies…?
When Christmas is arriving we all become more kind. That is good! Dr Stefan Einhorn writes in his book The art of kindness: “To me, a kind person is an individual who lives with ethics in the heart”. Can there be such as kind companies? Yes, if all employees in a company are kind, then the whole company becomes kind, right?
A tips to spread kindness is when your company tells about your social responsibility. That will inspire more to do that extra thing.
I would want to thank all my clients for good cooperation during 2016 and thank’s to all I have been welcomed to visit and talk about sustainability.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
The Parliament accepted today the Government’s proposal to adopt the EU-directive on non-financial reporting for larger enterprises. Though several parties wanted to raise the bar from 250 employees to 500 (according to the directive) the Christian Democrats and the Center Party provided support to the red-green government.
I have met several large companies in the South-East of Sweden that has no sustainability reporting today. They often perform well but lacks transparency – they should tell more about their sustainability performance. It will be exciting to support these companies to start with the reporting process. Sustainability reporting is not a burden – it is a competitive advantage.
Last years environmental goal for GE99 was to improve our electronic purchases. The large mobile phone manufacturers have had great problems with labour conditions in China and Korea. We wanted to test a Fairphone and hope that the big ones would be affected by Fairphone. You can read more about Fairphone here
