About Karin!
My name is Karin and I´m working at Embracer Group since 2019. My role at Embracer is to lead and develop our sustainability work. We believe that by working in a sustainable way, we will;
keep our most valuable assets – our employees,
become even more interesting to talents around the world,
make better games and be interesting to all our stakeholders for a long time.
My job is to put sustainability on everyone's agenda and one way of doing this is by an ambassador program that we have in place since a few months ago. We are working crossborder with our subsidiaries all over the world to make a difference in the long run together. By sharing the best practices and by finding new solutions and ways of working more sustainable.
I live in Hammarö with my husband and four kids, they are between 6 and 16 years old and they are truly the most interesting people I know. In my spare time I have a small company that I like to work with, It´s called The Wetalk and we are selling games, not videogames, but card games for couples. Before starting at Embracer I had my own restaurant for 10 years and I´ve also run a “Matkasse-företag” for seven years.
In this lunch talk, I would like to talk about how we work with sustainability in our global group, and I want to share some good tips on how to contribute to a slightly more sustainable future. I look forward to talking with you and you are welcome to think about the question:
What does sustainability for you? In your private life and in your career?
