Meet Fredrik Mantin, Boxon’s Global Key Account Manager and one of the company’s most passionate sustainability advocates. For him, sustainability isn’t just a box to check – it’s a business opportunity, a competitive edge, and a way to build long-term customer relationships.
But what does sustainability actually look like in practice? What are the challenges? Let’s dive in.
“We make sure sustainability is embedded in everything we do,” says Fredrik. “We’ve launched a global internal training program with webinars and real-world cases that all employees actively engage in. And to keep knowledge accessible, we’ve built a database – a resource for us at Boxon and our customers – since it’s one thing to understand sustainability, and another to navigate an evolving market and make real changes.”
“Sustainability starts with small everyday decisions,” says Fredrik. “I always try to take the train or drive an EV for business trips. I’ve even traveled to Germany by train several times. Sure, it takes a bit more planning, but it’s worth it. It’s also a better way to work on the go and a more social way to travel.”
“It’s simple – we bring it up at every customer meeting. Tougher EU regulations will soon force all businesses to operate more sustainably, so we see it as our responsibility to help customers get ahead of the curve,” says Fredrik.
