The Team
At the core of Bæredygtig Herning lies a passion to create sustainable results and transitions based on our core values. With friendly determination, knowledge and courage, we push forward toward a more sustainable Herning.
Entrepreneurship and energy have always gone hand in hand in Herning. Here is no exception. We believe that sustainable local change, success, and growth are driven by entrepreneurial spirit and fortitude. We want to build sustainable business acumen that reverberate all over Denmark – and even further!
The transition to a more sustainable society starts with organisations and businesses. Herning is in a unique position to unite sustainability and business. The city, once a barren Nordic prairie, was tamed by the plough and the loom. Courage, determination and grit are a part of our DNA and a natural resource for our city. We believe that sustainable change should be driven by entrepreneurial spirit and dedication.
Bæredygtig Herning is a non-profit association that supports sustainable development through partnerships and networking. The path from big dreams to business has been walked many times in Herning. We have the will and courage to do it again, this time with sustainability as our guiding light.
Bæredygtig Herning aims to take advantage of Herning’s knowledge, courage, and strength of will to promote sustainable business acumen in ways that reverberate across Denmark. We believe that sustainable local change, success and growth must be driven by entrepreneurship and perseverance.
We are community-driven and together we work towards Herning’s sustainable development. Our members contribute actively to our mission with their knowledge, vision and hands-on efforts.
We are a platform that works for Herning and to develop sustainable life and business.
At the core of Bæredygtig Herning lies a passion to create sustainable results and transitions based on our core values. With friendly determination, knowledge and courage, we push forward toward a more sustainable Herning.

In Herning Municipality's budget agreement for 2019, it was stated that the municipality would intensify their focus on the SDG's. This led to the association Bæredygtig Herning being established with the founding general assembly in August 2020.
The intention with the foundation of the association, as a member organization, was and is to establish a strong forum for sustainable growth and development through partnerships between the municipality's various actors. Bringing the 17 SDG's and sustainability to the core and hearts of Herning.
