Following the success of Vegan Tuesdays, Henrik is already thinking bigger. “I have very big ambitions. I want to change the world. I want people to know that the way we’re producing and consuming food right now is bad for the environment. And that we can all do something to change that, by making conscious choices,” he says.
Henrik’s work in this area isn’t just confined to ISS. He is, for example, a board member of REFOOD Label, a certification and advisory organisation that helps companies reduce food waste and increase recycling. For Henrik, this work is a passion – and it is supported by ISS.
“At ISS, you have the freedom to pursue your ambitions. If you have an idea, you can put it out there. If it’s good, they will support it. I love that I have the support of a big company – that I’m empowered to make decisions and make a real difference.”
