I’ve always been intrigued by learning new things, which is one of the reasons I started studying logistics in the fall of 2024. At the age of 41… not a second too early, right?
Balancing a full-time job, my own small-scale company, and a family has kept my days full—sometimes feeling like there just aren’t enough hours in a day. The fall of 2024 brought its fair share of 24-hour+ workdays. Demanding, yes, but also rewarding in many ways.
One of the courses we had last semester was Principles in Value Chain Management. It taught me many valuable lessons, but what stood out the most was the emphasis my lecturer placed on sustainability—not just in business, but in everyday life.
When working on the course and writing essays or reports about a company’s supply chain, the first place I turned to was their sustainability reports. These reports provided a window into the measures companies were taking to create sustainable and resilient practices.This process truly intrigued me. It made me realize just how crucial sustainability will be for businesses in the years to come—not just as a trend, but as an essential part of long-term success and responsibility.
This has also made me reflect on my own responsibility in creating a more sustainable world. What measures have I taken to contribute? If I’m honest, not much more than what’s expected from an average Norwegian citizen.
In this blog, I’ll explore topics related to sustainability—both in business and in everyday life. I’ll share my experiences, insights, and discoveries along the way. My hope is that this will not only inspire but also provide practical value for you as you navigate your own journey toward a more sustainable lifestyle.
If there are any topics you’d like me to explore or discuss, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d also love to hear your own insights and experiences—feel free to share them with me! With a schedule that’s often overflowing, my goal is to post every 1–2 weeks. However, I’ll make sure to be available to respond to any comments or questions that come my way.
Until next time, take care!
Mr. Hetland
