SUSTAINABILITY IS ALSO ABOUT CONSCIOUSNESS AND AUTHENTICITY

At SEAS-NVE, mindfulness, training with horses and Native American wisdom principles go naturally hand-in-hand with running a modern business. To them, sustainability is not only about green energy. It’s also about putting people first.

SEAS-NVE is Denmark’s largest cooperatively-owned energy and fibre-optic company.

From the outside they look like a traditional energy company: They deliver electricity, gas and fibre to almost 700,000 customers, employ more than 900 people, invest in wind turbines, infrastructure for electrical cars, roll out fibre-optic broadband and renovate street lighting.

From the inside, however, the foundation of the company builds on something very unique: a culture of consciousness, authenticity and trust.

… AND NATURAL HORSEMANSHIP

In addition to this, all employees are offered the possibility to attend a two-day mindfulness course as well as a three-day course where they learn about leadership, interpersonal communication and building trusting relationships.

Here they, among other things, apply untraditional methods such as Natural Horsemanship where interaction with horses is used for training authentic communication, presence and grounding.

As Marianne Kildedal, Head of Responsible Leadership & CSR, explains:

“In SEAS-NVE, we believe a horse can teach us something about personal development and communication. And mindfulness training provides our employees with practical tools to be more balanced, attentive and focused. In our company we mean it very broadly when we say it’s all about energy.”
