At Scania, we are proud of our products and occasionally receive awards for fuel-efficient vehicles. For this to happen and to lead the way to sustainable transport, we need great people.
So when sustainability manager of the year 2021, Andreas Follér, moved on to a position in TRATON Group, we welcomed the sustainability manager of the year 2023 Fredrik Nilzén, known from the world of banking. Since he basically grew up in a truck, he is back to his roots, with a mindset that revolves around what he can inspire others to accomplish to scale up change, maximise people’s potential, and create value.
As an endurance athlete who navigates demanding terrain and swims in open water for fun (and in the occasional World Championships), a high-performing team is essential. “I believe in the power of the team and what people can accomplish together.”
So what makes him get out of bed in the morning – except for 3,000 meters of open water swimming? It’s the love for business and the care for people. His passions can be boiled down to a few essentials: “Sustainable business models, digitalisation and making large societal impact via business and partnerships.” But the favourite? “Building strong teams with ambitious goals and adding a challenge worth striving for.”
