PostNord’s sustainability manager Naznoush Habashian highlights the complex sustainability challenges that all of us face due to changing lifestyles, digitalisation, technological development, and the current, complicated security policy situation.

Naznoush is Head of Sustainability at PostNord Sweden and has been named one of Sweden’s most powerful sustainability leaders for two years in a row. She has solid experience in sustainability work, most recently as Head of Sustainability, Swedish Armed Forces HQ.
