Nordec Hosts Sustainability Day in Prague

In late October, Nordec had the honor of hosting the Nordec Sustainability Day at the Residence of the Finnish Ambassador in Prague. The event aimed to highlight our dedication to sustainability and innovation. It brought together key stakeholders and business partners from the construction sector in Czechia to discuss sustainability and the challenges associated with reducing the carbon footprint of new buildings.

The event underscored Nordec’s commitment to promoting sustainable practices within the industry. Co-hosted by His Excellency Mr. Pasi Tuominen, the event provided a platform for in-depth discussions and knowledge sharing. Keynote speakers included Architect Pekka Pakkanen from Finland and Radoslav Sovják from the Czech Technical University in Prague. Their presentations offered valuable insights into sustainable architecture and construction practices. Additionally, Dan Pada, Nordec’s Technology Manager, presented on Nordec’s journey towards more sustainable buildings. He introduced the Nordec Hybrid Frame concept, which addresses the challenges of reducing carbon emissions in construction.

We wish to extend special thanks to Jan Samec, our Senior Vice President, CEE, and the rest of the Nordec team in Czechia for their efforts in organizing and hosting the event. Their hard work and dedication were instrumental in its success.

Nordec remains committed to supporting the business community in Czechia and other countries as they transition towards more sustainable practices. The discussions and collaborations from this event are expected to contribute significantly to the ongoing efforts to reduce the environmental impact of new buildings.

Nordec showcase in Sweden

Nordec recently held an event in Gothenburg, Sweden, bringing together industry leaders, partners, and stakeholders to discuss and showcase Nordec’s innovative solutions and sustainability goals. 

Held at the well-known Platinan building, a project previously constructed by Nordec, the event aimed to visit Nordec’s Park Central site and present our climate goals and Hybrid Frame concept. This concept combines steel, wood, and concrete for efficient and sustainable material use. Additionally, the event sought to strengthen our collaboration with NCC and other partners, emphasizing our shared commitment to reducing carbon footprints and promoting sustainable construction practices. 

Over two days, attendees engaged in insightful presentations and discussions. NCC began with an overview of the Park Central project, showcasing the successful collaboration with Nordec. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with NCC expressing their satisfaction with Nordec as their frame contractor. 

A detailed site tour of the Park Central construction site provided attendees with a firsthand look at the innovative solutions being implemented and the project’s progress. 

Nordec introduced ongoing projects and delved into the sustainability aspects of the work, emphasizing the efforts to reduce carbon footprints and the importance of sustainable practices. This focus on sustainability was a key factor in NCC’s decision to partner with Nordec. 

The event concluded with a clear sense of direction. Our commitment to sustainability, innovation, and collaboration was evident throughout, and we look forward to continuing our work with NCC and other partners to achieve our shared goals. 

We extend our thanks to everyone who participated and contributed to the success of this event. Special thanks to NCC for their excellent presentation and ongoing collaboration.
