BillerudKorsnäs appoints EVP Sustainability

BillerudKorsnäs Sustainability Director Malin Ljung Eiborn will on the 1st of October take place in the Executive Leadership Team of BillerudKorsnäs. Sustainability thus becomes a separate function at group level instead of, as previously, part of the communication department.

In BillerudKorsnäs, supplier of sustainable packaging materials and solutions, sustainability is integrated in the business. The company’s purpose “we challenge conventional packaging for a sustainable future” becomes even clearer when the group wide responsibility now becomes part of the Executive Leadership Team (ELT).

“Sustainability is today at the heart of our business. We will continue to take the lead and to include sustainability in the ELT as its own group function therefore feels natural. The fact that Malin in her relatively short time in the company has already contributed strongly to our development made including here in the ELT an easy decision to take”, says Petra Einarsson President and CEO.

“I am very happy about this opportunity and look forward to now stepping into the ELT and continue to develop sustainability as a strong driving force for our company’s continued development. Since sustainability is part of everything we do, this is also an important step in getting the whole company moving in the same direction towards a sustainable future”, says Malin.

Malin Ljung Eiborn has been Director Sustainability and public affairs at BillerudKorsnäs since January 2018. Before that she worked for the communications agency Prime where she was partner and part of developing the sustainability offering. Malin has previously worked for many years at the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and has a Master’s degree in EU law.”
