World Day for Safety and Health at Work by ILO is celebrated annually on April 28 to promote the prevention of occupational accidents and diseases globally.

Climate change, one of the biggest challenges of this century, is especially affecting women. Around 80% of people displaced by climate change are women according to studies by the United Nations. Women are also powerful leaders and influencers when it comes to climate adaptation and mitigation. To ensure a sustainable tomorrow, it is crucial to break gender equality constraints and empower more girls and women to become active players and decision makers related to sustainability.

Willy Davis Bordignon began his career with us in 1995.

Here, Willy shares his Ahlstrom-Munksjö milestones.
Kent Williamson has worked within the Ahlstrom-Munksjö family for more than 30 years (and no, that is not a typo) – three, zero! From the comings and goings of five U.S presidents to the toppling of the Berlin Wall – there have certainly been some major global events during this time frame. However, what sticks out most for Kent are the events you won’t find in a national newspaper: how he proposed to his wife; the birth of his two sons; the cultures and friendships he was exposed to through his work over the years. Here, Kent shares his Ahlstrom-Munksjö milestones.

We want to take you back to the year 1997. The Spice Girls are dominating the pop charts; world champion chess player Garry Kasarov has just lost the first match of his career to Deep Blue (IBM’s artificial intelligence system); Tony Blair becomes UK Prime Minister and Titanic (one of the top-grossing movies of all time) is released into cinemas worldwide. Can you remember where you were or what you were doing?
