Seco Tools Appoints VP of Sustainability, EHS
Maria Blomqvist has been appointed to accelerate Seco’s agenda on circularity and create competitive alternatives with suppliers and customers.
Seco Tools has appointed its head of sustainability, Maria Blomqvist, to be the company’s vice president of sustainability and environment, health and safety (EHS). Maria has also become a member of the Seco Management Group, and will continue to report to Stefan Steenstrup, president of Seco.
Bringing sustainability into the management team is a step in the company’s goal to become net zero in scope 1, 2 and 3. Seco says it will accelerate its agenda on circularity and create competitive alternatives with suppliers and customers. A key enabler to achieve this is the continued drive for digitalization and transparency, which will be a focus for Maria Blomqvist.
Maria Blomqvist holds a MS in biology from Linköping University. She joined Seco in 2012 as environmental compliance specialist and later as manager for global EHS and head of sustainability and EHS.
“Sustainability is a top priority at Seco internally but is also increasingly important for our customers. Bringing Sustainability into the management team is a logic step to ensure that we always have a sustainability perspective on all topics,” Steenstrup says.
“Together with my team of highly qualified experts, we will work hard to make sure that Seco will be recognized as a leader in our industry when it comes to sustainability,” Blomqvist says.
