atNorth has appointed Janne Sigurdsson as Chief Sustainability and Compliance Officer. With an extensive background in strategy and management, Janne will ensure that atNorth’s sustainability, security, compliance, IT and business process management initiatives receive dedicated executive level direction.

As atNorth continues to scale rapidly in response to increasing demand for its sustainable infrastructure, the business remains committed to adhering to robust frameworks around security and governance, and to continue to mitigate its environmental impact to ensure responsible operations in the long term. Janne’s experience in global supply chain and operations support this objective and will ensure these factors are cohesively integrated into atNorth’s growth strategy.

I look forward to taking part in atNorth’s journey of innovation and self-improvement as we continue to deliver responsible operational excellence”.
