Could you imagine that all engineers in Denmark were engaged in developing specific solutions for achieving the Global Goals through their companies? That was the idea from the Danish Society of Engineers that kick-started an eight-month long “Sustainability Caravan” around Denmark.

Green printing
The caravan had two different goals. The first one was to inform engineers about the SDGs; the second to highlight initiatives and experiences from companies that were already working with the Global goals. For instance, one of the stories shared was the story of a relatively small print company KLS PurePrint, whose vision is to be the greenest print company in the world. The different stories motivated other companies to start working with the SDGs as well.

Blog posts
The caravan managed to reach an impressive number of people: it visited 38 workplaces all over the country, and almost 1,400 engineers took part in the workshops and other activities. A group of 1000 volunteers were involved in making the caravan happen. A group of young engineers wrote 15 blog posts about the caravan and those blog posts were read more than 10.000 times.

Wider network
Besides inspiring engineers and companies around the country, the caravan also had an effect on the many engaged volunteers from the organisations’ different networks. It brought together engineers with a global perspective focusing on green solutions, as well as regionally based networks. Together they managed to mainstream the Global Goals into all the work of the Danish Society of Engineers and even created an engineer SDG-network that focuses on arranging public events.
