Björn Elfgren is an accountant in Baker Tilly and strongly committed to the MER project. Baker Tilly is among the 8 biggest audit firm networks in the world. In Sweden you can find them from Landskrona in the south to Luleå up north. With an attitude of always being willing to develop both businesses and people, Björn came on board as an advisor and driving force when the Karlstad-based company Camatec AB decided to launch an MER-based environmental project.

One of Björn’s principal objectives, as mentioned,

is always to contribute to the development of the people he works with. As an environmentally committed auditor, he likes to lift the lid on aspects of the operation that affect the environment in general and the climate in particular. Business travel is one such aspect, and it is not just environmental effects that are concerned. What do staff do while they are travelling – how is the time utilised between points A and B?

Are resources perhaps unutilised when someone
with top-level skills spends too great a proportion of their working time travelling?
