History
On a monday morning
In 2007, the founder of media group Monday Morning, Erik Rasmussen, created the Copenhagen Climate Council which in 2009 became Monday Morning Global Institute and later Sustainia with Laura Storm, its first executive. Since then we have researched and promoted thousands of fact-based stories about the best sustainable solutions from around the world. Today, we simplify sustainability and provide strategic direction and inspiring content to leadership teams. Headquartered in Copenhagen, our interest and reach is global.
