In this episode of In the Hot Seat, Marja Innanen (UN Global Compact Network Finland), Juspal Manic (Featurespace), and Monika Liikama (Enfuce) join host Denise Johansson to challenge how businesses approach SDG 16 — and why the future belongs to those bold enough to lead it.
Together, they explore:
-
Why SDG 16 is a growth opportunity disguised as a governance challenge.
-
How everyday transactions can unknowingly fuel illicit activity — and what to do about it.
-
The incoming wave of regulation, and why waiting it out isn’t an option.
-
How human stories reframe the fight against fraud and make it personal.
-
What it means to take the fortitude pledge — and why aiming for 100% beats safe targets every time.
Tune in for a no-holds-barred conversation that puts purpose, courage and action at the centre of sustainable business.
