Communications Council

The Communications Council works with communication issues of common interest to the iron and steel industry.

Collaboration on the steel industry communications

Jernkontoret's communications council consists of communication managers and communicators at Jernkontoret's co-owners and stakeholders. The council collaborates in industry-wide activities such as Ståldagen and events in Almedalen. Some industry-wide issues, such as employer branding and sustainability communication, are discussed in the council.

The council is led by Jernkontoret's communications director Hanna Escobar-Jansson. The council meets twice a year and – among other things – study visits, courses or trainings are arranged in different constellations. In order to increase the accessibility of the members, meetings are also held digitally.
