About Waila

Waila is a word of Gothic origin which means “in a good manner”. This mirrors our desire to utilize our creative power to make a real contribution to environmental and nature protection.

In the same way our balanced company structure makes sure that Waila can offer all team members a meaningful, self-determined and pleasant work.

Waila unifies outstanding technical and ecological expertise. We offer innovative and premium-quality services to our clients at fair cooperation conditions. We take risks jointly with our clients if we trust in a business model.

Waila’s operations are already climate positive today. Our scope 1 and scope 2 emissions are less than zero: we only use climate positive and self-generated solar power for our office (including heating) and electric car. We also strive to keep our scope 3 emissions to a minimum: we avoid air travel and choose renewable fuel for unavoidable air travel. We prefer shipping companies that use renewable fuel. We overcompensate our remaining scope 3 emissions through carbon sequestration in  agriculture via our HimlaJord climate fund. Our climate goal is to maximize the net carbon sequestration from the atmosphere through our own operations.

Waila Aktiebolag is a Swedish non-public Stock Corporation based on Gotland.

For the past two years, Anne has focused on advising farmers on Gotland on resource-efficient farm management, providing practical, tailored solutions to reduce emissions and improve biodiversity on their farms.

With a diploma in landscape ecology and nature conservation from Greifswald University and over a decade of experience, including nine years at nature conservation agencies in Germany, Anne has been deeply involved in preserving biodiversity across cultural landscapes. She has contributed to creating conservation strategies that integrate agriculture, forestry, and habitat protection, in collaboration with a range of stakeholders.

Her work in research includes developing Natura 2000 conservation plans and creating practical frameworks that balance agricultural productivity with ecological preservation. She has also led conservation efforts, from monitoring extensively used meadows and pastures to developing guidelines for grazing-based conservation and assessing forest species in the Alpine region.

Driven by the belief that “human beings are part of nature – and nature is part of humans,” Anne is passionate about forging connections between ecological health and agricultural practices.

Carl Brundin, member of the supervisory board
is wind energy teacher at the Campus Gotland of the University of Uppsala. He has a master of science degree in energy engineering at the institute of applied Physics and Electronics of Umeå University . Prior to that, he studied ecology at Gotland University. That sharpened his understanding of the vulnerability of our ecosystems. Carl would like to contribute to social paradigm shifts to radically reduce the  displacement of natural systems. The decarbonization of the energy sector and the improvement of its land-use-effectivity are vital in this respect. For the reasons stated above, Carl is joining Waila on the travel to a better future.

“ Freedom offers the opportunity to change your feet before every single step you take.

Tore Wizelius, member of the supervisory board
Tore is a wind energy specialist. He developed the education program on wind energy project development offered by Gotland University, and wrote textbooks which also have been published in English, including: Windpower Projects – theory and practice (Routledge 2015) och Windpower Ownership in Sweden – business models and motives (Routledge 2014). He is currently running several Swedish wind energy companies.

“ If you do not just dream, but also realize your dreams, it is realy cool to live.

Tharanga Kulamithra, member of the supervisory board
