Slide

«Digital and sustainable transformation are mutually inspiring or mutually supportive long-term processes that create business added value and, at the same time, also make a significant contribution to a «better world».»

Slide

«The introduction of an environmental management system on behalf of the board of directors without “insight” from management at the turn of the millennium showed me where the implementation of such a drastic change management process is in practice. Personal conviction, passion and motivation combined with the ability to approach people, to define (intermediate) goals together with these and to develop solutions so that everyone involved recognizes the resulting ecological, social and economic added value, acts accordingly and implements it. Today this is referred to as «good governance».»

Slide

«My business curiosity led to the first sustainability infection, caused by the «positive virus» of eco-efficiency launched by Stephan Schmiedheini. A first «positive practice booster» as a senior management delegate for sustainability turned curiosity into a personal passion. Even the sobering experience of greenwashing in the financial industry could not dampen this passion. Rather, with increasing age in combination with my professional experience, a kind of economy-driven professional ESG vocation with personal meaning developed.»

Slide

«A demonstrable majority of boards of directors, executive boards and political bodies are still reluctant to follow up «their» ESG commitments with effective entrepreneurial actions. Only courageous executives who believe in the opportunities offered by sustainable company management are willing to plan long-term and initiate the associated short- and medium-term interim goals and wait patiently in order to achieve long-term success.»

Nothing is as constant as change.

Heraclitus, Greek philosopher

This statement applies today more than ever. Our innovation-driven society initiates ongoing change, longing for human values and the constants in life at the same time.

Sustainability often takes a back seat here. In today’s short-lived world, I offer consistency over time with my business model driven by customer needs and stand for entrepreneurial values and sustainability in cooperation.
