ESG TRANSPARENCY AWARD 2024

Active communication that helps to publicize success stories is a key factor in spreading awareness of sustainability and ESG in business and society. The more we learn about the – sometimes incredible – progress that companies around the world have made, the more we motivate others to take the next step towards a more sustainable future. This is where I contribute.

I am delighted about the recognition of our transparent sustainability reporting. I am looking forward to discussing the challenges that the topic of sustainability/ESG poses for companies with other experts.

Reconciling environmental protection, economic growth and social justice is the task of our time to ensure a future worth living. It is with great conviction that I am advocating for sustainable developments in order to bring about positive changes for people and the environment.

Because transparency creates trust: I would like to see responsible reporting on the successes and challenges of their sustainability transformation by organizations and companies.

I am convinced that we must all take responsibility for future generations in order to preserve a world worth living in. This conviction motivates me every day to promote environmental protection, social issues and sustainable corporate governance in the business sector, and to create incentives for sustainable development.

I am an advocate for communication in the ESG segment in order to create transparency, provide information about ESG initiatives and inspire new activities at the same time. In this way, I want to exert a positive influence on social and ecological development and actively contribute to ESG transformation.

Sustainability concerns us all and can only be successfully implemented together. That is why it is so important to exchange ideas and work together both within and across companies.

There is no planet B.

I want to advocate for a sustainable future and believe that companies have a great ESG responsibility and should exercise a positive influence. I also want to use the opportunity to develop measures together with committed people to bring about positive change.

ESG is still a very young field that is steadily gaining new insights. For this reason, I am convinced that networking is of tremendous importance in order to stay up to date and keep up with this rapid pace. I am very grateful that there are organizations like EUPD Research that create the possibility of such a network.

I have been involved with CSR reporting standards for more than 10 years and have played a leading role in developing this area within the company. Current regulation at many levels (including CSRD, EU taxonomy, Green Deal) brings new opportunities, but also presents many companies with a number of challenges. I am pleased to be able to use my experience and knowledge on the Committee in this regard.

From my point of view, long-term success and sustainable business is only possible if everyone in the company, in politics as well as with suppliers and customers works together. Communication and transparency about the respective activities and goals are therefore extremely important in order to achieve the integration and joint alignment of local and global efforts. The ESG framework provides a framework that needs to be used and shaped.

Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our times, and it’s already happening. Sustainability means a challenge: to make a positive impact now and for the next generations to come. This is a daily mission, motivation, and a truly exciting professional field in today‘s world.

It is the responsibility of all of us to implement sustainable changes, create trust and clarity, and act considerably faster with the help of digital solutions. Let’s do it together!

ESG reporting is becoming increasingly important in corporate communication and presentation, and a transparent and credible portrayal is crucial for the long-term success of a company.

I am looking forward to the exchange with a range of interesting colleagues in sustainability reporting, to raise non-financial reporting to the level of financial reporting.

What we do today decides how the world will look tomorrow.

Sustainable business practices are essential to preserve our planet and our environment. Climate, environmental and species protection is the key to this. My deep conviction and passion for this is my daily motivation.

Sustainability requires a holistic approach that goes far beyond environmental aspects. For long-term economic stability, people, strategic orientation and corporate management must all be taken into account. A sustainable and long-term successful company focuses on promoting employee development and well-being as well as transparent and responsible decision-making processes.

For me, the elements of ESG reporting are at the heart of the socio-economic transformation process, in which we can learn from each other and shape the future together!

Working in sustainability management affords me the unique opportunity to actively contribute to the creation of a livable future by supporting and accompanying organizations and companies in their transformation towards sustainability.

As Vice President for Resources and Governance at the University of Siegen (2019-2024), sustainability management at the University of Siegen was part of my duties. In my field of business administration, human resources management and organization, I have a lot to do with the strategic sustainability design of companies – in research and teaching.

Finding the path to a sustainable future together is the challenge that drives me.

Sustainable management seems to me to be the only sensible management approach. I want to promote the realization – in my own company and in the economy – that sustainability is a chance and can be seen as an opportunity that benefits one’s own company, the economy, society and the environment in the long term.

Knowledge transfer. Progress. Cooperation.

Sustainability has always been of great importance because it improves the quality of life of our and future generations. Every contribution counts and I want to do my part to ensure a functioning ecosystem and social justice. The key to success lies in awareness, education, innovation and strong partners.

Participation in the ESG Committee offers a unique opportunity to fundamentally transform the construction industry through innovative and sustainable approaches. I want to contribute to uniting the best practices of all industries in one network and integrate the findings into our processes at JOHANN BUNTE. This way, we can ensure that we not only meet current standards, but also act as a pioneer for sustainability and efficiency in the construction industry.

The consequences of climate change are already being felt on our doorstep. Now more than ever, organizations need to take their environmental, social and economic responsibilities seriously and work together to pool their expertise. The ESG Transparency Committee takes on precisely this task and aims to have a positive impact on the environment and society.

We are living in a time when we are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of ESG and sustainability issues – finally, since it has been clear for decades where the global community is heading. But the perception of what can be done and what needs to be done is very different whether you work for a company, an investor, in academia or for an NGO. This why we need experts who can use their experience to help bring the different perspectives together in order to find solutions quickly. That’s exactly what I do.

Be an inspiring leader of sustainable, profitable change and create a more just future with a global team! Showing that it is possible! Again and again!

For me, sustainability is essential because it concerns the future of our planet and the well-being of future generations. I see a great responsibility for myself as well as hospitals as major CO2-emitters, to use the resources available to us carefully. By acting sustainably, we can protect the environment, fight climate change and create more social justice.

ESG measures ensure our future. We need a fair approach to our environment and society.

„Anyone who stops getting better has stopped being good.” (Philipp Rosenthal) This quote is still relevant today. Especially in the rapidly and consistently changing field of ESG reporting of our business landscape.

It is my personal goal to make a positive contribution to overcoming global challenges by advocating for responsible business practices. I am looking forward to contributing my in-depth knowledge from over ten years of professional experience in ESG management to this important initiative.

I am convinced that sustainable action ensures long term success. I am committed to ensuring that sustainability is seen as an opportunity – creating added value for the environment, people and companies.

For me, acting in a sustainable manner is a must – this is how future generations can lead a good life here on earth in 70 years time.

Sustainability means acting responsibly for our own generation as well as the next. Transparency within the company creates understanding and the basis for good business decisions. Sustainability is the transformation of the business model in the field of tension between profitability, competitiveness, innovation, digitalization and change. I want to help support responsible decision-making processes and strengthen ESG practices.
