Sustainability

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability are an integral part of successful corporate management. Customers, employees, shareholders and the communities in which companies operate demand a credible commitment to the environment and society.

I advise and accompany companies, foundations and NGOs in their projects at the interfaces of business with society, environment and politics. I help them clarify their values and thereby secure internal support and external legitimacy.
