About me
As Sustainability Manager, I built up the sustainability department at Wund Holding and, in addition to documentation (carbon footprint, CSRD, etc.), promoted the implementation of improvements by involving and informing employees as well as campaigns and projects.
I am the founder of the Zenaga Foundation gGmbH (www.zenaga.de) and a passionate climate and environmentalist. As a skilled mechanical engineer and banker, i combine technical and economic expertise. Through my membership in various organizations, I have a wealth of experience. By operating several PV systems, my energy surplus house and other measures,
i am completely carbon neutral with my family since 2016. Sustainability is for my private and business the basis of my actions.
In my lectures, workshops, CSR Coaching, Actions and Projects, i show in an impressive way how climate protection and economic action are in harmony and brings added value to all those involved.
I share the knowledge, I have gained in more than 20 years, in voluntary functions
as EU Climate Pact Ambassadors, Climate Reality Leader and as a board member
of the African Centre for Environment, Agriculture and Rural Development.
core message:
"Economics and ecology are not competitors, but two aspects of sustainability. "
