The food industry has the obligation to reduce the footprint our nutrition has for the world. For this, strong and committed producers join forces with NGO for quality control and an effective, agile management team. We (i) establish a scientific advisory board to develop comparative standards for CO₂e transparency in the food industry; (ii) develop an industry standard for transparent collection and communication of the CO₂e footprint of a product; (iii) communicate the importance of product-related CO₂ emissions to the public, politicians, consumers and companies.

In response to an emergent necessity for a life-affirming, symbiotic collaboration between politics, economy, science and the civic society, we create a Chamber of Purpose (CoP) in addition to the established Chambers of Commerce. The CoP connects stakeholders committed to act responsibly and design legal and economic standards that benefit the environment and all life. Pioneering a climate law in Germany together with GermanZero since 2019, the goal is to scale the initiative in Europe.

Stakeholders from around the value chain come together to reinvent plastic as an asset that is owned and tracked. Instead of being sold, disgarded and arduously recovered, plastic should be a token of value. The goal of this initiative is to create a system of multi-lateral contracts, like a trading platform which incentivises deposit schemes and economically viable synergies. Early members of PlasTrade benefit from fast, agile, goal-oriented action that no one could achieve alone. They will be the fortrunners in this new market, sustainability pioneers, and the beneficiaries of its economic advantage.

Climate change, geopolitical crises and the pandemic – the last few years have been rich in challenges for Germany, Europe and the world. But challenges are always also opportunities; opportunities to create a future that works sustainably better than current systems. It is our task to prepare tomorrow’s movers and shakers to take on these challenges. Because as Albert Einstein said, “You can never solve problems with the same mindset that created them.” A new EU project is promoting a new way of thinking by bringing together STEM, business and the highly required “future skills”.

Regenerative Reboot is a project that seeks to achieve an ecological, social and systemic transformation within various territories (bio-regions). The project is about integrating and aligning the strategy and impact of the organisations that live or operate in these bio-regions and moving them towards regeneration.

Our partner, the Global Impact Alliance is a courageous stand for the potential of humanity to evolve in mindset, and create systems that ensure an equitable, purpose driven and sustainable 21st century. The NGO convenes a change network of Impact Entrepreneurs (“Creators”), Impact Investors (“Catalysts”) and Conscious Citizens (“Mentors”). We connect, advice, mentor and train to create measurable and scalable impact and system change. We work with organisations and companies ready to cooperate across sectors to meet the SDGs and implement the Roadmap of our Charta.
