Today at 15:50 at HEY/MOBILITY HAMBURG within the Handelskammer Hamburg I will be speaking about the spatial potential of curbside transformation in cities towards a more sustainable and fair distribution of space and a street layout for people and urgently needed infrastructure for micromobility.

Does it also raise your eyebrows when you see a label like "vegan water"? What on earth would make someone think that it might not be? It sounds harmless at first, but such misleading communication can damage other standards that put a lot of effort into helping consumers make the right choices among ocean products. We have explained all these terms in our recent article. Have a read for a better understanding next time you do your groceries!

"Verzögerung der #EUDR gefährdet Investitionen" - sagen auch Nestlé, Unilever und Mars 👀 Die EU-Verordnung für entwaldungsfreie Lieferketten ist ein Meilenstein. Der Bundesverband Nachhaltige Wirtschaft (BNW) berichtete nicht nur darüber, sondern arbeitet auch mit seinen Mitgliedsunternehmen an der Umsetzung. So wurden beispielsweise im Webinar mit der deutschen Umsetzungsbehörde BLE Fragen der Implementierung diskutiert. Und nun schließen sich auch Industriegrößen wie Unilever Nestlé Mars den Protesten gegen die Verzögerung bei der EUDR an: …aus dem Beitrag: „Set to be implemented on 30 December, the companies argue that the EU’s decision to delay the landmark deforestation policy is causing uncertainty across the industry and putting investment at risk. Ferrero global public affairs vice president Franceso Tramontin told the Financial Times that “avoiding potential reopening of the regulation” was fundamental to protecting the preparations companies had already made and to drive further investment in more sustainable practices.“ Weiterlesen hier: https://lnkd.in/dYyn7HnS 📷 BNW e.

The art of deploying fast charging infrastructure - choosing the right location and the right size - is essential to enable electric travel for everyone, while building a sustainable network and business. Effectiveness is key to support the future of mobility and making the EV transition accessible for all.

Decarbonizing the energy-intensive #industry is not easy, but it's possible: 🏗 We need infrastructure to be able to electrify energy-intensive processes in a reliable way. ⛽ We need companies to develop flexibility to use other low-emissions energy sources, asside from electricity. ♻ We need a stronger green market that supports the extra costs that come with the decarbonization of conventional processes. 🏭 And for those emissions, which cannot be avoided, we need clear guguidelines that allow or block the access to technologies such as carbon capture. To make lyme out of lymestone, CO2 has to be produced. There is no way to chemically avoid this, and for these emissions, #CCUS is necessary for a #KlimaneutralesDeutschland2045. These are among the main take-home-messages my team and I discussed before sketching this infographic. I hope the one or the other message got through!!

Germany as a business location has gone from a star to a problem child: little to little growth, poor placements in location rankings, a lack of investment, and high corporate tax rates compared to international standards. The Growth Opportunities Act, which was passed after a long discussion, creates incentives for additional investments. A (small) step in the right direction. But is 3.2 billion euros enough to put the business location on a solid foundation in the long term? Which economic policy reforms need to be addressed? Please have a look on the IMD competitiveness ranking: https://lnkd.in/gu2EXXTK

Highly recommended: The manufacturing industry is undoubtedly under pressure from an inevitable process of change. One of the most important aspects of successfully meeting this challenge, particularly for heavy industry, is the use of hydrogen and securing its supply chains. If you are around, don’t miss this confrence.

History is repeating itself. The AfD’s branding of #Bauhaus as an “error of modernity” is an attempt to distort the legacy of a movement that stands for #openness, #creativity, and #progress - in short: for something #new. Once again, anything that challenges a narrow, backward-looking worldview is labeled as a threat. Bauhaus wasn’t just a fleeting trend — it reshaped design, architecture, and everyday life in ways that are still relevant today. Its emphasis on functionality, simplicity, and innovation continues to inspire and define modern design. Attacking Bauhaus is attacking decades of progress that has improved the way we live, work, and build. We must remember the lessons of the past and stand against those trying to rewrite history. Because going backwards can never be the new forwards, can it? #AFDkissmyass #BeWildAndDifferent #Bauhaus #Modernism #CulturalHeritage #DesignProgress #progress #newthinking #new #creativity #DefendModernity #democracy

German cities become more and more sustainable compared to other global cities, and so achieve a great rank in our latest #sustainablecitiesindex 2024

Raimund Paetzmann David Bücheler- we see this challenge of local planning authorities resisting logistics parks in so many locations across Europe. They simply don't understand the positive impact of logistics operations on the local economy and labour market. The typical view from them is logistics = low number of unskilled jobs. There is so much ignorance and misunderstanding. We are increasingly being asked to support zoning applications to demonstrate these benefits with facts, particularly for skilled jobs. They are partly right in that the shortage of labour is increasing the need for more automation but those facilities typically require higher-skilled roles and better wages. Which to be blunt means more taxes for the local municipality. It is up to us to make the economic case! Agree?

The latest AllBright Report shows notable progress in gender diversity within Germany's 100 largest family companies. 🎉 In a significant shift, the representation of women in leadership roles is increasing. Although the current proportion stands at 12.6%, change is underway. Over the past two years, the proportion of women in executive positions has grown by 4 percentage points, nearly matching the growth seen in listed companies. Interestingly, nearly half of family businesses now include a woman in their management teams, a significant increase from just under a third two years ago. Yet, there's a stark difference between listed and non-listed family businesses. The proportion of women in leadership roles is almost double in listed companies (19.6%) compared to non-listed ones (10.6%). This suggests that transparency and external influence can drive gender diversity in management. Let's not overlook the fact that succession still remains male-dominated, particularly within owner families. However, as the Baby Boomer generation begins to retire, there's a golden opportunity for companies to diversify their leadership. Change is happening, and some companies are already leading the way. Let's keep this momentum going! For more detailed insights, check out the full #AllBright Report #genderdiversity #womeninleadership #changemakers
