Can sustainability be the backbone and driver of a successful business model? Simon Reckla, Member of the Executive Board of the Wolftank Group, confirmed this in his presentation at the SMC Impact Investment Days in Munich this week. Organized by SMC - Small & Mid Cap Investmentbank AG, this initiative brings together public, private and strategic investors with listed companies active in the sustainability sector. With a clear vision since its founding, Wolftank Group has demonstrated that a commitment to sustainability is not in contradiction with economic profit. In fact, sustainable economic growth not only generates financial returns, but also contributes to the development of society and the environment, creating an additional positive impact. Thanks to all participants for a day full of good insights and promising initiatives! *Photo: SMC- Small & Mid Cap Investmentbank #SMC #Munich #sustainability #sustainablegrowth #investors #capitalmarkets #Energizingthefuture
