My passion: Sustainability / ESG / CSR
Strategic communication, crisis prevention / crisis communication

Sustainability / ESG / CSR


In the context of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 2015, the UN Secretary-General said: “Business is a vital partner in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Companies can contribute through their core activities, and we ask companies everywhere to assess their impact, set ambitious goals and communicate transparently about the results.”


If companies - small, medium or large - act accordingly and understand sustainability as an elementary part of both their strategy and their core business operations, this can result in new business areas, competitive advantages and growth opportunities. And also make a significant contribution to achieving the SDG. I am deeply convinced of that. And it is precisely this belief that drives me.


That's why I support companies (small businesses as well as large, international companies, publicly listed or privately owned) in creating and implementing their specific sustainability strategy and in their operational ESG work, sustainability reports and customer sustainability audits and assessments.

Strategic Corporate Communication


"One cannot not communicate" (Paul Watzlawick)

Active, continuous, comprehensive and transparent communication with all stakeholders such as employees, customers, suppliers, the capital market, shareholders and owners, politics and the social environment is an indispensable basis for the long-term and sustainable success of companies. The development of a communication strategy and support in the operational implementation is part of my consulting offer.

Crisis Prevention / Issue Management / Crisis Communication


Hope for the best - plan for the worst.


Following this principle, companies should prepare themselves fundamentally for a wide variety of risk scenarios, potential issues and crises. Since the next crisis might come faster than expected and hit the business. The precautionary establishment of crisis management and crisis communication is good preparation. I support and advise in the development of appropriate scenarios, concepts and in the application as well as internal and external crisis communication.
