impact.

The sustainability-oriented talk series at the TUM campus in Straubing.

This is greentalk.

150 students, one guest, one topic: Building a fair and sustainable economy.

Our first guest.

Dieter Overath, founder of Fairtrade Deutschland.

„Dear coffee companies: If you do not want to save the world, then at least save your supply chains!“

Sustainability, social justice and business administration – few German entrepreneurs have thought these terms together as consistently over the past three decades as Dieter Overath. After a stay in South America – where he became aware of the exploitation of coffee farmers by global trade – he set the goal of establishing a network for fairly traded products from the global South. Today, the Fairtrade label is the best-known and most widespread social label in Germany, with an awareness level of around 90%. Dieter Overath was honored for his life’s work with the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany in September 2022. On June 28 Dieter Overath shared his experiences from thirty years of Fairtrade history and discussed the potential of Fairtrade in the future with 150 students of TUM Campus Straubing.

Wir freuen uns sehr, den Gründer von Fairtrade Deutschland, Dieter Overath, als unseren ersten Gast ankündigen zu dürfen.

Nachhaltigkeit, soziale Gerechtigkeit und Betriebswirtschaft – wenige deutsche Unternehmer haben diese Begriffe in den vergangenen drei Jahrzehnten so konsequent zusammengedacht wie Dieter Overath.

Nach einem Aufenthalt in Südamerika – wo er auf die Ausbeutung der Kaffeebauern durch den Welthandel aufmerksam wurde – fasste er das Ziel, ein Netzwerk für fair gehandelte Produkte aus dem globalen Süden zu etablieren. Heute ist das Fairtrade-Siegel mit einem Bekanntheitsgrad von rund 90 % das bekannteste und am weitesten verbreitete Sozialsiegel in Deutschland.

Für sein Lebenswerk wurde Dieter Overath im September 2022 mit dem Bundesverdienstkreuz ausgezeichnet.

Am 28. Juni (NAWAREUM Straubing, Einlass 18:30 Uhr) wird Dieter Overath seine Erfahrungen aus dreißig Jahren Fairtrade Geschichte teilen und einen Blick auf das Potenzial von fairem Handel in Zukunft werfen.

Kostenlos dabei sein! (Tickets)
