Global Sustainability Manager
This is greentalk.
150 students, renown guests, one topic: Building a fair and sustainable economy.
Our first guest.
No other than 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!“
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.

the Let's rethink the fashion industry.
Our second event discussing the sustainable transformation of the textile industry.
Featuring:
Poor working conditions, unsustainable resources, tons of waste … there are countless issues in the fashion industry when it comes to sustainability.
Around 80 students from the TUM Campus Straubing discussed solutions to make the fashion industry more sustainable and fair.
The discussions were enriched by two keynote speeches by our guests:
Katrin Bolkart is a Principal Consultant at Anthesis Group, one of the largest sustainability consultancies. Her focus is on life cycle analysis and carbon accounting. In her keynote, she shared important insights on the state of the sustainable transformation of the fashion industry with the audience.
Michael Pfeifer is co-founder of the Berlin-based upcycling start-up MOOT. His start-up reduces textile waste by making new clothes from discarded garments. In his keynote speech and a subsequent interview, he told us about the process of upcycling textiles and explained his path to becoming a start-up.
