The focus: regional companies in the fast lane!
On Tuesday, May 20, 2025, the Bornheim (WFG) business development company (WFG) organizes an important conference under the title "Success factor climate protection-good examples from the region". The event takes place from 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on the premises of Solarparc GmbH at Alexander-Bell-Strasse 20 in Alfter.
This conference addresses company representatives from the region who want to deal intensively with the challenges and opportunities of climate protection. The main speaker, Stephan Grabmeier, will respond to new approaches to sustainability in his keynote entitled "Re: Thinking Sustainability".
focus groups for sustainable practices
A central element of the event are various focus groups that illuminate specific topics of climate protection and sustainability. The topics include:
- Transformation of electricity generation in commercial operations, exemplified by cooperations between Tesvolt and Solarparc GmbH.
- sustainability goals in operational mobility, with a special focus on the LVR clinic Bonn.
- Use of AI for optimization in value -oriented companies, presented by Prior1 GmbH.
- Resource conservation in production processes, addressed by Euro Pool System GmbH.
The event aims to create a space for collective learning and the exchange of proven practices in order to bring the local economy to a more sustainable course.
climate protection as a competitive advantage
The need to implement CO₂ reduction strategies is increasingly recognized by companies. More and more large companies are implementing measures to minimize their ecological footprint. Siemens, for example, plans to be climate -neutral by 2030 and has already invested 650 million euros in this regard. The TD Bank also strives to reach net zero emissions by 2050 and has mobilized 500 billion CAD for sustainable financing.
activities of this kind show how companies not only have a positive impact on the environment through climate protection measures, but also benefit from cost reductions and improved brand image. The strategic handling of CO₂ reduction proves to be an important factor in promoting growth and competitiveness, as the experiences of companies such as Microsoft, Unilever or Walmart illustrate.
In view of these developments, it becomes clear that sustainable practices are not only important for large corporations. Smaller companies can also develop more sustainable business models through investments in climate protection and improve their market position.Education for sustainable development
Another aspect that should not be neglected in the discussion about climate protection and sustainability is the education for sustainable development (ESD). This filozophical approach aims to impart knowledge and skills in order to promote environmental awareness and to initiate social structural changes. The connection between the global and political education is essential to strengthen participation and participation.
Not only the transformation of companies, but also the social dimension of change plays an important role. A joint commitment of everyone involved is needed to create the necessary framework conditions for a fair and sustainable future.
