What contribution can we make so that our future generations can live just as good in an ecologically intact and just world?
This is the question that drives me … and was the reason why, after working for several years in sales and technical support in the life sciences industry, I decided to combine these two areas and founded NIUB.
The Idea: NIUB – Sustainability for Life Sciences
For many years, the topics of sustainability, “Green Lab” and corporate sustainability have accompanied me – I share my knowledge and accumulated experience in lectures, workshops and publications. In addition, I do research work and offer individual consulting for your laboratory or company. As part of the audit team for EGNATON-CERT, the first certification standard for sustainable laboratory technologies, I have been supporting its development and implementation for several years.Teamwork instead of individualism – over the years I have built up a broad professional network with experts from sustainability communication to sustainable laboratory construction, which I can rely on when needed.
