“Heartprint supports companies in identifying the relevant fields of action in order to find their own path between idealistic aspirations and regulatory requirements.”

Is this where you find yourself?

3 motivating factors (future viability, market requirements, legal regulation) form a triangle with a question mark in the middle

There are many different reasons for dealing with sustainability. From the future viability of the planet, market requirements of customers and employees, or legal regulations that cannot be ignored.

At the same time, there is a lack of orientation in many companies:

What should be tackled first?
What has the greatest impact?
Should you hire a service provider, and if so, which one?
Which legal requirements must be met and by when?
How can the data be collected smartly?
Who can coordinate this in the company?
How are you supposed to manage this alongside your day-to-day business?

We can help you find answers to all these questions. We know the challengesyou face and have probably already developed ideas to deal with them. We look forward to getting to know you in an initial, non-binding meeting to find out what you want to focus on and your perspective on implementation.

Motivation - Expertise - Experience

Since having children, the word “sustainability” has become much more concrete and, above all, more urgent. Our mission is to make our expertise in IT with many years of experience in the field of sustainability in corporate structures accessible and usable for small and medium-sized companies.

Sustainability

Knowledge is the only resource that increases when it is shared.
I have spent the last few years developing sustainability guidelines for companies and therefore also for their suppliers.
I now want to pass on this knowledge.

In order to reach many stakeholders quickly, I want to enable companies to manage their own sustainability activities as quickly as possible – but in a prioritized manner and with a clear focus and roadmap.

In addition to my consulting work, I pass on my knowledge as a speaker and “in my spare time” as a board member and CSO of SustainableIT.org.

I am also a certified Human Rights Officer.

IT

In my first jobs, I laid the cables myself and guided customers through problems on the phone. Later, it became more and more strategic and I was allowed to carry out international consolidation projects. But even back then, I would never have dreamed that today I would be talking about the connection between sustainability and IT on stage and in workshops.

However, it is precisely this background – coupled with my direct reporting line to the Group’s Management Board – that enables me to speak to supervisory and management boards as well as employees at eye level and in their real lives.

Group know-how

I have been working for various companies since 2008.
I have been able to get to know very different sectors.
From the media sector and industry to the world of finance and insurance.

Together with my teams, I have developed and implemented the guidelines for the companies themselves and their suppliers in all areas.

I know what it means in practical terms to transform processes and involve employees at all levels.

That’s why I make a point of communicating in a pragmatic, approachable, solution-oriented way and, above all, at eye level – without buzzword bingo.

With heart

We will only succeed in bringing about change if people participate of their own free will and not because they are forced to.
That’s why it’s my mission – as a man of conviction and a climate activist in a suit – to reach people’s hearts and help ensure that everyone from the janitor to the managing director knows what needs to be done, is able to make their contribution and is motivated to act.

Sustainably on the way

With Heartprint GmbH, I have the same questions and challenges as other companies. Who do I work with? What resources do I use? How do I use as few resources as possible?

There are areas where this is already working very well. Heartprint GmbH is consistently sustainable in areas such as finance, insurance and mobility (keyword: Bahncard instead of company car).

We are still on the way in other areas. For example, the website’s accessibility and resource efficiency do not yet go far enough for us.

But we decided to do what we advise our customers to do: rather start imperfectly than never start “perfectly”.
… and allow ourselves to ask healthy questions about time, money and effectiveness.

If you have any questions about our service providers, please let me know. Maybe I have a tip for you.
