Judith Wiese, CPSO, Siemens AG
"The future of our planet demands an economy based on circular principles. This is the key to conserving resources and reducing carbon emissions. For the BMW Group, this means modifying the design process, using resources more efficiently and closing material cycles, while, at the same time, exploring where we can establish closed loops.
In keeping with our approach of “Secondary First”, we will make increasing use of secondary raw materials in the future. And we are constantly looking to drive sustainability innovation forward.
In our search for innovative solutions, we adopt new perspectives and rethink conventional approaches. To be successful in this field, learning for sustainability and circularity is essential. The MBA Program “Sustainability Management” offered by Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg is an excellent basis for acquiring all the necessary competences."
