7. How does your company implement the topic of sustainability?   

Our goal as innos GmbH is not only to understand sustainability as a promise, but to make our projects and business practices sustainable. For example, we have developed our own guidelines for organising events in a sustainable manner - from the selection of environmentally friendly venues to the reduction of waste and CO2 emissions. Acting sustainably must be low-threshold and enjoyable. That's why we want to inspire our clients, partners and innosians with clear communication and a comprehensible plan for the sustainable path. We want to convince people - regardless of where they work - to use their strengths to contribute to the sustainable transformation of the economy and society on both a small and large scale. There are no effective templates for inspiring paths. We develop individually how strengths can be used effectively - so that effects can be developed in the best possible way.
