📌 “Quick wins” for sustainable operations (CO2, offices, employee benefits (last mile solution, perks, cafeteria))

📌 Sustainable concepts in terms of “product development”, and other sustainability approaches (e.g. ESG screening of corporate clients or approaches of Gothaer, HUK, Provinzial etc.)

📌 The roadmap to climate-neutral 2050 for capital investments and how to measure CO2 of investments

📌 Where sustainability is attached within the Provinzial company structure (Marketing & Communication (2018) vs. Risk Management (today))
