Main Stage

10:00-10:20

In the grand opening ceremony of the Greentech Festival 2023, we will launch discussions off with positivity, a few celebrity surprises and deep insights into the future of sustainable business. To build a better world we need brave voices calling for change and leaders willing to take risks in order to build incredible visions. ‘Business as usual’ is dead and in our new world, sustainability has become synonymous with success and the market, customers and investors will reward those who stand behind inclusive, sustainable and ethical values. How do we start this journey today, how to we measure success and how do we communicate the small and big wins along the way. Let’s start the conversation, unafraid and open to great possibilities.

Opening Panel – Mission Net Zero: 1.5° – Counting the true costs of action and inaction

Thursday 15.06

Main Stage

10:30-11:00

Despite goodwill and big promises, we are continuing to march towards a climate catastrophe and the window for staying below 1.5° temperature rise is closing fast. But what does this actually mean? What kinds of sacrifices/investments would be required from individuals, from businesses, and from government in order to stay within this limit? More importantly, what kinds of costs and uncertainties can we expect if we treat 1.5° as a soft target and slide into uncontrolled climate chaos? Come and join leaders from science, politics and business as they discuss where we should focus our attention in a time where hard decisions will be the norm.

Debate: Will new tech and AI save us before it’s too late?

Thursday 15.06

Main Stage

11:10-11:40

New Tech and AI offer incredible promise in making our lives easier, but what about their application to solve humanity’s biggest challenges like climate change? Could new AI, sensor systems or new hardware offer breakthrough approaches and insights that were previously not possible? Perhaps more important than the technologies we create and choose is their sensible application: applying the right tools to the right problems. Answer these questions and more, when we debate the role of technology in turning back the clock on climate change.

Keynote: Achieving zero-loss water circularity in complex production environments

Thursday 15.06

Main Stage

11:50-12:00

L’Oréal for the Future” sustainability program, the world leader in beauty has defined a set of clear, measurable and science-based targets to, among others, reduce its impact on climate, biodiversity, natural resources and one of the world’s most precious resources: water. L’Oréal’s goal is that 100% of the water used in its industrial processes will be recycled and reused in a loop by 2030. Five of L’Oréal’s 38 factories are fully aligned with this objective, and working towards this ambitious goal, several others have started the journey. L’Oréal’s Corporate Environment Director Benoit Mocquant and Alessandro Medolago, CEO of environmental tech company PieCo, will talk about water stewardship in operations, benefits, challenges as well as prospects of water circularity.

Music’s New Groove: Cleaning up the industry and creating a global movement

Thursday 15.06

Main Stage

12:00-12:15

Es war das kleine schmutzige Geheimnis der Branche, aber seit der Corona-Krise ist ein neues Bewusstsein für die Umweltauswirkungen von Tourneen und Live-Musikshows entstanden. Immer mehr Künstler springen auf den Zug auf und weigern sich, auf Tour zu gehen, wenn ihre Nachhaltigkeitsanforderungen nicht erfüllt sind. Was treibt diese neue Bewegung an und was ist zu beachten, wenn wir nachhaltig touren und auftreten wollen? Und wie können Künstler diese neu gewonnene Glaubwürdigkeit nutzen, um einen tiefgreifenden Wandel in der Musikindustrie herbeizuführen und, was noch wichtiger ist, um das Verhalten ihres weltweiten Publikums zu erreichen und zu verändern?

Does sustainability mean sacrifice: Green transformation in war and peace

Thursday 15.06

Main Stage

12:30-13:00

A year out from the beginning of gruesome war in Ukraine, and the industry landscape in Europe has changed dramatically. Decarbonisation, sustainability, energy efficiency: words that for too long lay dormant in corporate vision statements have quickly become core business and for many companies, a matter of life and death. That Europe must transform to net-zero economies is unquestionable, but does this transformation need to mean financial suffering and sacrifice? Whether you’re part of a startup or a global corporate or everything in between, come and join the debate as we discuss transformation at scale.

Sustainable Marketing: Time to talk about the real costs of advertising

Thursday 15.06

Main Stage

14:00-14:30

Has marketing become too easy? Online, it takes 20 minutes to set up a massive global campaign targeting your audience down to the finest detail. Yet once those algorithms start to work, an often uncounted toll is exacted on our climate. In all our talk of KPIs, ROIs and impact, is it time we start addressing the climate costs of our advertising choices? So, what holistic metrics should we be using to define sustainable marketing, and what should be done to maximise our reach but minimise our environmental impacts?

Thriving in a sustainability revolution: How tech and trust can dance together

Thursday 15.06

Main Stage

14:50-15:20

We are in the middle of a sustainability revolution, and from hi-tech to car tyres companies are scrambling to realign product, brand and employee image around sustainable principals. Technology, sensor systems and IoT have incredible roles to play in creating the kinds of transparency and immediate feedback that will attract customers, investors and the best employees. But technology alone is never enough, and for lasting change we need to talk about trust and culture. Where do we start, how do we measure progress and what does success feel like in a technology-driven sustainability revolution?

Feeding the World: Will Foodtech save us?

Thursday 15.06

Main Stage

15:30-16:00

It’s the perfect storm: growing populations, accelerating meat consumption, over-farming and land degradation and all this in a world where food production already represents 20% of the global GHG emission. Is Foodtech the answer? Its has certainly captured the attention of the media and investors, but can it really deliver the complex dietary needs of our global community. In this panel, leading experts will discuss what Food Tech can and can’t do in reshaping the way we eat, grow and produce food on a climate affected planet.

Healthy Planet-Healthy People: The underestimated power of nature-based solutions

Thursday 15.06

Main Stage

16:50-17:20

Every technological innovation that benefits planetary health is important for preserving a future worth living. But sometimes we can’t see the forest for the trees. When Elon Musk once tweeted, “100 million for an invention that can sequester C02,” someone wrote back, “Are trees allowed to apply too?” In this session, the Medical Doctor, TV Celebrity and Founder of the Healthy-Planet-Healthy People Foundation (Stiftung Gesunde Erde-Gesunde Menschen) Dr Eckart v. Hirschhausen will be joined by one of the leading experts on circular economy and nature-based solutions. They will explore the connection and potential of new green technology and the oldest circular economy: mother nature herself.

For Meta or worse: Sustainability in AI, VR and the token economy

Thursday 15.06

Deepdive Stage

10:30-11:15

Digital universe is growing and complexifying. ChatGTP and its many competitors are taking the world by storm, Zuckerberg sees the metaverse to be as a bigger opportunity than the internet, and it seems that anybody from 12-year-olds to retirees can get rich quick off the back of NFTs. However, the computing power driving these complex systems comes at a huge cost to our climate. Alternatively, VR could make travel for meetings obsolete, AI may bring about efficiencies and breakthroughs never thought possible and NFTs could help us track and validate carbon credits more securely. Join us as we discuss the costs and benefits of the new virtual universe that’s exploding before our eyes.

Supply-chain, circularity, and net-zero industries

Thursday 15.06

Deepdive Stage

11:15-12:00

Systems and cycles in nature offer a perfect example for better practices and processes for humans: Natural balance of the intake and outtake of energy in a system, the replacement or regeneration of resources, positive feedback loops that support integrity and stability. How can we produce such systems in our transport, freight and production networks? What benefits come from responsible and regenerative sourcing? And, how can we re-engineer our and earth’s systems to repair the damage we’ve done.

Mobility, energy and green urban living

Thursday 15.06

Deepdive Stage

12:00-12:45

While in modern cities, elevators whisk you down at 10 levels per second, the solid lines of cars at the exit pass you by at a crawl. Collaborative sharing networks, crowd-sourced planning, and electromobility seem to hold the answer to many of the challenges of modern congested living. However, how much of this is a new wave of hype, and are we investing time and efforts where it will deliver the greatest returns?

Thursday 15.06

Deepdive Stage

14:00-14:45

We are literally eating our planet, and as our population approaches 10 billion by 2050, a complete rethink is needed about what it means to eat, live and grow sustainably.

14:45-15:30

To bring ourselves back from the brink of catastrophe, we are going to need to repair much of the damage that has already been done to earth’s systems.

Hydrogen vehicles for green cities – tomorrow’s mobility today

Thursday 15.06

Deepdive Stage

15:30-16:15

Hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) are an important technology with a lot to offer, and not just in the heavy-duty vehicle sector. The rapid refueling and long range of FCEVs make them strong solutions for green cities, especially in the context of efficient fleet management for passenger vehicles. One of the many examples already demonstrating the benefits of hydrogen in cities is H2 Moves Berlin, Germany’s largest fleet of hydrogen passenger vehicles. This panel will discuss the rationale behind the project and the broader ecosystem for further deployment of this important technology as part of the energy transition.

Town Hall Debate: Is offsetting doing more harm than good?

Thursday 15.06

Deepdive Stage

16:15-17:00

We had a nice run. We all wanted to believe that the offsetting could be trusted, that cheap carbon-neutral flights across the globe could be a real thing. Then the Guardian/Die Zeit came out with their shocking report into Verra, the world’s largest carbon certification program, claiming that 90% of their commonly used rainforest credits were practically useless. Verra was quick to defend itself and other players in the industry distanced themselves and claimed that their credits were different. So, is offsetting a helpful part of the journey to decarbonisation, or are we just making ourselves feel better while distroy the planet.

Net-zero construction: circular construction, urban mining and new materials

Thursday 15.06

Deepdive Stage

17:00-17:45

Few industries are in need of rapid net-zero transformation, as the building and construction sector. Too often, high-value materials are built to be used once, are not optimised for efficient use and are sourced from unethical/non-renewable supply chains. Despite this, many new technologies and innovative processes offer incredible potential to make building a creative, value-generating endeavour. Let’s explore how novelle approaches like urban mining, new materials and the latest technology can combine to build a better tomorrow.

16:00-17:00

Climate is a topic that is on almost every company’s agenda. While climate change is one of the biggest challenge we are facing, it is not a stand-alone crisis that can be solved on its own. It is closely interlinked with the biodiversity crisis and loss of nature. Together they have a profound impact on our collective wellbeing as more than 50% of our global GDP is dependent on nature. That is why more and more companies are going beyond net zero to become nature positive. But what does nature positive actually mean? How can I contribute to a nature positive environment? How do I integrate these actions with my net zero targets? And what role do Nature-based Solutions play? We will answer these and many more questions in our solution stage session.

We are talking to specialists from various fields who are already actively closing loops and saving resources – Resource Savers, if you will. Is it an incredibly exciting thing? Or is it all just logical? So many people talk about it – but we need to take action. We want to hear from the specialists about how the process of taking action is going. And perhaps it will help some of the listeners to take their first steps as well.

Green heat transition: The heat is on for climate-neutral solutions

Thursday 15.06

Urban Sustainability Stage

12:00-12:30

There is no energy transition without a green heat transition. With the green heating transition, emissions from the heating market can be reduced and thus a contribution can be made to achieving climate protection goals. How can such a green heating transition be successfully implemented in existing buildings, in industry and in the energy supply? We will discuss this in our panel.

Together for a plastic-free future

Thursday 15.06

Urban Sustainability Stage

13:00-13:30

“Around 11 million tons of plastic end up in the world’s oceans every year.”

“Marine plastic pollution alone has increased tenfold since 1980.”

These facts make it unmistakably clear: Our oceans are drowning in plastic waste. With water at the core of its business, it is a matter of course for the sanitary and kitchen brand GROHE to care for every drop of this precious resource and commit to providing clean water worldwide. But making a difference is only possible with strong partnerships. Since 2019, GROHE has been joining forces with everwave, a social business that uses innovative waste collection boats and high-tech solutions to clean rivers of plastic waste and thus protect the ocean. Together, the partners are working to compensate for the consequences of plastic consumption in the past. Collaboration is also a driver for change when it comes to the cooperation between GROHE and Füchse Berlin handball team, where the focus is on plastic avoidance in the future.

The talk will provide insights into how the collaboration of different stakeholders can work at eye level and drive positive sustainable impact.

Urban Sustainability

Thursday 15.06

Urban Sustainability Stage

15:00-15:30

Today, every second person lives in a city. The influx of people continues unabated. In order for us to live well in the future, we need affordable housing and a sustainable and integrated climate and urban development policy.

Although life in cities can be made more efficient than in rural areas, cities currently consume up to 75 percent of the world’s energy production. At the same time, they generate around 80 percent of the global gross domestic product. Consequently, they are responsible for up to 80 percent of humanity’s energy-related carbon dioxide emissions. The future of cities will be crucial for environmentally sound development and combating climate change.

With experts, we discuss what has been achieved in cities and municipalities, as well as the trends and challenges they face and how to address them.

Fueling the Future: E-Fuels – A Promising Solution or a Slippery Slope?

Thursday 15.06

Urban Sustainability Stage

16:30-17:00

Are e-fules a silver bullet that can ease our transition to a carbon-neutral economy? They seem to offer the tantilising option of decarbonisation without the disruptive system change that will be required if we ‘electrify everything’. However, can this technology really be realised at scale or is it just a delaying tactic that will allow fossil fuels to remain in action years after their usedby date? Join the debate and let’s map out a path for the place of e-fuels in our sustainable future.

Inclusive climate action from pole to pole

Friday 16.06

Main Stage

10:05-10:30

One the biggest barriers to success in the fight against climate change is lack of unity on a global level. Too often, decisions are made that lack input from those communities most vulnerable to climate effects meaning that the solutions lack buy-in and credibility for communities on the ground and miss out on the creativity and diversity that comes from inclusion. However, collaboration isn’t easy and compromise will be required to balance the needs of diverse actors from communities, government, business and not-for-profits. In charting a path forward, what is already working that should be kept, where do we need new approaches and what steps will we all need to transition to a truly unified global community.

The Circular Economy in Practice

Friday 16.06

11:40-12:10

There’s a lot of talk of moving towards circular business models, yet in terms of true circularity, most of these projects remain purely theoretical. If achieved the benefits are multiple: decreased material and transport costs, lower energy consumption, less emissions and a competitive advantage on the market. What examples exist on the market of companies who have truly ‘gone circular’? What can we learn from them, how should we get started?

Closing Panel: Letzte Generation: Beschleunigen oder bremsen sie den notwendigen ökologischen Wandel?

Friday 16.06

Main Stage

12:20-13:00

Die ökologische Transformation erfordert einen Umbruch in der Gesellschaft, Wirtschaft und Politik. Wie schnell kann eine Bewegung sein, damit eine Mehrheit zustande kommt und wie schnell muss eine Bewegung sein, um dem Ziel wirklich näher zu kommen? Wie weit können Proteste gehen damit sie trotz Ordnungswidrigkeiten und Straftaten gesellschaftlich legitim sind und welches Demokratieverständnis liegt dem zugrunde? Ist das moralische Bestreben der Aktivist:innen höher zu bewerten als die Gesetze des Staates? Deutschland kennt diese grundsätzliche Fragestellung. Vor allem in den 1970er und 1980er Jahren hatte die außerparlamentarische Opposition eine vergleichbare Argumentation: Höhere Moral schlägt aktuelles Recht. Das Net Zero Ziel ist gesetzlich verankert. Doch wie erreichen wir dieses Ziel?
