Helmut Geltner becomes ambassador of the PLUS X AWARD for sustainability.
Sustainability is a decisive aspect of the future viability of brands and companies. It requires a sustainable corporate policy and careful treatment of resources in order to preserve our planet in a way fit for our grandchildren. The PLUS X AWARD for sustainability recognises brands that have taken this to heart and put sustainability into practice in workable, innovative concepts. Only by acting responsibly towards our planet and future generations can we meet the challenges of our time and drive forward sustainable business that has a future.
In order to meet these requirements and integrate the idea of sustainability effectively into corporate policies, we need people who understand how to combine protection of our planet with customers' needs in future-proof concepts. The PLUS X AWARD for sustainability is therefore now supported by Helmut Geltner in the role of ambassador for sustainability.
Helmut Geltner, “Manager of the decade” (PLUS X AWARD 2011), is one of the industry's leading figures and possesses enormous expertise in management consultancy. In his earlier position as managing director of DeLonghi Germany, Geltner already made clear that he understands how to meet customers' interests with future-proof concepts. With his own consulting firm “GELTNER Management Consulting” too, he demonstrates his experience, foresight and competence. It is therefore a great pleasure for the PLUS X AWARD that this leading entrepreneur will support the PLUS X AWARD for sustainability in his role as ambassador.
“I am very much looking forward to the role of ambassador for sustainability. As a manager I see my particular role in linking the subject of sustainability with economic viability and genuine innovation. In this way I want to show companies that efforts and investments in this field always pay off – with a view to the future viability of the companies and of our planet.” – Helmut Geltner
“It fills me with pride that on a subject as important as sustainability we have gained the support of a highly respected industry figure such as Helmut Geltner. In leading positions in industry, Mr Geltner has accompanied the PLUS X AWARD from the very first hour, which makes me all the more pleased now to take the path towards a more sustainable economy in direct cooperation with one of the top managers.” – Donat Brandt, President of the PLUS X AWARD
