Founded more than 40 years ago, the Oeko-Institut is one of Europe’s leading independent research and consultancy organisations working for a sustainable future. In recent years, the Institute has taken on contracts to provide policy advice and conduct application-oriented research – with growing success. Our consultancy services for policy-makers and the business sector in the fields of environmental protection, climate change mitigation and sustainable development will henceforth be clustered under our newly established subsidiary, Oeko-Institut Consult GmbH. Its launch will also strengthen the Oeko-Institut’s international project activities, which will be expanded further via Oeko-Institut Consult GmbH. The non-profit association, Oeko-Institut e.V., will focus on the research projects in our portfolio.
Oeko-Institut Consult GmbH is a wholly owned subsidiary of Oeko-Institut e.V. Christof Timpe, previously the association’s Chief Executive Officer, is the new company’s CEO. Anke Herold takes over as the association’s Chief Executive Officer.
“Our organisational model is expanding but our mission remains the same,” says Anke Herold, CEO of Oeko-Institut e.V. “We apply our scientific expertise to safeguard the foundations on which all human life depends, for present and future generations, and initiate and shape the necessary transformations in politics and society, with a focus on solutions.”
