Evonik-Magazine 1/2014 EvonikSEIZING OPPORTUNITIES EARLIER Magazine1 | 2014 The Secret of the Entrepreneurial Spirit Is it in the genes? What does it take to successfully found a startup? And why the answers matter to us all 01_Evonik_01_14_EN 1 21.03.14 11:30 EDITORIAL 3 www.evonik.com A Vibrant Entrepreneurial Spirit The dynamism of entrepreneurship is essential for the development of the economy and society. The stronger it is, the more effectively we can shape the future Dear readers, This issue of Evonik Magazine is devoted to the entrepreneurial spirit. What does it consist of, where is it especially prevalent, and, above all, do we have enough of it—especially in Germany? No entrepreneur is like any other. Each one has his or her own unmistakable history that is based on a personal idea. Successful entrepreneurs don’t wait for the “ideal” conditions before acting. That’s because the time is always right for good ideas. PHOTOGRAPHY: ANDREAS POHLMANN PHOTOGRAPHY: A company also needs the entrepreneurial spirit in order to continue Dr. Klaus Engel, developing. Just as our Evonik Group of today arose from the entrepreneur- CEO of Evonik Industries AG ial spirit of its founders, in the future we will be judged according to wheth- er we succeed in developing this spirit. We must always be entrepreneurs. Whether we’re developing new business areas, establishing production facilities all over the world or aligning our research with the challenges of the future—we are always successful when we behave like founders who are firmly convinced of an idea and determined to use it to get things moving. Throughout history, states and regions have developed into incubators of entrepreneurship. Ancient Rome and Victorian London are good examples. Today many people make pilgrimages to Silicon Valley in order to draw inspiration from its uninterrupted run of innovative power. Evonik too has developed in such a region: the Ruhr Valley in Germany. This economic powerhouse has given birth to major personalities in the world of entrepreneurship and generated great prosperity. If you’ve already seen all of Berlin’s In order to draw strength for the future from this illustrious past, approx- landmarks, then why not listen to imately 70 leading companies have joined together to form the Initiativkreis one?

That’s because in addition to the many successes of the Ruhr region to date, there is still something we need more of: the self-confident elan of company founders, which generates a dynamism that inspires others.

In an era when ladies were breathlessly constrained in tightly laced corsets, Chanel focused on natural and, above all, wearable elegance. Her favorite material was jersey—a fabric that had previously been reserved for men’s un- derwear. Chanel’s fantasy, her stubborn- ness, and her staying power all helped to make her creations world-famous. In 1910, when she was 27 years old, she opened her first boutique in the Rue Cambon in Paris. In 1914 she established her first fashion house in Biarritz. In the early 1930s her haute couture house in Paris occupied five buildings and employed about 4,000 men and women. This fashion icon has estab- lished a place for herself in our collective memory thanks to her string of pearls, her cigarette, and her eloquence: “I regret nothing in my life—except the things I haven’t done.” PHOTOGRAPHY: MARK SHAW/MPTV/INTERTOPICS PHOTOGRAPHY: Evonik Magazine 1 | 2014 Evonik Magazine 1 | 2014 04_Evonik_01_14_EN 4 21.03.14 09:25 05_Evonik_01_14_EN 5 21.03.14 09:25 6 CONTENTS CONTENTS 7 EDITORIAL LEGENDS 3 A Vibrant Entrepreneurial Spirit 38 A Brief History of a Large Klaus Engel on the dynamism of entrepreneurship Entrepreneurial Family and its significance for Evonik Industries The Goldschmidt company was one of the oldest and most important family-owned companies in the chemical sector.

  • Executive Summary – TOP 100 in European Transport and Logistics
    DVV Media Group Martin Schwemmer 2019 2020 Editor: Alexander Pflaum A study by Fraunhofer Center for Applied Research on Supply Chain Services SCS Introduction and Acknowledgements We are in our 25th year of TOP100 studies. Since logistics is not really tangible from offi- cial statistics this study series was designed in 1995 at Fraunhofer SCS to fill this gap. Even if logistics market assessments are carried out now this long time, our interest and curiosity about what the future will bring for logistics is undiminished. And it is more exciting than ever to analyze logistics. The European logistics sector has reached a size of € 1,120 bn. for the total expenditure on logistics activities carried out in 2018. And even if the transported quantities flowing through the logistics systems increased only moderately the logistics sector could grow by 3.7 percent in 2018 for the whole of Europe because shipments are still increasing because ever lighter parcels flowing through the logistics networks. Even with hardly higher ton- nages in the overall system, lucrative growth for logistics can result, as the supply chains extend more and more to the end customers, resulting in more filigree flows of goods that are more complex to deliver. This development now meets the reality called driver shortage and digitization. If you like to find out more about this, then this issue of TOP100 is for you. Thus, this study is aimed at logistics service providers as well as logistics units in industry and trade, and also at shippers. The TOP100 is also aimed at suppliers of logistics, consult- ing, politics and business journalists.

Juni 2017 Manufactum schließt sich der Initiative „Cotton made in Africa“ an Manufactum bietet erstmals Baumwollkleidung mit der „Cotton made in Africa“-Auszeichnung an und unterstützt so den ressourcenschonenden Baumwollanbau sowie die Verbesserung der Arbeits-und Lebensbedingungen von Kleinbauern und Fabrikarbeitern in Afrika. Die Initiative „Cotton made in Africa“ (CmiA) setzt sich seit ihrer Gründung 2005 für den Schutz der Umwelt sowie für bessere Lebens- und Arbeitsbedingungen für über eine halbe Million Kleinbauern und Fabrikarbeiter in Afrika ein, die am Anfang der Modeindustrie stehen. Mittlerweile ist CmiA das weltweit führende Label für nachhaltig produzierte Baumwolle in Afrika. Auch das Warenhaus der guten Dinge hat sich nun dieser Initiative angeschlossen. „Wir freuen uns, mit Manufactum einen zuverlässigen Partner gewonnen zu haben. Durch ihre Partnerschaft tragen sie dazu bei, den Baumwollbauern und Fabrikarbeitern in Afrika sowie der Umwelt ein Lächeln zu schenken“, so Tina Stridde, Geschäftsführerin der Aid by Trade Foundation, Trägerorganisation von Cotton made in Africa. Zum Start der Kooperation gibt es zwei Unisex-Modelle: Ein T-Shirt in gerader Passform sowie eine klassische Kapuzenjacke. Beide Artikel sind in den Farben Oliv und Blaugrün erhältlich und werden zu 100% aus Baumwolle gefertigt. Die Produkte sind seit Mai in den Warenhäusern und im Onlineshop von Manufactum erhältlich. Weitere Produkte in Kooperation mit CmiA sind in Planung. Angele Zettner, Leiterin der Produkt- und Sortimentsentwicklung bei Manufactum, freut sich über die Zusammenarbeit: „Wir setzen uns für vielfältige Lösungen zur Bewältigung komplexer Problematiken ein. „Cotton made in Africa“ ist eine davon und für uns ein weiterer, wichtiger Baustein auf dem Weg zu mehr Nachhaltigkeit im Textilbereich.“ Das Prinzip funktioniert so: Große Textilunternehmen erwerben die CmiA-Baumwolle und das dazugehörige Siegel als Lizenznehmer.

  • Preview: Protiviti's View on Emerging Risks
    PreView Protiviti’s View on Emerging Risks Volume 2, Issue 2 Foreword As organizations continue to evolve their risk governance practices, focused and relevant information about emerging risks is at a premium. The objective of Protiviti’s PreView newsletter is to provide an input for these efforts as companies focus on risks that are developing in the market. In this issue, we expand on some of the megatrends we touched on in our previous issue to help organizations anticipate their potential ramifications. This issue’s topics focus on emerging economies and global interdependency, urbanization trends, demographic shifts and their ramifications, artificial intelligence as a game changer in business and technology, and startups, no longer confined to the well-known hubs. As you review this issue, we encourage you to think about your organization and ask probing questions: How will changing demographics affect our business model? Will new technology or worker migration reshape our future workforce? Should we pursue opportunities now, or wait for more certainty? The answers will differ significantly from industry to industry. And even though the next move on the strategic board may not be readily apparent, businesses should pay attention as these shifts will continue to influence the decisions of policymakers, competitors and consumers. Our framework for evaluation of these risks is rooted in the global risk categories designed by the World Economic Forum. Throughout this series, we will continue to use these categories as a framework for classifying macro-level topics and the challenges they present. In closing, we are very interested in your feedback. We plan to continue the conversation on emerging risks on our blog, “The Protiviti View” (blog.protiviti.com), and on our microsite (www.protiviti.com/emergingrisks).
