Carbon Challenge Campaign
Your contact for the concept of the campaign, the modules and partners:
Dr. Olivier Lefebvre, Supervisory Board Chairman
„To cool the world we have to inspire its leaders“
Jacqueline Sasse, Commercial Director
"The values of Carbon Challenge go way beyond the traditional model. It feels very good to be part of a strong project and to be able to take action and do something for the future of our precious planet. Not only as a businesswoman but also as a mother."
Gavin Brown, Brand Manager
"The global warming emergency is causing a lot of people to reconsider their values and expectations. I’m looking forward to seeing how people perceive and define ‘winning’ in sport or ‘doing well’ in business in future.
Carbon Challenge ‚Boathouse’
Your contact for the architecture and sustainable design of the boathouse:
Bill Bouldin, Project Manager
"Building is globally one of the most critical areas for carbon emissions reduction, so every effort is going into the Boathouse to make it exemplary. But what is also important that it is an integrated team effort - designers, engineers, industrial partners, the Carbon Challenge team, and visitors - who will all make a difference by working together to fight climate change."
David Lewis, ARUP
"Sustainable development is a critical issue that needs to be engaged by all through this period of rapid environmental change. The Carbon Challenge Boathouse exemplifies a net carbon neutral development without compromising comfort or functionality within an array of environments. It stands to be an inspirational example to our global corporate leaders."
Christian Kornevall, Project Director Energy Efficiency in Buildings (EEB),
a project of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD)
"Buildings are one of the five “megatrends” identified by the WBCSD that need transformation to stabilize carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere. Design approaches, materials and technology are available now to make buildings much more energy efficient."
Andrew Phillips, Director, David Chipperfield Architects
"The boathouse aims to be an exemplary sustainable building, a beautiful place to work and study in which also has a minimal carbon footprint. The project will provide a first hand demonstration to all visitors that strong leadership combined with effective teamwork can produce inspirational results."
Carbon Challenge Academy
To talk to about programs of the Academy, knowledge transfer in sustainable management:

François Collin Executive Director CEMS
“As a global alliance of business schools and companies, CEMS has a major role to play to promote new values and management practices among business students and executives. We are proud to be the international education platform supporting Carbone Challenge”.
Dr. Markus Kosuch, Academy Coach
„In der doppelten Herausforderung - wirtschaftlicher und ökologischer Erfolg - entsteht in der Carbon Challenge Academy die Faszination für neue Lösungen, neue Partnerschaften und für Innovation."
Carbon Management
Your contact for strategy, organisation, assessment, footprint and life cycle analysis:
Dr. Thomas Scheiwiller, Global Sustainability Leader, PricewaterhouseCoopers
"Today’s companies are aiming for a AAA rating. In the future companies will go for a a CCC - Carbon Challenge Champion rating."
Jürg Hutter, Senior Manager Sustainability Solutions and Climate Change Services, PricewaterhouseCoopers
"The Carbon Challenge only can be won with a strong team spirit, with the combination of various technical and social skills as well as bringing together different cultures. Climate change challenges our values, our way of doing our business and how we deal with our environment we are living in. Providing solutions and inspiration to people who can make a difference in a carbon restrained world is like going for the Volvo Ocean Race trophy."
Carbon Offsetting
Your contact for carbon offsetting:
Alain Schilli, Managing Partner myclimate - the Climate Protection Partnership
"Climate change fundamentally challenges our behaviour as individuals and corporations. Carbon management is resource management focussing on energy, water and materials. Lastly, it’s a focus on using money to finance and preserve prosperity."
Carbon Challenge Sailing

Tom Weaver Carbon Challenge Campaign Manager
„Being a sailor it is only natural that you care about the environment. It is also natural that you care about the planet your kids will have to deal with in the future. We are therefore proud to contribute to a project we believe is able to make a difference.“
