As SusBDe continues to expand its international activities and project portfolio, the company is further strengthening its governance and strategic advisory capabilities.
Since 2023, SusBDe has been supported by an Advisory Board that provides independent advice and guidance to the Executive Board and Management Team on strategic development, organizational growth, innovation, and long-term continuity. The Advisory Board also serves as a valuable sounding board, contributing expertise, experience, and networks from a broad range of sectors.
Over the past years, SusBDe has evolved significantly. The company has expanded its portfolio of circular waste-to-energy and biomethane solutions while increasing its presence across Europe and Asia. This growth requires a more active and engaged advisory structure to support the next phase of development and way of working.
As part of this transition, SusBDe is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Bert Jägel as Chairman of the Advisory Board.
In addition to our current members, discussions with several highly qualified candidates are at an advanced stage. The renewed Advisory Board will bring together complementary expertise in industry, finance, governance, sustainability, international business development, and public affairs.
By further strengthening its Advisory Board, SusBDe aims to broaden its strategic knowledge base, deepen stakeholder engagement, and reinforce the company's long-term mission of delivering scalable circular infrastructure and renewable energy solutions worldwide.
Further announcements regarding additional Advisory Board members will follow in the coming months.
