Last week you got to meet Stefan Dietrich of Senec. Now it is the turn of Udo Möhrstedt of IBC Solar to answer our six questions:
1. How are you personally – and as a company – coping with the corona crisis?
Most importantly and fortunately all employees including myself have remained healthy so far and we have been able to manage the situation quite well. In order to protect our employees around 240 colleagues went to work from home. At the end of May we slowly started to return to the office, of course in compliance with all necessary precautionary measures.
2. What are you enthusiastic about, apart from your company?
It’s great that the European Union is willing to cope with the climate crisis – something that can’t be denied or overlooked any longer. I hope that important decisions will be made soon in order to protect climate and nature.
3. What social media account or podcast makes your life better?
In my spare time I prefer to read daily newspapers instead of Social Media. As well the local ones I read mostly FAZ and Handelsblatt every day.
4. Whom would you like to meet/have met?
It would be great to meet Jeremy Rifkin in person. That would be an interesting conversation.
5. If you could change one thing in the world – other than the corona crisis, of course – what would it be?
I would immediately stop the fracking for gas and oil in the United States.
6. What aspect of your company’s work are you most proud of?
That IBC SOLAR exists since 1982 and that we can still do our part to grow the amount of global renewable energy. With all the ups and downs within the industry over the past decades, I am proud to see that we continue to contribute to the energy transition with our products, solar parks and projects completed worldwide. Plus every kilowatt of renewable energy that is built, is a step forward to a greener world and a move towards preventing climate change.
Next up is Peter Thiele of Sharp Energy Solutions Europe.
