St. Veiter Trio is founding environmental advice: Sustainability implemented profitably

in St. Veit, a new hope for environmental awareness and sustainability has appeared. Three young entrepreneurs, Daniel Billy Kreuzer, Kevin Joham and Jakob Reif, have teamed up under the name PlanetWise Partners in order to support companies and private individuals on environmental advice and sustainability. Your goal? To help companies become more environmentally friendly and at the same time to remain profitable.

The three friends have found suitable office space in Hunnenbrunn Castle. While they are currently working part -time, Daniel Billy Kreuzer already brings experience from an employed relationship. "I practically went to teach at Albin Knauder," explains the 23-year-old. The examination of environmental issues began for him in childhood because his father is active in environmental management. "I experienced up close how small changes can have a big impact on companies."

sustainability as a success factor

Kevin Joham and Jakob Reif also know each other as students of economics. Both bring their specific interests into the company. While Joham emphasizes:

"For me it is important that we can represent sustainability for companies profitably,"

has intensively dealt with the topic of sustainability in hospitals and sees a lot of potential to integrate environmental issues in a management concept.

A central topic for young entrepreneurs is EMAS certification , which is not yet mandatory for companies in Austria, but is becoming increasingly important. It offers companies the opportunity to make their environmental output transparent and to stand out on the market.

decipher complex funding landscape

One of the greatest challenges with which companies are faced with is the funding system. "It's a real jungle," says Joham. Many companies lose an overview of the numerous opportunities for funding that can often change.

"If funding is exhausted or new EU guidelines occur, entrepreneurs have to cope with a lot of bureaucracy,"

he adds. This is exactly where PlanetWise partners come in: They want to support companies that want to find their way around the complex funding landscape. 

The trio agreed: "Sustainability can be profitable. With simple means we can help the environment and companies." You see yourself as a bridge that combines acute problems in environmental protection with the needs of companies and offer solutions that make both ecologically and economically useful. Your vision is not to position environmental protection as a burden, but as an opportunity for the business world.
