Jan Henke and Norbert Schmitz will continue to hold a stake in the Group and provide continuity in the Group’s leadership and day-to-day operations. Norbert Schmitz remains Managing Director of the operational units. Jan Henke’s existing Managing Director responsibilities have been extended to all companies within the Sustainability at Work Group. Together with Battery Ventures, they will focus on strengthening the Group’s market position, expanding its portfolio of services and pursuing new opportunities for sustainable growth.

This development creates a strong platform for long-term growth, closer collaboration and innovation across the Group. All companies within the Sustainability at Work Group remain committed to their customers, regulators and employees.
