Interview – at the intersection of research and consulting
Corporate, Life Cycle Assessment, TeamSince the beginning of 2022, Nico Mumm and Julian Quandt have been doing their doctorates in the BioVal research project at Bochum University of Applied Sciences in parallel to their work at corsus. The aim of the project is to identify and reduce the negative effects of food production and consumption on biodiversity and ultimately to transform them into positive effects - a topic that corsus has also been working on for a long time.
