Interview: Felix Lücking introduces himself

What did you do before you joined corsus?

Before I (now again) started working at corsus, I studied business administration at the university of applied sciences FH Wedel. I also worked as a student trainee at corsus and for the Schöttmer Institute. Before my studies, I trained as a ski instructor.

corsus advises on sustainability. What do you associate with sustainability?

One of the first things you learn as a business economist is that companies should not live and operate on their substance. For example, machines are depreciated from their renewed acquisition costs in the future (internal cost accounting) to ensure that the substance of the company is preserved and not consumed. What is a matter of course at a business level, we have not yet understood at an economic level. For me, sustainability does not mean living and doing business from the substance, i.e. not at the expense of future generations. It also means satisfying our needs in a way that ensures the needs of future generations are met.

Is there a topic that is particularly close to your heart?

Personally, nutrition is particularly close to my heart. Not only because I like to cook and especially eat in my free time, but also because our diet has an immense impact on our health and also the health of our planet.

What are you currently working on at corsus?

At corsus, I’m working with Marius Rödder in particular on carbon footprinting. I’m looking forward to learning a lot of new things and being able to contribute my knowledge.
