“Maßstab Mensch,” Episode 4: This time, Caspar Schmitz-Morkramer speaks with Dr. Christine Lemaitre, CEO Executive Director of the DGNB (German Sustainable Building Council). On March 11, the two met in Cannes during the MIPIM real estate fair—complete with background noise from the hotel lobby!
Lemaitre has been leading the DGNB since 2010—an organization that has since grown into Europe’s largest network for sustainable construction. Through its certifications, it has established one of the most important global sustainability standards in the construction industry. Which issues are particularly close to Christine Lemaitre’s heart? Why do DGNB certifications involve so much effort? Apart from these questions, the conversation kept circling back to one point: the vulnerability of the sustainability issue to certain interests—whether economic or attention-seeking, political or lobbying.
We hope you enjoy listening!
