As co-founder of WakaWaka and several other companies with sustainability at their core, I have tried to contribute to the transition that is both necessary and urgent. A transition that is no longer a mere option up for debate, but an unavoidability one if humankind will want to preserve civilisation as we have been developing it over the last millennia. The time to act is now.

It is mandatory therefore that the present leaders in society come up with measures to save the ecosystems of this planet, and by doing so save civilization. It is no less important, however, that they also give the opportunity to the new generation to contribute to this development towards a sustainable society. Students play a vital role: they are the future leaders of the world. As part of the committee of recommendation of Storm, I hope to inspire these new students in actually finding new solutions and implementing them.
