Meet Rainhard Fuchs, CCO & Co founder of Glacier, an Austrian based startup that is bringing Co2 reduction and climate action to companies and their employees.
“It’s not about being perfect, but about being better”
Can the individual action commitments that Glacier tries to inspire really move the needle? How does Rainhard and his team encourage the people they work with that their littler efforts are not in vain? In this episode you find out.
“I don’t know why but I’m a super-optimist”
Looking at the extreme weather events that have been populating the news across the globe it is refreshing to hear Rainhard’s reflections on how this actually fuels his passion for making a difference, starting conversations on what we can do to make a change.
Old habits die hard.
Ease and joy are part of Glacier’s vision to bring CO2 reduction to the people. But in the end it’s all about changing habits. Rainhard shares how he sees that and his personal experience when it comes to changing habits for the climate. Especially the ones that are hard to change.
“The planet will still be there. It’s how we choose to live in the future.”
It’s a team effort.
Together with co-founder Andreas Tschas, Rainhard has grown the team rapidly since starting out only 2 years ago.
