gGmbH at the end of 2023. He founded the predecessor in 2016 and subsequently built it up and established it successfully (more under <a title=\"History\" href=\"https:\/\/fafin.fastpress.host\/en\/about-us\/#geschichte\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">History<\/a>). He has already provided numerous impulses for a sustainable financial system and, for example, initiated the Geld-Kompass Heidelberg network together with others, organised MeetUps and a community on Conscious Fintech, made significant contributions to the transfer of the sustainable finance concept to the municipal level and was involved in the further development of the EU taxonomy and sustainability reporting standards. Markus Duscha has been a member of the Sustainable Finance Advisory Committee of the German Federal Government since 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Markus Duscha studied engineering (Dipl. Ing.) at RWTH Aachen, completed his undergraduate studies with a minor in psychology and trained in theme-centred interaction (TCI diploma). He can look back on over 30 years of political-strategic consulting and research work for sustainable development. Before founding FaFin in 2016, he worked at ifeu \u2013 Institut f\u00fcr Energie- und Umweltforschung Heidelberg gGmbH as Managing Director and was previously responsible for energy transition issues as Head of Department. He is now utilising the skills and experience he gained there for the financial transition at the Fair Finance

As a qualified financial specialist (university of applied sciences) and certified financial planner, he supports companies and individuals in the sustainable organisation of their finances. Walter Kern is also involved in the Rhine-Neckar regional group of the Economy for the Common Good movement and the Geld-Kompass Heidelberg network. He is currently working on issues such as sustainability reporting.<\/p>\n<p>The computer science graduate can look back on a long career in specialist and management positions at SAP, where he actively campaigned for the interests of employees on the works council, among other things. Walter Kern thus combines expertise in the areas of social engagement, sustainability, finance and IT in a special way, which makes him a sought-after member of committees and working groups that deal

At that time, he, who had dedicated his professional life to the energy transition up to that point, did not want to accept that many social and environmental policy measures would no longer be realisable due to the turmoil on the financial market. He recognised how important the financial system is for the necessary changes and began to look into its restructuring and potential positive leverage effect.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly afterwards, he decided to found the Fair Finance Institute. It began its work in 2016 and from the outset saw itself as an organisation that works independently of political parties to use the upheavals in the financial system to restructure it into an economically, ecologically and socially sustainable financial and monetary system. Markus Duscha&#8217;s special approach and the new thing that he brought to the sustainable finance community, which was already very lively at the time, was his extensive experience with the economic and social change processes from the energy transition, which he is now putting at the service of the financial transition.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, he has worked as a freelancer with the Fair Finance Institute, providing a wide range of impetus for a fair and sustainable financial system (more under <a title=\"Projects\" href=\"https:\/\/fafin.fastpress.host\/en\/what-we-do\/#projekte\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Projects<\/a>). Since 2020, <a title=\"Team\" href=\"https:\/\/fafin.fastpress.host\/en\/about-us\/#FaFin-Team\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Walter Kern<\/a> has been helping him with his special combination of expertise in the areas of social engagement, sustainability, finance and IT. Student employees have supported the work of the Fair Finance Institute right from the start.<\/p>\n<p>The direction was therefore clear: the Fair Finance Institute should continue to grow in order to be able to implement its own vision even more powerfully, namely to contribute to a stable monetary and financial system that naturally integrates social and ecological criteria, fulfils its social function of serving people and at the same time preserves our natural resources.<\/p>\n<p>Partly because there is no formal &#8220;not-for-profit freelance status&#8221;, this should be done on the basis of a new legal form that also reflects the Fair Finance Institute&#8217;s focus on the common good in organisational terms. And more people should be involved. In April 2023, Markus Duscha therefore asked <a title=\"Team\" href=\"https:\/\/fafin.fastpress.host\/en\/about-us\/#FaFin-Team\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gesa V\u00f6gele<\/a>, who has been committed to sustainability in the financial sector in various roles for many years, whether she would like to join Walter Kern and him in founding a not-for-profit limited liability company (gGmbH) to continue the work of the Fair Finance Institute and put it on a broader footing.<\/p>\n<p>No sooner said than done: FaFin \u2013 Fair Finance Lab gGmbH has been in existence since 21 December 2023, although it continues to use the name Fair Finance Institute established by Markus Duscha in its external communications.<\/p>\n<p>This opens a new chapter in the history of the Fair Finance Institute.<\/p>\n<p>We are happy and committed to this!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b1a710 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"2b1a710\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" id=\"kontakt\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d97b848 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d97b848\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Contact<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0bcb22a e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"0bcb22a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-14c561d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"14c561d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>FaFin \u2013 Fair Finance Lab gGmbH<\/p><p><span style=\"text-align: var(--text-align); color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">Montpellierstra\u00dfe 10<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"text-align: var(--text-align); color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">D-69115 Heidelberg<\/span><\/p><p>+49 6221 42 63 793<\/p><p><a style=\"text-align: var(--text-align); background-color: #ffffff;\" href=\"mailto:kontakt@fair-finance-institute.de\">kontakt@fair-finance-institute.de<\/a><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Heidelberg location<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Markus Duscha (<a href=\"mailto:markus.duscha@fair-finance-institute.de\">markus.duscha@fair-finance-institute.de<\/a>)<\/li><li>Walter Kern (<a href=\"mailto:walter.kern@fair-finance-institute.de\">walter.kern@fair-finance-institute.de<\/a>)<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Berlin location<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Gesa V\u00f6gele (<a href=\"mailto:gesa.voegele@fair-finance-institute.de\">gesa.voegele@fair-finance-institute.de<\/a>)<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c5c86f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"5c5c86f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6d71ab1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"6d71ab1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who we are The Fair Finance Institute (FaFin) is a not-for-profit think-and-do tank.
