MUNICH - The CEO of functional textile manufacturer Sympatex says the COVID-19 pandemic could teach us a valuable lesson about the need to avoid overburdening economic, social and ecological systems.
In a lengthy email, entitled Personal Thoughts of a CEO - Leadership in times of Corona, Dr Rüdiger Fox spelled out his reflections on what he feels should be learned from the coronavirus crisis.
"Whether it is global warming, the littering of the planet, social disparities or the creeping poisoning of the environment - we can no longer ignore these issues or deny their reality, because they have an immense crisis potential. We must recognise our share of them and start to take countermeasures," he wrote.
