HOW WE ARE ORGANIZED

Anke Schmidt, Vice President Corporate Communications & Government Relations, Beiersdorf

» Cooperation between science and practice opens up new perspectives and concrete solutions. We would therefore like to intensify this exchange on the Executive Board. In this way, we can pool knowledge and methods – a win-win situation for both sides. «
