Xavier Delposen, Schuler Group

What is your role within the One Planet Living network?
I lead our Hollerich Village project in Luxembourg City, an endorsed One Planet Community, developed in partnership with public and private local stakeholders. I am also a member of the BioRegional Expert Panel.

What is your biggest success?
Our results and achievements over the last year allowed me to convince our board and team that sustainability is the right strategy and leads to corporate social responsibility, financial results, diversification, know-how and competitiveness.

What is your biggest failure?
I planned to start my own company in the renewable energy sector some years ago. Unfortunately (or fortunately if I consider that it is a chance to be part of the One Planet Living network now!) I had to stop the project for different reasons, including the uncertainty of national renewable energy policies despite the fact that energetic transition, climate change and environment protection are urgent and unnegotiable.

Who is your sustainability hero?
The Avaaz team is my sustainability hero. This team managed to gather nearly 40 million followers behind ethical or environmental cases, such as climate change.

What are you looking forward to in the next twelve months?
We are looking forward to new achievements for our Hollerich Village development. We may also announce other sustainable projects during the next months.
