BAUM sets the course for the next phase of development
Following the resignation of the three deputy chairpersons, BAUM is now focusing on the next steps.
We respect the decision of the three former deputy chairpersons and thank them for their dedication. BAUM does not comment on personal assessments of internal matters that have been made public. Confidential discussions remain confidential.
The association’s ability to function is ensured. The Executive Board is addressing the necessary interim personnel decisions and organizational steps in accordance with the bylaws. The next general meeting for voting members will take place online on November 27 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., as scheduled.
For our member companies and partners: Ongoing projects, events, and collaborations will continue as planned. The BAUM team remains available as your point of contact.
Our mission remains to effectively support companies in their sustainable transformation, to facilitate collaboration, and to develop solutions together.
We will provide updates on these decisions here and through our newsletter.
