empatrust supports, advises and accompanies owner-managed companies and family businesses in shaping the future in a secure and opportunityrich way: from personnel and management development to international cooperations and recruiting across borders.

empatrust international creates international networks and long-term partnerships across industries. The focus is to bring people together, who would otherwise never meet, in order to develop new business innovatively.

Within the empatrust academy customized programs, seminars, workshops and coachings are developed and creatively implemented to make the management team and the whole team fit for the future.

empatrust recruiting is looking for qualified specialists for German companies all over Europe (e.g. from Poland, Romania or Spain) to enable healthy growth. Today there is a shortage of two million skilled workers. The gap is widening by another 400,000 vacancies every year. The German government's goal of having 400,000 apartments built seems utopian. We will also only achieve our climate targets if professionals lend a hand, for example, to renovate existing properties to make them more energy-efficient.

empatrust supports and accompanies company owners very personally, in order to actively shape their own and the company's future with strengthened confidence. And this is exactly what connects us with empatrust. Trust is the core and the basic principle of every family business - towards all stakeholders. For responsible and ecologically sustainable growth or simply "PROFITABLE GROWTH X FAIRSTAINABILITY", we are a boutique strategy consultancy for boards of directors, managing directors and supervisory boards. Our focus is thus exclusively on the development and implementation of profitable growth-oriented corporate and business strategies whose driver is fairstainability. This is in contrast to sustainability consulting, whose focus is to understand the impact of corporate actions on the environment, social issues and the company along the value chain in operational terms and to design them in accordance with the rules. The core of our growth consulting is always the two sides of future success - responsibility and sustainability. In this respect, a Strategic Fairstainable Transformation is always focused on the future success of the company.

NEW RATIONALE + empatrust means profitable growth-oriented corporate and business strategies whose driving force is Fairstainability on a personal and systemic level.

ICI's management and executive coaches open up a protected space in which board members, managing directors and top executives receive competent support at eye level and experience individual support for entrepreneurial as well as personal challenges. Coach and coachee work on central business and personal issues in a structured way. These are discussed confidentially, free from influence and conflicts of interest. In contrast to management consultancies, ICI coaches do not provide solutions, but rather initiate impulses for reflection and the development and implementation of personal solutions.

In the context of the fairness transformation, there is often a lot of uncertainty among board members and management regarding the strategic direction. In this respect, it is extremely helpful for an effective and efficient Fairstainability Transformation if, in addition to the strategic consulting and support of the top management, business and personal coaching takes place at the same time, since the path to the implementation of a Fairstainability Transformation always takes place via the mindset and the competence of the board or the management.

coaching from a single source ⎼ Rising to Initiate the Strategic Fairstainability Transformation.
