On 27-28 November I was assigned as a photographer for the SusCon 2012, the international conference on sustainable business and consumption. The event took place in Bonn, Germany, at the World Conference Center, the former german parliament. Among the keynote speakers were Auma Obama (Sauti Kuu), Pavan Sukhdev (Corporation 2020), Helmy Abouleish (Director of the Sekem Group), Marlehn Thieme (Chair of the German Council for Sustainable Development), Alain Caparros (CEO REWE Group) and Ernst-Ulrich von Weizsäcker.

Here is a small selection of pictures from the event:
