Her recent successes of the sustainability expert
She graduated in 2019 with a Bachelor of Arts (B. A.) in Tourism, Hotel and Event Management with "Best Degree, Best Thesis" awards. After almost 30 years of professional experience - in various companies, positions and areas of responsibility - she realised a personal desire with this degree, adding another building block to her passion of lifelong, life-wide and life-deep learning.
In doing so, she devoted herself in particular to the topic of how the transformation to sustainability can be successfully implemented in companies. In her bachelor's thesis entitled: "Employee events as a supporting measure for raising awareness of the topic of corporate social responsibility - a modular event concept for companies", she was able to develop key findings in this regard.
As co-editor of the book "CSR in Hessen", which was published by Springer Gabler Verlag in the management series Corporate Social Responsibility by Prof. Dr. René Schmidpeter in November 2021, she and her colleague and many great authors also show how the transformation to sustainability can succeed with a total of 52 best practice examples from education, society and business.

Sabine Böhling - Expert for Sustainable Development Goals SDG's on the Sustainability Rider
As an expert on Sustainable Development Goals SDGs, Sabine Böhling is also a passionate SDG ambassador. Due to her favourite SDG No. 4, "Quality Education", she also likes to share her knowledge in many different ways. Thus, she is involved in a wide variety of projects to spread the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals, 17 goals for sustainable development of the United Nations). She also tries to show as many people as possible the purpose of a sustainable future and to give them first immediate measures for their individual start.
The SDGs are an excellent frame of reference for this goal. After working with the "Sustainability Rider" (the guide for sustainable events by artist relations manager and talent buyer Stefan Lohmann / Sustainable Event Solutions) for a few years herself and also recommending it to students in her lectures in workshops on planning sustainable events, she came up with an idea.
She checked the Rider to see to what extent the individual fields of action contribute to the 17 SDGs. The result is impressive and shows the great potential and possibilities that the event industry already has today on the way to a sustainable, climate-neutral future.
Their motto: Every contribution counts! - We all just have to start right away!
