StreitJohannes v. Streit started his career at a conventional bank\, where he pursued a vocational training programme. He soon realized that he did not fit in\, so he started studying sustainable Management at Technical University Berlin. Today he works as a consultant at GLS Bank\, where he helps customers finding their matching ecological investment. \nAbout GLS Bank: The GLS Bank was the first social and ecological bank in Germany. GLS stands for "Gemeinschaftsbank für Leihen und Schenken"\, which translates as "community bank for loans and gifts". The bank was founded in 1974 and it currently finances around 23\,000 projects and businesses. The Bank focuses on cultural\, social and ecological projects which try to tackle challenges in our society by developing creative solutions. Loans are offered to projects like independent schools and kindergartens\, organic farms\, institutions using therapeutic pedagogy\, nursing homes\, projects for the unemployed\, health-food stores and communal living projects\, as well as sustainable businesses. Transparency is one of the main objectives of the GLS: details of all initiatives and companies that receive loans are published in its magazine "Bankspiegel"\, together with information on the development of the bank itself. \nOrganization website: http://www.gls.deManuel EhlersManuel Ehlers studied engineering and business administration at TU Berlin\, ETH Zürich and Bauhaus-Unversität Weimar. He started as a real estate developer for sustainable real estate - mainly office buildings and has worked for several development companies.
