April is the time for spring cleaning, looking ahead and making space for new things. One new thing this April is this newsletter, designed to keep you up to speed with developments at HZI’s sites in Germany. Other new developments include our premises in Cologne, a number of major new contracts we managed to win in March and April, and a new approach to the way HZI’s offices in Switzerland and Germany collaborate to pool our strengths in joint projects. The urge to spring clean is closely bound up with the cycles of nature. Nature is extremely busy at the moment – especially in Cologne, which on average is two weeks ahead of the rest of Germany – producing enormous amounts of new biomass, literally from thin air. Germany has an estimated nine billion trees, almost half of them deciduous. Using nothing but photosynthesis, sunlight, CO2 and water, they produce around 20 million tonnes of young, green leaves – every year. Isn’t that fascinating? As you see, lots of new things are happening at HZI. Maybe we can help make new things happen for you too?

We hope you continue to enjoy the spring. Stay tuned!

HZI in Cologne moves offices
|
|
|
|
With all the packing, organising, unpacking and restarting, the weeks around Easter were a busy time for our Cologne team. The move took place successfully on 30 March and 1 April. For capacity reasons we had to leave offices we loved – moving into new premises we may well end up loving even more. We’re currently getting used to the new infrastructure and enjoying features we’ve never had before: a separate kitchen, which means that the coffee machine will no longer disturb video conferences; a real meeting room; and a direct view of the Cologne Cathedral UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. Sometimes it simply makes sense to change because it brings so many benefits. Coronavirus permitting, we hope to be able to welcome you to Cologne some time too. In the meantime, we invite you to check out the video for a first impression. By the way, our new address has only changed marginally; instead of the Heizwerk building, we are now in building 3.
