Our team

In early 2017, Klaus Wiesen, Dr. Thorsten Merten, Christoph Wiesen, Willem Bulthuis, and Dr. Markus Werner founded sustainabill to establish climate and human rights protection in global supply chains.

Research conducted by the Wuppertal Institute is the basis of the company’s idea, one of the world’s leading think tanks for applied sustainability research. Klaus Wiesen researched at the Wuppertal Institut and provided science-based consulting to companies until sustainabill was founded.

Today, we are a growing team of technology and sustainability experts. We are united by the firm belief that the transformation to a sustainable business world cannot succeed without sustainably designed supply chains. We want to be part of the solution to enable a sustainable business world and master one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century!
