Exchange of information on all aspects of sustainability
“Uniting knowledge. Shaping the future” – is the motto under which Kann, the specialist for outdoor facilities, invited participants to this year’s Forum on 20 March 2024. Around 250 garden and landscaping builders, construction-material companies as well as garden and landscape planners took advantage of the event in City Hall in Troisdorf as an opportunity for knowledge transfer and discourse.
The topic of sustainability ran like a red thread through the event. Managing Director Frank Wollmann presented the Kann corporate strategy, beginning with the reduction of CO2 emissions, conscientious handling of raw materials leading to the promotion and use of renewable energies in production. The commitment for sustainability is documented by a report that Kann, as one of the first German-speaking companies, had examined by the independent certification expert dqs, based on the AA1000 series of standards.
Presentation of the Kann Accents concept was another focal point. With its wide variety of surfaces and special colors, Kann developed this concept especially for the interplay of architecture and its surroundings. Specialist planners and responsible persons on a local level stand to profit from this service, since it gives them the opportunity to design their projects individually with high-quality materials, and at the same time to make use of innovative solutions.
Fascinating mix of information and inspiration
The fascinating contributions of Cem Karakaya and Joey Kelly provided a look beyond the box. Based on his many years’ experience with Interpol, cyber pro Karakaya in his presentation “What does James Bond have in common with cybercriminals” warned against the increasing threat of Internet cybercrime. He likewise raised awareness of the dangers of identity theft and other criminal activities. High media competence and responsible handling of sensitive data offer protection from such dangers.
Joey Kelly, artist, manager and extreme athlete, explained how to overcome your limitations and reach your goal in his presentation “No Limits – how to I reach my goal.” His many athletic peak performances prove that perseverance and willpower lead to success.
The possibility of taking a first-hand look at the product innovations of Kann for 2024 – i.e., the Kibo, Lyana and Muro masonry block systems – aroused much interest as well. The Kann Forum, in all, offered a fascinating mix of information and inspiration for all participants.
