Biontech’s friend in New York

Kathrin Jansen remembers 8 November 2020 very well. She wanted to spend some time away her adopted home of New York over the weekend. The research manager in the vaccine division of the Pfizer pharmaceutical company was taking a walk along the Hudson River with her husband when the telephone rang. It was a video call from her CEO, Albert Bourla, and he had spectacular news. The results of the study on the anti-corona vaccine that Pfizer was developing with its German partner Biontech had arrived, and they exceeded all expectations.

How can business become not only climate-neutral, but also socially responsible? This was the question the Berlin business founder Simon Böhnlein asked himself. That’s why he opened GoodBuy, the socially responsible (online) store, with Paul Berg in November 2019. Since then he has been trying to make the world a little better through caring consumption.

GoodBuy is currently looking for new retail premises – the old ones are already too small.

Shermin Langhoff has been artistic director of the Maxim Gorki Theater in Berlin since 2013. Above all, the theatre stands out for its socially critical productions. Langhoff, the only woman at the head of a major theatre in Berlin, has received numerous honours for her commitment to the arts, including the Federal Order of Merit in 2017.

Langhoff appears here next to a sculpture by Hale Tenger, who exhibited at the Gorki Theater in 2017. The Turkish artist’s installation makes reference to a series of coup d’états, terror attacks and the spiral of violence in everyday life.
