Dr. Saša Bavec
Director and co-founder of Living With a Green Heart Foundadtion
Dr. Saša Bavec joined Knauf Group in 2009 and served as General Manager of Original Equipment Manufacturer Europe and Commonwealth of Independent States and later as Managing Director of Original Equipment Manufacturer Business. For the last five years Saša is member of Knauf Insulation Executive Committee, Group Marketing Director and Managing Director of Systems Division.
The key areas of his focus are innovation, customer centricity, corporate culture and sustainability. The one thing that is common to all these areas is that one cannot make them happen just by putting KPIs, processes, money and other resources in place, but first the hearts and minds of the employees should be won. Saša believes people cannot be pushed and forced to give their creativity and smartness every morning when they come to work. It is their decision and they are ready to give “themselves at their best” to the company only when they feel well.

Topic of lecture and discussion among members:
LWGH SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY STANDARD
The new era of certification & its Why
The efforts of organizations to implement social sustainability in their business operations remain frequently unfulfilled due to the vagueness of the social aspect of Sustainability, the differences in priorities of their stakeholders, and the lack of a proper and consistent understanding of this topic. Additionally, organizations often lack the knowledge and experience associated with the social sustainability integration process. Therefore, outcome-oriented measures are needed to move business agendas in a positive direction.
To this end, LWGH presents the social sustainability standard Living with a Green Heart. It’s a collection of scientific findings, best practices, and guidance for organizations that are committed to social sustainability, and are ready to put human beings and their well-being at the center of everything they do. Through this certification-guided process organizations can discover how much they really walk their “Living with a Green Heart” talk in their business processes and organizational culture.
