Cologne, 27 October 2022 – IR.on AG, a leading German investor relations and financial communications consultancy, has a new member of the Supervisory Board. Anne Pattberg, independent consultant with more than two decades of experience in the field of sustainability & ESG, has been elected by the Annual General Meeting at the end of September 2022. She replaces Markus Sellmann, partner at auditing firm Sauerland Rybka und Partner, Cologne, who is stepping down after more than twenty years in office. Prof. Dr. Friedrich Graf von Westphalen, acting Chairman of the Supervisory Board, and Supervisory Board member Christof Schramm were re-elected.

Fabian Kirchmann, Managing Partner and co-founder of IR.on AG: „We would like to thank Markus Sellmann for his many years of commitment to the company and wish him all the best for the future. At the same time, we are delighted to have gained Anne Pattberg, one of the top advisors in the ESG market, for our Supervisory Board. She combines the experience of numerous large consultancy mandates such as TK Elevator, Otto Group or Evonik with extensive expertise in sustainability consultancy for German SMEs. Her engagement will further accelerate our expansion in the field of sustainability and ESG.“
 

Anne Pattberg: „The demand from SMEs for sustainability and ESG consultancy services will continue to increase significantly. The upcoming introduction of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards, the gradual expansion of the EU taxonomy and, last but not least, the new CSR Directive, which will increase the number of German companies subject to reporting requirements to more than 15,000, offer considerable opportunities for the IR.on consulting team. I am looking forward to accompanying this strategic path as a member of the Supervisory Board.“
