Our founder and CEO Dr. Gesa Biermann is a finalist at the German Startup Awards 2025 🎉

We are very happy: Our co-founder and CEO Dr. Gesa Biermann is one of the top 3 finalists of the German Startup Awards 2025 in the category "Impact Entrepeneur of the Year"!

The German Startup Awardsorganized by the Federal Association of German Startupshonor outstanding personalities who are shaping the German startup landscape with courage, innovation and vision. The finalists are selected by an independent jury - based on their entrepreneurial activities, social impact and inspiring leadership.

The fact that Gesa is one of this year's finalists makes us incredibly proud. Because:

  • She has turned Pina Earth from a vision into a real lighthouse project in regional climate protection. With her expertise in the field of sustainability, her ambition and innovative mindset, she has played a decisive role in shaping the market for high-quality, transparent CO₂ certificates from German forests. 🌱
  • ‍Herpassion for social change goes far beyond Pina - whether as co-founder of 180 Degrees Consulting Municha sustainable fashion brand, or through her voluntary work on social and environmental issues. For Gesa, sustainable impact is not a job, but an attitude. 💚
  • And above all, she inspires us every day with her passion to give our planet a future fit for grandchildren. As a mentor, she not only inspires the corporate culture at Pina Earth, but also goes above and beyond by regularly promoting the advancement of female founders.💡

Now every vote counts - because the public vote is on!
