Farewell to Florian Tiedtke on leaving the Green Button Secretariat
Christine Moser-Priewich takes over as head of the Green Button Secretariat
After almost five years with the Green Button and one and a half years in the senior management, the Green Button is saying goodbye to Florian Tiedtke. He will remain in the same GIZ project in which the government-run textile label is anchored but will in future take over the management of the advisory for the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) relating to the transformation of textile supply chains. From now on, Christine Moser-Priewich will be solely responsible for heading the Green Button Secretariat.
Florian Tiedtke:
“As I look back on the last few years at the Green Button, I am amazed and proud of how much the Green Button, the BMZ, the Green Button Secretariat, the certification bodies, the issuing body, the recognized standards, but also and especially the licensees of the Green Button have moved and achieved. At the end of 2019, hardly anyone had expected that the government-run textile label would develop so well and establish itself on the market so quickly. The Green Button has done pioneering work in the field of corporate due diligence. The transition to the Green Button 2.0 has made it clear that companies can and want to go the extra mile and implement more ambitious and far-reaching requirements. I am deeply grateful to have been able to accompany the team and you on this journey. Although it is a shame that I will no longer be able to experience the rest of the journey first-hand, I am very much looking forward to the new challenge. I am also reassured by the fact that the Green Button Secretariat has one of the best teams in the world and, with Christine Moser-Priewich, a wonderful head of the Secretariat. I would like to thank you all very much for the good, exciting and educational cooperation and support.”
Christine Moser-Priewich:
“Everything has an end... I would like to thank Florian Tiedtke for the last one and a half years of co-leadership of the Green Button Secretariat and for a total of five years of dedication to the Green Button! He contributed significantly to the development of the Green Button, and it is also due to him that the Green Button is where it is today. I and the team at the Green Button Secretariat have learned a lot from working with him, both professionally and personally, and always with a good sense of humor! Many thanks, Florian, for the time we spent together! All the best from all my heart.”
The Green Button wishes Florian Tiedtke all the best for his new role and looks forward to continuing the good cooperation with Christine Moser-Priewich.
