This magazine captures part of the journey that its first ever Bachelor of Engineering students had. It summarizes their research results on future technologies and sustainability in our everyday lives. They gained insights into trends and current problems that companies, politics and the wider public face but also opportunities enabled by new discoveries and innovation. May this mark the start of a tradition allowing incoming students to dive deeper into a topic of their interest on their way of changing our world for the better. Section A considers Sustainable Business Practices and the balancing act of transforming industries and society. This section of Foot Print is dedicated to projects and companies that enable us to reduce our carbon foot print and combat the already visible effects of climate change. Section B considers Technologies of the Future and the potential of novel technologies for our society. Following the industrial revolution is the ongoing technological revolution. This section of Foot Print is dedicated to technologies that are truly having an impact on meeting climate goals, improving manufacturing practices or saving lives improving the medical sector.

After a definition of sustainability the status quo is described, which shows the need for transformation. Then the example of climate change illustrates how urgently needed, important, and demanding sustainable solutions are. The following section focuses on businesses as one particular group of players; it explains how they can meet sustainability requirements and which economic models go with them.

Nach einer Definition des Begriffs Nachhaltigkeit wird der Ist-Zustand beschrieben; dies lässt den Veränderungsbedarf erkennen. Anschließend wird am Beispiel des Klimawandels verdeutlicht, wie dringend, wichtig und anspruchsvoll nachhaltige Lösungen sind. Die folgenden Abschnitte konzentrieren sich auf zwei Gruppen von Akteuren, die Unternehmen und die Wissenschaft; es werden Hinweise gegeben, wie Unternehmen den Nachhaltigkeitsanforderungen entsprechen, welche Wirtschaftsmodelle dazu passen und wie Forschung und Bildung beitragen können.

EOM was triggered by the idea to regard planet Earth as a business (PEaaB). Millions of business managers were enthused by this idea and have utilized their knowledge and power to achieve PEaaB´s vision: “Humans live their lives with dignity – now and for all generations to come.” The paper reminds of the reasons for PEaaB, its basic characteristics, and key issues from a business management perspective. Then it gives a brief insight into the startup phase of PEaaB and illustrates how it has contributed to climate protection until 2051. The conclusion gets back to the beginning of the 2020s and reflects on this fictional science development review.
