We grew up in an idyllic village landscape. Our ideals of honesty, open-mindedness and respect were instilled into us by our parents and grandparents. School days were over sooner than we would have thought – after that we stumbled into life. We are Anne-Catharina Nasri-Graage and Ralf Garber.

Every day Anne-Catharina puts a smile on our faces – her good mood is contagious. She has been that way from the very beginning. Well-read, studied and always looking for new ways – she has profound insights into people, the latest technologies as well as expertise from all over the world. Her family and friends say that Anne-Catharina’s knowledge of human nature and her social skills have made her a warm and environmentally conscious businesswoman.

For us, family means both a sense of security and responsibility.

Standing in grandma’s kitchen, baking bread and cakes – Ralf enjoyed culinary delights from an early age, which he later proved as a master chef.

Small, but fine and substantial, that’s how it should be, that was always his credo – not only in terms of body size. Also, he always had good ideas. His idealism, coupled with the ability to inspire himself and others, are still Ralf’s assets today, according to his friends and his son. He has slowly but surely created his own little “Garber’s world”.

Now Anne-Catharina, the Hanseatic, environmentally conscious, always good-humored engineer, and Ralf, the progressive businessman and Hanseatic by choice, are jointly and idealistically expanding their climate office. A nordic climate agency (Klima-Kontor) – full of ideas for more sustainability to create atmosphere.

The next pages remain exciting.
