Climate Action Guide

Ferry Heilemann is an entrepreneur, an investor, and a climate activist. In 2009, after completing his degree course, he and his brother Fabian founded DailyDeal, the first European couponing portal. They later sold the company to Google. Heilemann also founded Forto, a digital freight forwarding company, built up a team of more than 300 employees, and then, in the summer of 2020, moved to a position on the shareholder advisory board in order to be able to put more of his efforts into the fight against climate change. One of his projects in this area has been co-founding the Leaders for Climate Action initiative, whose goal is to make the entire digital industry climate neutral. In 2020, he was named "Germany's top entrepreneur".
