Knaus Tabbert’s CEO and IR head discuss ESG integration and the bonds between IR and the C-suite

IR Magazine recently spoke with Manuel Taverne, head of IR at German recreational vehicle manufacturer Knaus Tabbert, and Wolfgang Speck, CEO of the firm.

In this video interview, Taverne and Speck talk about the role ESG plays in the firm’s corporate narrative today, how investor focus on ESG-related topics has shifted for Knaus Tabbert since its IPO and how often it addresses the matter in investor meetings.

Taverne also shares some of the lessons learned from his career in IR, while Speck delves into how IROs can foster a strong relationship with their company’s C-suite.
