Founders thoughts

Hanns Carl von Carlowitz wrote his seminal work "Sylvicultura oeconomica" in 1713 in Freiberg, Saxony. He served as the Electoral Saxon Chief Mining Officer of the Ore Mountains. Faced with widespread deforestation, he focused intensively on reforestation, forest stewardship, and sustainable use.

His motivation was not only environmental concern, but a very practical economic need: addressing the severe shortage of timber and securing sufficient wood for mine construction and the smelting industry in the future.

From the very origins of the sustainability concept, economic and ecological aspects were therefore closely linked. Economic value creation and sustainability are not contradictions.

More than 300 years later, sustainability has become a central topic for markets and companies, conceptually captured through ESG factors. “ESG” stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance.

The forest thus represents only one dimension of sustainability, namely the environmental one. Other important fields are equally relevant, and there are many different paths toward sustainable business.

Whatever the starting point, there is no way around sustainable value creation. To contribute personally and with conviction, and driven by a passion for forests and forestry, AIM Advice in Motion GmbH was founded in 2020.

“Art, science, diligence, and good order in our country depend on conserving forests and planting trees. They ensure continuous, enduring, and sustainable use …” (von Carlowitz, 1713)
