Christian is a business and association executive with a wealth of experience in promoting responsible business conduct and driving positive change.

Throughout his career, Christian has demonstrated a strong commitment to responsible practices.

Before joining Löning, Christian worked as the president of two organisations: the ICTI CARE Foundation and amfori – trade with purpose. Under Christian’s leadership, both organisations boasted memberships exceeding 2,500 and have played a crucial role in mobilising member companies to prioritise human rights and responsible business conduct throughout their global supply chains. While serving for amfori in Brussels, Christian actively participated in shaping global trade issues and fostering productive dialogue between the EU Commission and various Asian countries.
