Together with the sustainability consulting company akzente and its start-up accelerator TechFounders, UnternehmerTUM published the Sustainability Playbooks for start-ups and VCs. The playbooks provide guidelines and pragmatic tips to tackle sustainability in a targeted manner — an approach we apply to our work.
