Jan Christian Polanía Giese

Jan Christian Polanía Giese is Senior Manager and heads the Sustainable Consumption and Product Policy division at adelphi. Through his work, he facilitates evidence-based consumption policy and supports it through concrete implementation projects that involve a wide range of stakeholder groups. A central focus for him is the design and application of effective tools for informing consumers, particularly through the use of eco-labels and Digital Product Passports (DPP). His commitment to promoting sustainable consumption patterns and lifestyles extends to both the national and international levels.

“Consumption-oriented sustainability policy cannot replace production-related regulatory measures, but rather supplement them in a variety of ways. Through my interdisciplinary work at adelphi, I keep an eye on the wishes and needs of citizens and can help prepare the ground for the urgently needed, profound changes to our lifestyles.”
