Beatriz Schreib<\/strong> (Founder and Director)has been involved in the fundraising for the \u00abSchweizer Tafel\u00bb for six years, after years working in the hotel sector and the food industry. In 2020, she read an article in the \u00abNZZ am Sonntag\u00bb titled: \u00abNo new goods for the bin\u00bb, which referred to the huge amount of consumer goods that are being destroyed in Germany every year. Via the contact to \u00abinnatura.org\u00bb she got in touch with \u00abIn Kind Direct International\u00bb with a view to becoming a network partner in Switzerland. In 2021 she founded \u00abMateriaBona\u00bb.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

He has founded \u00abMateriaBona\u00bb together with Beatriz Schreib.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\u00abIt is a great honour that we have been able to support MateriaBona from the very beginning. In a partnership-based dialogue, we developed the corporate design, website and catalogue in such a way that the warm, professional character of the two founders is reflected, while at the same time supporting the achievement of MateriaBona’s communication goals.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n
