Sebastian Copeland is convinced that the two key drivers for our future are science and technology, which provide solutions. For over 25 years, the Englishman has been committed to climate protection. He is a polar explorer and climate analyst, having studied geology and glaciology, among other fields. However, Copeland is also an award-winning photographer and author. The Englishman crossed Greenland and Antarctica and reached the geographic North Pole – on foot. "And every time I return to these places, to the Arctic or Antarctic, I see the accompanying effects and impacts of human actions," he explains.
Climate protection, responsible use of resources, social progress, and social justice are among the major challenges of our time. Audi assumes economic, ecological, and social responsibility and makes sustainable business an integral part of all decisions and products.
Sebastian Copeland is an environmentalist, author, polar explorer, and photographer. "I love taking pictures of icebergs because they are constantly changing. They are born, they travel, they interact - and then they merge with the sea, giving life to the next cycle of icebergs. It's beautiful,“ he says.
