7:20 am
before being dropped like other chinese players shun show now received lucrative offers from abroad she moved to a german club which encouraged her to also take up citizenship. for me the manager wanted to apply on my behalf but i said no i wanted to retain my chinese passport but i gave it a lot of thought the manager said that if i had a german possible so i could play another 10 years for the club and that's obviously an incentive for shyam shown i had by this point already been living in europe for 7 years winning the champions league and 2 german singles titles she also became friends with kids the long run the multiple german and european champion was eager to help her budding and maid of honor and i are going to i'm sure that what if i was asked a few times by senior officials what i made of shannon as a player and i said that she could be a big asset for the german team of god that i would definitely welcome such

a move in front of the question players nationality is subject to a confusing array of regulations for world championships some show now wouldn't be eligible to compete for another 9 years but the olympics were open to her immediately in miami. the manager if i fancied playing for germany. i never thought i'd get that kind of chance. i said ok let's try it. and i really did make it. amazing. i'm so happy. that. became german in 20124 years later the rio olympics the german team with her in it's made it to the final with a sensationally claims. it's been the most because i'm so grateful to gemini i would otherwise never have been able to compete at the end in pics but it was making the switch from china to germany that gave me the chance germany expressed
7:22 am
its gratitude to shine show now with the country's highest sporting distinction the silver laurel leaf i'm german table tennis also was of course that's why i'm not with other i know not true lies germans and if it's the society we honestly would not have won a medal in rio and of course this means funding for the judo association and grounds youth programs. for a lot of countries sports authority is changing nationality is evidently an investment in the future. while there are always 2 sides sure i have the option of living my dream and going to the olympics but there's no country in the world that would go to the trouble of issuing a passport in this case for a german if it did not stand to gain. the bronze i got when you call sport after just a few months it was handed over to her in kinshasa by dominique. not

a government official but the president of the congolese judo association since then she's been competing for the diaw seat who was going through i was touched because everyone was saying it's impossible she's white neither of her parents are from congo so i didn't know how i was supposed to make her congolese what i said was it's a sports nationality which no one understood when it was done i felt very emotional because as she came. he. has since gone on to win 2 world cup of ends and gold of the african championships for her new countries judo association funds tracking her citizenship application turned out to be very profitable. never been a gold medal for congo before and it was memory who gave it to us. that gold medal also meant money for the association is there any benefit from locally born. in fact the team for the tokyo comprised solely of athletes who. live abroad.

and in german table tennis the practice of recruiting chinese players goes back decades. to see coming was even one generation we had 3 johnnie's women in the national team just a growing up in germany. where they were competing for places in the european and world championship squads which wasn't good news for everyone and that is the eye of course it impedes our own news programs why should i bother to develop 10 equally good players feyerick government training program only to see those places taken by others that's of. germany is not the only country naturalizing table tennis players from china it's a global phenomenon. table tennis at the olympics could arguably be called a chinese championship a quarter of male and female players at the rio games were born in china. they
7:25 am
competed for over a 3rd of all nations represented including the u.s. turkey canada qatar brazil and china itself of course. as the number one sport table tennis enjoys world class backing in china even the alice look at the chinese women steyn 40 players in total but only 5 of them will go to the major tournament the other 35 players are just kind of training partners. and a fair number of them will switch to another country as a result table tennis is the world's leading sport when it comes to naturalized players in rio they comprise 31 percent of entrants while the figure for judo was 11 percent. is one of the various countries using financial incentives to attract new recruits the success of foreign born

athletes suddenly representing turkey has also been controversial. in african athletics chief responded the present situation is wrong what we have is a wholesale market for african talent open to the highest bidder the world governing body has now amended the rules to prevent athletes switching. overnight. is an olympic winning javelin thrower and an official athlete representative. world athletics the old i really tighten things up creating new stipulations for both athletes and associations what i know as an athlete representative is that switching your country or your jersey is not always the same we have refugee stories where young athletes have arrived in a new country due to their personal plight. and once they're of course they can't wait to take their passion even up to the international level. and that's completely understandable. then. fled ethiopia in

20136 years later she became german and is now considered a major medal contender. also left ethiopia as a refugee becoming a dutch citizen and a world beating the middle and long distance runner but some athletes end up stateless. had to leave the democratic republic of congo as a young but later competed at the rio olympics in the refugee team. at the tokyo games. to represent the same country that other top to have been forced to flee from on the other hand the d.l.c. team has won some new fans. i think. that in the olympics i'll be cheering on congo in the olympics. as so often sports is not a level playing field this athlete got

manticora. for some. and some great cultural memorials to boot. w. trouble free go. ahead of the. purpose driven entrepreneurs are reinventing the economy the aim of their companies is to serve employees and society not the capital markets from which is for me the purpose movement is actually a counter movement to the current hyper capitalism back to business with a purpose you know and. the purpose of the business is the focal point not the profit. game is to
7:31 am
give in and we reinvest profits in our purpose and mission we always have control over what we do and our mission is always at the heart of our actions and 100 many entrepreneurs have even walked away from their money. jumping ships and i could try expropriated myself because i believe that a company whose success involves 1000 colleagues should no longer belong to one person alone. sistan croll is one of germany's most successful and most unusual internet entrepreneurs. 10 years ago he founded his own search engine. on his daily commute he cycles through berlin scream loves. the tear gotten. across here works like google but with one major difference a cozy uses its profits to finance the planting of trimix. the founder has no
7:32 am
interest in personal wealth the sense of purpose and his work is much more important to him. as a shop. for a while ago i decided to give a cosy up that is more or less all the shares i own in it to the purpose foundation that makes it impossible to sell the company in addition we have a binding agreement that it's impossible to extract profits and no one can gain control over the company if they don't work there we've turned a cosy into a cell phone company which is not a profit oriented or profit maximizing business and we've protected it from any predatory capitalism so to speak on the scope and protected it for the future. it's . christiane croll is still the boss at it. but he no
7:33 am
longer owns the company assets. with the help of a special foundation model the internet startup has become a so-called purpose driven company and is now steward owned. the company's chief aim is to plant trees a cozy a success has proven its founder right together with his team kroll is celebrating a key milestone in the company's history planting their 100 millionth tree. ok this is a. in berlin a cozy employs around 70 well paid staff. instead of working to line their bosses pockets they are gradually making the earth greener.

this district in homburg used to be the world's largest trading center for natural commodities such as tea and coffee. today in one of the former warehouses the founder team based around christie and 6 month and kathleen is working on a product made of a rather unusual natural resource but sadly in abundance worldwide waste plastic. the it is plastic for wild plastic film is turned into a wild garbage bag why the wild it doesn't exist just yet we've been working on it for the last 2 years to make it possible and now we're just about to launch the wild bag onto the market lots of little. this start up was founded as a stuart owned company the purpose foundation holds one percent of the shares with a veto right. their most important task is to say no no to dividends and no to potential buyers. info about the company is
7:35 am
cell phone the only people who are voting rights are the employees themselves and those who make the decisions of people who want to daily basis do what we have decided to do which is to save wild blasting. the raw material for the sustainable garbage bag is wild plastic it is collected directly from polluted environments in developing countries where no one has ever cared much about plastic waste and no functioning recycling systems exist. this was. a human who no one has ever done any of the things we're doing and we still have a lot to do because so much of the stuff is lying around you can make a lot of really great products with it that people need and he used every day for mention of and. hardly anyone in the team had any previous knowledge of plastic what unites them is their mission to liberate the
7:36 am
world of plastic. i'm. a co-founder and had a kind of a pet for me while on a mountain of rubbish in india. and. we were standing on one of the biggest garbage heaps in the world just outside of delhi. it's so absurd. always you feel so small and melancholy when you see how huge the world's environment problems are. actually either you just feel depressed about it or you start to do something about it yourself to stick to. 3 years later we found it a purpose driven company yes we're selling our 1st products made of wild plastic. we're collecting garbage ourselves with partners in africa haiti india and we're shipping it around the world processing it and making products it's
7:37 am
a pretty good feeling. the a company is located in like cares in the allegory region of southern germany. the company used to belong to michel heads or who inherited it from his father. but at some point he asked himself why should all of this be his alone. he always saw himself as more of a trustee than an owner. over $1000.00 employees work together to produce sensory technology and operating units. put in a full chip are 1000 employees is responsible for our success so i no point so why should it belong to just one person is for me and for me it just isn't logical and . if you want to rule out the sale of a company physio host then it's almost a logical step to transfer it into stewart ownership disinvite. so creating.
7:38 am
the working processes in the industrial firm have not changed only the company structure is different from a family business has become a foundation company the family entrepreneur has become a donor people were very skeptical at 1st example we don't have the kind of need some people kept saying you can't just give away your company you can't give it out it has to stay in the my family. this is the sort of thing we heard all the time of course that if you were good. but for me show heads or his purpose driven approach represents the core of social market economy as he sees it free in his business activities but removed from the harsh rules of so-called investor capitalism. really have been. of course
7:39 am
a stuart owned company certainly has the advantage that the company is clearly working for itself and can use most of its profits before it in the country's history because you know who they're only the foundation if there isn't one gets a part of it but there are no partners paying themselves dividends i was even kind is there a company can't be sold to just anyone who might then close it down or order cost cutting measures which mean the company is even worse off after acquisition than before but they still not nothing for cold none of that can happen with a purpose driven company i mean obviously don't even assume. that the conversion process was more complicated than anticipated. in the legal realm of limited companies public limited companies and partnerships there is as yet no clauses in german business law for stewart owned company. as an entrepreneur i thought it was something you just do when did you hire
7:40 am
a consultant specialized in that deal and a year later at the latest but the thing is done and dusted. existing for it so i certainly had a lesson to learn. in fact it took over 6 years and cost a good half a 1000000 euros until the family business could become a stewart owned company the legal transition is complicated. this man wants to change that. i'm sorry i'm just but i can hear you i'll just read myself while you're talking. i mean story or novel is an entrepreneur and an influential figure in germany's purpose movement. and he thinks that the ownership structures of companies have to change if they are to serve employees and society and. that's why he set up the purpose foundation and the foundation for steward
7:41 am
ownership as a lobbyist he is active in the political corridors of berlin. i mean if i want to say i promise everyone in the whole world every consumer that this company is really here to serve a purpose and not for my private wealth then i'm not legally allowed to do that because the german laws prevent that i'm here in berlin today to change that that's why i'm doing this bizarre marathon with the lobby members of parliament on. today's legislation regarding the foundation of a german limited company for example dates back to the days of the german empire amending it is by no means easy. it's forced if you do it just for if it takes a lot of patience and a lot of time. i don't think i would do it if i wasn't deeply convinced that i along with many other people have gone into business to stand for a cause not to get rich guys like you and because we want to bring something good
7:42 am
to the world but just don't have the right legal structures let's try that route. that's why the 30 year old is campaigning for a new special legal form a limited company for businesses in stuart. ownership. asked why would we initially they didn't take us seriously when you 1st approach members of parliament they've got so much on their plate hundreds of emails every day you just can't get through it 1st you have to be really persistent like a yapping dog who won't shut up until you get an appointment with the. attic osea there aren't many people in the office during the pandemic important revenue sources such as advertising customers from tourism have been booking less lately yet the firm is still doing well. we were evaluated in
7:43 am
terms of the classic start of the metrics we would be maybe worth several $100000000.00 course that also means that my shares it could have been worth a great deal of money so i sacrificed a lot of money but i realised that money was never a driver for me so it's not a big problem for me. cosy is now getting trees planted in 30 countries along with climate protection it's also about supporting the local population. the priorities are clearly defined the purpose of the company is at least as important as the company itself. if we don't plant trees to earn money we earn money so we can plant trees so the principle is really different we have a totally different d.n.a. our aim is to channel 60 percent of our turnover into reforestation projects and
7:44 am
each month at least 80 percent of the profits goes into reforestation. but the coronavirus pandemic has forced to many of the projects to remain on hold a video conference with brazil. pleasure to meet. brazil has been hit especially hard by the pandemic. perseverance is the name of the game not losing sight of the goal especially given the global crisis for me just for me purpose is actually the perfect answer to many problems that we now have in capitalism this hyper capitalism that leads to climate
7:45 am
change and also environmental destruction and i don't think a purpose driven company would do that and in germany we have the idea of the social market economy as a guiding principle sadly we've moved far away from it and i think through the purpose economy we can get closer to it again. putting people at the heart of business operations is also a guiding principle at a low bow. i think that a steward own company has to create a corporate culture. i know what their name is couture for has to have it in place before it transforms itself was here before. me and the staff would must have a lot of scope for taking on responsibility. that means the decisions that are made should be made where the problem arises or. this problem of.
7:46 am
the memory can you do these 2 next but we have to send them out tomorrow. as a precision engineer in the production department. i was part of the group responsible for creating a new pay scheme concept from the position was that the time just and i applied for it thinking maybe i can make a difference which kind of people who understand it shows a lot of trust when the ball says let's involve some people from the production team to meet. with his a lowbrow foundation michelle heads or promotes projects in environmental protection refugee aid and education. the foundation supports the local grammar school with a 6 figure donation every year in korea then we can show you around up stairs and see how things are progressing.
7:47 am
outdated classrooms have to be completely refurbished. d.d.'s says the idea is to turn this space into a so-called working area a library where people can work on their own in peace and quiet. so. the walls will be removed and new methods of teaching and learning introduced. you to our heads are already made donations to the school as a family business owner that was often met with skepticism. i'm with you here in the interim from which you're from here in germany you get all these strange questions from people why do you support such projects so they always assume it's to save tax or that you want to exert influence. people don't see that you could simply be enthusiastic about an idea and want to support it for that reason. they seem. to. get up.
7:48 am
in the modern building next door the new classroom and learning concepts have already been implemented partly things to financial support. despite the current pandemic restrictions many children here can learn from a low bow employees. this is not free and it's a great feeling of course when you see it actually work out in reality and when the children say they really enjoy it and can't imagine it any other way it's brilliant it's a total success. deep in the heart of the brandenburg countryside christiane croll has an onsite appointment the search engine specialist is visiting last most a company which makes apple juice from the fruit in these orchards their shared fascination for trees brought them together. to him back there looks pretty good so

it i like to give them a little nudge because i see that people who have taken the steps are glad that they did feel a feel lots of entrepreneurs and employees feel it in their heart that it can't go on like this only 5 that they want a different form of economy they want to be able to promise hey we're not only doing this to get richer but we're also doing it because we want to give something back to society. i mean story or novel advises and helps companies to set up a purpose driven company or make the transition to one. the idea is not really new large and well known companies like bosh or size have had at least a similar structure for decades. ross is the one so i think it is the basic idea maybe to be on one level you could summarize it like this a company is not

a commodity. entrepreneurs interested in the idea have come to listen to the experience of other founders. christiane croll reports on his personal purpose moment shortly after he gave up his shares. yeah but for me that was the moment when i really noticed that he cozy is safe from the influences of capitalism was discovered and now we can build up something really big even if something happens to me it cozier is hopefully still safe in the coming centuries and i hope that is a competitive advantage over google that no one can take away from us that we simply don't have to maximize profits. this is a. sustainable business methods and the question of the meaningfulness of very own work is something that interests above all younger people who have in my view know we have entitlements and we have many young colleagues and it's not enough for them just to get a salary they also what am i actually doing here every day does it give me

a sense of purpose for me since i got it i didn't especially people who have just graduated and they say ok long term i'd actually like to work for a company where i'm convinced by that message message so i know that money is not lining the c.e.o.'s folk it's what we're working for a mission that we have and in other words we share common values in the minds of movie at. a company outing to saxony on. the wild plastic team wants to be there when the piles of waste plastic are finally turned into garbage bags in this factory. and hardly knew why. we're here today because we want to experience of 1st production off the wall bags full of them while banks were today is really about cereal production and of course it's really exciting because these are the 1st 12 bags we have been going to deliver back to them the whole thing for me and. it
7:54 am
is no coincidence that the 1st product of this young purpose driven company is of all things a plastic garbage bag is most i am we have to start with a must produce a product that's why it's a garbage because it symbolizes the trash that we collect that. pick up so that you can connect in a garbage bag made of the garbage that was collected on the streets of the world. turning wild plastic into garbage bags is a real challenge production is both complex and complicated. but they must be i mean yeah nobody has ever produced a bat with the materials that we work with and that makes it a bit more difficult i freely got. wild plastic ones to conquer around 10 percent of the bin bag market in order to be able to work sustainably and profitably but there are teething problems you have run through on the perforation should actually
