A Green Talk with The Green Man

Founder of Eco Warrior Malaysia, International Trainer, Ecopreneur, Green Activist, Matthias has been a Professional Speaker on Environmental Management Sustainability for the last 19 years across 40 countries.


For the past 10 years Matthias has based himself in Asia, specifically Malaysia and ‘The Philippines’, where he has grown a strong following across the region.

Matthias originates from a small German village surrounded by the forest and, from his youth, has been a passionate advocate of green living.

His core passion - and lifetime’s mission - is dedicated to Mother Nature and preserving the planet’s natural environment by both promoting ‘Environmental Management and Corporate Social Responsibility’ among business, government and the ordinary people.

Earning a Master’s in Environmental Science majoring in Legislation from Brunel University in the United Kingdom, Matthias has also been recognized as worldwide champion in the Award for Greenest Person on the Planet by 3rd Whale in 2008.

Matthias has also authored (and officially launched on World Environment Day 2015) his first book entitled “The Green Man’s Guide to “Green Living and Working”.

The book is also an attempt to produce the Greenest Book on the Planet that is carbon neutral, as an example of how we can change our impact on the planet in tangible ways.

Matthias also "walks the green talk" by living without a car and using a meager USD$10 of electricity every month.

He has initiated the Negawatt Revolution Energy Campaign and Facebook Group Eco Warriors in Malaysia, two community movements focused on taking positive action to combat climate change and reduce your household energy by 10%.

As another example to the business world of being the change you want to see, Matthias is also co-founder of Maleki GmbH, a construction material research and development business in Germany that specializes in low carbon footprint, high performance building material and also acts as a Board of Director for a U.S. based solar cell research, technology and development business in Malaysia.
