Background

About Christian Haschka

Senior communications and public affairs executive with over 20 years of international experience in corporate affairs, stakeholder engagement, and regulatory strategy — working across the agriculture, chemicals, and sustainability-driven sectors. I bring a unique mix of strategic thinking and operational precision: from shaping public narratives in highly regulated industries, to delivering integrated communication strategies under pressure. I advise regional executive teams, act as company spokesperson, lead crisis readiness, and help organisations earn trust in complex political and societal environments. Currently, I head Corporate Affairs for Nufarm in the EMEA region, where I oversee internal and external communications, public affairs, sustainability positioning and crisis management. My background in journalism and broadcasting has shaped how I approach reputation and influence: with clarity, agility and a deep understanding of public sentiment. I am particularly experienced in navigating contentious societal issues and NGO-driven debates — especially in the context of EU policy-making. Above all, I help organisations build credibility, shape policy, and communicate with purpose — even in volatile or reputationally high-risk environments.
