Beschreibung
ESG criteria are now on every progressive company´s agenda. Companies are expected to take responsibility for the environmental (E) and social (S) impacts of their business operations and to implement fair governance (G) practices.
But what justifies the higher ethical standards that are now demanded of companies?
What are the underlying values?
In this workshop, we look at the historical development of ethical demands made on companies from CSR to ESG and shed light on their moral grounds. This brings us to the question of what role values play in business, and how these values are changing with the rise of „ESG“.
a) What values guide business as usual?
b) What values are needed for successful sustainable transformations?
c) And how do we adapt and live these values?
The workshop will involve two short keynotes, group work that allows participants to develop their own answers to fundamental ethical as well as practical business questions, and space for open discussion.
