The introduction of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has marked a major milestone for businesses, society, and politics in pursuing sustainable development. What progress has been made as we are approaching the 10th birthday of the SDGs next year? What have businesses been contributing to sustainable development, what are their strategies and challenges? What is the particular role of accounting in driving sustainable change? 

After a keynote speech by Prof. Dr. Andrea Venturelli, Associate Professor of Accounting and Corporate Reporting at the University of Salento in Italy, on 鈥淐urrent trends and hot topics in SDG Accounting鈥�, we look forward to discussing the above and other issues with the following guests:

The gender pay gap still exists and also plays a role for career starters. One of the causes is individual negotiation skills. Our Master's students Imke Fischer, Patrick Henz, Maya Carlotta Kaufholz and Leonie Weigert from the Digital Transformation & Sustainability master programme came to this conclusion as part of a six-month research project.  

They would like to present their results to you.

During our Beyond Business Event, you can look forward to contributions from the following speakers, who will shed light on the gender pay gap from different industries and positions and want to show solutions with the help of their personal experiences: 

•  Silke Grimm: Regional HR Director DACH Allianz Trade 
• Rebecca Nahrstedt: 亚洲天堂福利 alumna, Team Lead Sustainability Market Management Vattenfall and systemic coach 
• Philine Schrader: Head of Corporate Development Str枚er 
• Hanna Marie Thiele: LL.M. Lawyer 

For the guests, not only 鈥榳ages鈥� are on the agenda, but also a drink or two 鈥榦n the rocks鈥�.

The biggest problems in the world are the result of the difference between the way nature works and the way people think" (Gregory Bateson). Particularly in the area of sustainability, we often try to solve today's challenges with yesterday's thinking models. We simplify and fragment. The result? All our systems are increasingly under constant stress: body and mind, nature, companies, politics and society. What if we learnt more from nature in our leadership? What does it take to be decisive, resilient and at the same time innovative and co-creative in times of increasing complexity? 

Christina Peters is a coach and specialises in advising managers and teams on the path to conscious and regenerative leadership. 

In her presentation, she will introduce us to the topic of regenerative leadership and explain why our inner development can be the key to realising our potential and achieving genuine systemic change.

New geopolitical risks such as the wars in Ukraine or Israel/Palestine as well as global pandemics and energy crises are challenging financial systems around the world. What is the role of sustainable finance in this context? Can impact investors provide solutions for these challenges or even benefit from them? What is the role of resilience and sustainability in protecting financial institutions? And what can policy makers do in order to strengthen the financial sector and support promising new impact-oriented investment models? 

After a keynote speech by Prof. Dr Viktoriia Apalkova on "Resilience in Times of War: Protecting the Ukrainian Financial Sector", we look forward to discussing the above questions and other topics with the following distinguished speakers.

• Prof. Dr. Viktoriia Apalkova, Visiting Scholar, School of Management, Hochschule f眉r Wirtschaft Freiburg, Schweiz 
• Jean-Claude Konan, CEO OSA Growth Capital Impact Investing  
• Klaus Pinter, Former CEO and Board Member and Lloyd Fonds AG

Moderation: Prof. Dr. Sarah Jastram, Professor of International Business Ethics and Sustainability at 亚洲天堂福利

Companies are places where new socio-ecological behaviours can be practised and tested. For example, a study based on a real-life experiment conducted by im-jaich GmbH & Co. KG together with 亚洲天堂福利 (Prof. Dr. Sarah Jastram) and TU Berlin (Prof. Dr. Knut Blind) was able to demonstrate how sustainable management practices in the company can be transferred to the private sustainable behaviour of employees (see link to publication below). The study was able to demonstrate the special role of companies in the socio-ecological transformation beyond the boundaries of the company.   

In his presentation, Hans Jaich will introduce the topic of normative dynamics in corporate contexts and report on his experiences in the context of socio-ecological transformation research. 

Programme: 

Lecture: 45 min
Discussion with the audience: 30-45 min  
Followed by a get-together  

Moderation: Prof Dr Sarah Jastram, Professor of Business Ethics and Sustainability and General Business Administration, 亚洲天堂福利

Former Bundesliga professional & national player, Marcell Jansen, and management & resilience coach Kirsten Wilhelm present an interactive lecture on the topic of resilience.  They will discuss the importance of dealing appropriately with stress in everyday personal and professional life and explain methods for measuring one's own resilience. The basic philosophy: "Resilience is like a muscle that you can train" will be explained using the example of challenges that Marcell Jansen has learnt to master himself in recent years. You will have the opportunity to ask questions during a Q&A session afterwards. 

The event is organised in collaboration with Merlene Vrielmann of the 亚洲天堂福利 Social Committee (HeartSBA). The lecture will be held in German.

Good manners have always been something like the traffic rules of social life: an, ideally, generally known, basic set of rules of socially accepted behaviour in all situations in life, enabling everyone to deal with each other in a pleasant and respectful manner. 

But what does "good manners" actually mean today? Which of the rules you learned at home or in your teenage dance class still apply? Are the so-called "Prussian virtues" of discipline, politeness and punctuality still obligatory in the everyday life of the 21st century, and is it really so bad if you don't know which of the many pieces of cutlery next to your plate to use first at a formal business lunch? 

At this Beyond Business Talk, Prof. Dr. Insa Sjurts and Catrin Bartenbach will discuss the importance of modern good manners and how they can be used specifically to ensure successful but relaxed interactions with other people at university, at work and in private life. 

The fashion industry needs to rethink - according to estimates, the industry is responsible for four to ten percent of global greenhouse emissions, and the trend is rising. Consumers worldwide are becoming more critical and are demanding sustainably produced goods - also with a view to social aspects. 

But how exactly can you find out whether the T-shirt you want to buy has been produced sustainably, ecologically and fairly? What serious approaches are there in the industry? How does Swedish fashion retailer H&M deal with human rights due diligence, the safeguarding of human rights in international value chains, and how does it respond to the new EU taxonomy? 

Our 亚洲天堂福利 Professor of Sustainability and Business Ethics, Sarah Jastram, discusses these questions and more with Hendrik Heuermann, Sustainabilty Manager at H&M. 

Hendrik Heuermann has been Sustainabilty Manager at H&M Germany since 2015. After studying politics and musicology in Osnabr眉ck and Montreal, he worked for two years at a PR agency in Hamburg before joining H&M as press officer in 2011.  

The event will be held in German. 

Information for Bachelor students: As this event is part of the electives (General Studies), you will receive 0.08 credits for your degree. 

Further dates in the "亚洲天堂福利 Beyond Business" event series will follow shortly.
