5th Sustainability Webinar

Policy Coherence for Sustainability: Taking Stake of State-of-the-Art

Sustainability, especially its environmental component, has been the guiding force behind the powerful changes happening in EU business law: from sustainable corporate governance initiative, to the renewed EU corporate sustainability reporting as a welcome step away from the initial non-financial reporting, and the renewed sustainable finance taxonomy. As the quest for policy coherence for sustainability has been largely focused on the corporate world, leading as compared to the changes in public procurement and higher education, the present webinar will focus on the changes in EU policy making in the field of business law, opening the door for fruitful discussions and nuanced views on the pending policy and legislative changes. Accompanying the special issue of the Sustainability Journal "(In)Corporate Sustainability: A Systemic Shift towards Sustainability" the webinar explores the most vivid field of policy coherence for sustainability in the EU context, providing a global forum for discussion and allowing for constructive debate on the current issues in the field of corporate sustainability.

The webinar includes presentation from four scholars which are active in the field of corporate sustainability, providing timely insight into the challenges and solutions for sustainable corporate conduct and broader EU policy coherence for sustainability, providing a great starting point for further contribution to the “(In)Corporate Sustainability: A Systemic Shift towards Sustainability” issue.

I am hereby inviting you to participate in the webinar as audience and raise new questions on the topic, to allow us to deepen our contribution on the pertinent topic of corporate sustainability to allow for proactive scholarly work on the topic that will allow for a forward-looking policy making based on sound scientific comments.
