On Thursday 28th November, the ESCP Business School Berlin and the Centre for Sustainable Business (CSB) will be hosting a joint event: 'Digitalisation for Sustainability', at ESCP Berlin Campus.

The dialogue event aims to shed light on the consequences of digitalisation for sustainability, both unintended and intended, and positive and negative.

Digital technologies are playing an increasingly vital role in addressing sustainability challenges and achieving corporate sustainability goals. During this event, we will delve into how companies can use and harness these technologies to progress towards net-zero, efficiently manage and close energy and material cycles, and promote ecological and social regeneration across global supply chains.

Professor Jonatan Pinkse, Research Director at the CSB, and Professor Florian Lüdeke-Freund, Professor for Corporate Sustainability at ESCP Business School, will introduce the topic of the evening in their opening statements.

Special highlights include: Stephan König, Group Corporate Responsibility & Sustainability Strategy at Telekom, Tomas van der Heijden, the CEO of Briink, and Dr. Daniel Simon, Deputy Head of the AI and Sustainability Unit, Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV), will provide inspiration for the subsequent FishBowl discussion that will be open to all participants.
