Launching of CBS Sustainability Seminar Series

CBS Sustainability has launched the CBS Sustainability Seminars Series. The inaugural seminar, “Materiality and Quantification”, took place on October 31 and featured three speakers: Professor Andreas Rasche from MSC, Frances Iris Lu (CBS and Maersk) and Associate Professor Niki Bey from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU).

The second seminar took place on November 30 and focused on “Prospects of Sustainable Finance (I): From Wealth Management to ‘Good Money”; Professor Brooke Harrington and Associate Professor Ole Bjerg, both from CBS, gave presentations at the seminar.

About the seminar series

The purpose of the seminar series is to forge closer ties between researchers at CBS and professionals from companies and organizations – to enable collaboration and easier access to each other’s knowledge and resources on an ongoing basis. And to build stronger relations among researchers at CBS. The USP of the network is that it is research-based and multi-disciplinary.

One aim is to help bridge divides between knowledge silos and facilitate dialogue between different knowledge disciplines. Another aim is to broaden the scope of how we think and speak about sustainability, and to explore how far we can take this concept – in different  indicated by its three pillars: environmental, economic, social. To this end, the seminar series will present many speakers from CBS and other research environments that would not ordinarily see their research as part of a sustainability agenda.

CBS Sustainability is currently finalizing the program for 2018, covering issues ranging from gender equality, digital transformations, SDGs, to work life and technology, featuring colleagues from the different departments at CBS.
