At this networking event, we will delve into stakeholder management and social accountability. Together with policymakers, experts, business leaders, investors, and the stakeholders of the future, we will examine and discuss how organizations actively promote the “S” in ESG. How do they interact with stakeholders? How do they address social accountability in their own operations and their supply chains? What regulatory frameworks support or hinder their efforts? With fast-evolving values, how do leaders manage public opinion and measure what is for the social good? Members of the international student body at ESMT will also share insights from an interactive workshop focused on the distinct challenges of supply chain management that will be held directly preceding the panel discussion.
