  • Aspire to Be ‘CEO for One Month’

    Lilian Furrer
    Adecco Group

    Accessing the world of work and finding a pathway to fulfill their personal potential is a major challenge for anyone out of – and seeking – work. This is especially so for the 73 million youths under the age of 25, fueling fears of a ‘jobless generation.’ Skills mismatch and a lack of experience, even among the most highly educated, can almost be perceived as a discriminatory barrier to employment, which is central to Global Compact Principle 6. It dashes dreams, wastes human capital, and damages productivity. The Adecco Group – the world’s leading provider of HR solutions – has not stood by idly.  more[...]

  • Entstehung und Bedeutung des Stakeholder-Ansatzes

    Klaus Lintemeier, Lintemeier Stakeholder Relations

    Als Howard R. Bowen 1953 über die „Responsibilities of a Businessman“ schrieb, war der Begriff des Stakeholders kaum bekannt und wurde von ihm auch nicht verwendet. Aber dass wirtschaftliches Handeln stets einen Rahmen von Verantwortlichkeiten aufspannt und der gesellschaftlichen Einbettung und Legitimation bedarf, war Bowen bereits klar. Mittlerweile hat sich das Bild komplett gewandelt: Selbst langjährige Befürworter einer bevorzugten Shareholder-Orientierung, wie der Wirtschaftswissenschaftler und Unternehmensberater Fredmund Malik (2011), halten mittlerweile eine einseitige Fokussierung auf Anteilseigner für einen Managementfehler.  more[...]  login_required

  • Biodiversitätsmanagement

Unternehmen, die ihre Produktion und Dienstleistungen auslagern, lagern auch ihre Reputationsrisiken und ihre gesellschaftliche Verantwortung aus. Die dementsprechende Bedeutung eines guten Lieferkettenmanagements ist Unternehmen wie auch Anlegern bewusst.  more[...]

  • Creating Sustainable Value Through Stakeholder Engagement

    Prof. Dr. Christof Ehrhart, Deutsche Post DHL Group
    Deutsche Post DHL

    We are living in an era that has seen the key factors for corporate success change markedly in the span of just a few years. The boundary between business and society is fading, and the consequences are penetrating into the very core of corporate decision-making. A shift in attitude can already be observed in the higher echelons of many companies. Instead of placing their primary focus on shareholders, companies increasingly understand the importance of addressing the needs and expectations of a broader stakeholder base. The shift away from the classic shareholder value paradigm has made way for a new and more sustainable approach: stakeholder value.  more[...]
