04: Values and virtues: Can ethics lead Europe back to the top?

-
Hauptschule
Breakout /
in englischer Sprache

The current financial and economic crisis has shaken trust in markets. Should we rethink the economy? Can we rely on existing models of Corporate Social Responsibility to foster trust in the system? Or might misguided concepts of CSR even have contributed to the crisis? What is the impact of CSR nowadays, and what remains to be done for public policy makers and political leaders? This workshop will inquire into tomorrow’s concepts of CSR: will they be able to get Europe back into the economic driver’s seat?
