Workshop:
ESG, CSR & Co – With friendly goals
ESG, CSR & Co – With friendly goals
“Hey, what’s up? MfG!” – That’s how the Fantastic Four sing it. But in today’s business world, there is a new generation of acronyms: ESG, CSR, SDG, CSRD, ESRS, EU Green Deal, Taxonomy, GRI and many more. For many companies, it feels like an inextricable maze of acronyms. And this is exactly where we come in.
Why is this workshop important?
The letter sequences are not just fashion terms. They represent significant developments in sustainability and corporate reporting that will have a major impact on the business environment in the coming years. There is a lot of confusion about what exactly lies behind these terms and, more importantly, what they mean to a business. And while not all companies are required to report by 2025, the underlying issues could affect every business.
Our goal:
In this workshop we will go through the acronym maze and make it understandable. We provide a clear overview of the most important terms, their meanings and relevance. In addition, we address practical questions: Where do you start? How do you integrate these issues into your corporate strategy, even if you’re not reporting? What tactical steps make sense for SMEs?
Because, as the Fantastic Four would put it: It’s not just about knowing the terms, it’s also about living them. Join us and navigate safely through the world of sustainability acronyms!

“When developing new products and services, you are often so enamored with your ideas that you often lose sight of your customers. That’s why you have to learn processes where you focus on customers over and over again.”
