In a highly interconnected global economy, German companies face various geopolitical challenges: They source intermediate products, raw materials, or services, export, invest, or maintain sites and branches in countries with weak rule of law. In the context of sustainability efforts, and increasingly due to the current geopolitical situation, economic constraints, dependencies, and risk considerations present companies with various dilemmas and conflicting objectives.
Governance, or the "G" in "ESG," addresses this by describing systems and processes that establish peace, the rule of law, and strong institutions (SDG 16) as the foundation for successful business operations. This enables companies to better prepare for geopolitical risks while also contributing to improved economic conditions.
Our core topics in the area of governance include corruption prevention and transformational governance. You can get an overview of our formats on the respective topic pages, where both beginners and advanced practitioners will find the right offerings.
