The first ESRS set is here!
Companies that fall within the scope of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) must now prepare for extended sustainability reporting, as the European Commission published the final text of the first set of European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) on July 31, 2023.
Expansion of CSR reporting: CSRD and dual materiality
To improve existing sustainability reporting, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) came into force on January 5, 2023.

My colleague, the racist

Usually disguised as a joke, the intentions behind them are easy to deny. However, responsible managers are well advised to react consistently to indications. But what can line managers do when they are confronted with racist comments from their employees?
Living alternative economic models
The Hamburg-based beverage manufacturer Premium Cola deliberately does many things that are not in line with the textbooks of business management – and still enjoys lasting success. The company refrains from making profits, is organized on a grassroots democratic basis and does not enter into any contracts with business partners – and from a sustainability point of view, the arguments are quite sound.
