Article "Sustainable and digital: Why we have to rethink" by René Schmidpeter (german
In times of complexity nothing is like it used to be. We are in a state of constant structural change that raises hopes, but also causes uncertainty, which can be very uncomfortable for those that are used to stability. According to Prof. Dr. René Schmidpeter "Digitalization is a great opportunity to rethink freedom and responsibility!" The new book CSR and digitalization suggests a new entrepreneurial perspective on the topic of responsibility. It presents the latest findings in the field of digitization supported by practical examples from business, politics and the civil society. Also, for the first time innovative approaches that combine the current sustainability debate with the strategic handling of the digitalization challenges are discussed.

Also, the entire book is available NOW!

CSR Day Berlin (german) - Review
Berlin (German), October 10th: Is sustainability worthwhile? One question, different answers. That is at least how it has been so far. But at this year's CSR Day in Berlin it became obvious that by addressing ideas like power-free refrigerators, climate-neutral catering, compostable sneakers, cultural partnering, artificial intelligence and cargo bikes for emission-free commerce, sustainability can be the key to making money. CBS professor René Schmidpeter was invited to hold a keynote speech. (picture credits go to Michael Brunner, IHK Berlin)
