In the upcoming weeks the Institute for Business Ethics and Sustainable Strategy (IBES) at FHWien der WKW invites to the Responsible Management Lectures (RML). In the 2024 summer semester, the central topic will be “Multi-stakeholder initiatives”.
Multi-stakeholder initiatives aim for a cooperative solution to complex social problems. They serve to better anchor CSR in the economy and promote sustainable development. In this way, multi-stakeholder initiatives help to strengthen corporate responsibility, respect human rights and promote environmental protection.

„Ideas for Better Business“ since 2012
Since 2012, the Institute for Business Ethics and Sustainable Strategy (IBES) at FHWien der WKW has been organizing the “Responsible Management Lectures (RML): Ideas for Better Business”, which have become an important part of the teaching at FHWien der WKW in the field of business ethics, sustainability and corporate governance.
