GENERAL THEME OF THE 2025 EDITION
Theme: How can organizations create meaningful and impactful societal progress?
Background:
To generate lasting and scalable societal impact, businesses must move beyond symbolic or compliance-oriented Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices. This shift requires reorienting sustainability efforts to be deeply embedded in organizations’ strategy, culture, and operational processes. By adopting a more proactive and integrative approach to sustainability, companies can contribute to social value that aligns with global sustainability goals. Such an approach positions businesses as key contributors to a sustainable, fair model of development—one that addresses societal and environmental challenges with tangible, long-term impacts. This seminar’s theme proposes to explore how organizations can integrate sustainability across their functioning to not only reactively mitigate harm but also proactively contribute to societal progress by creating sustainable shared value.
