FRZ Sustainability Circle

Has sustainability become obsolete in times of crisis?

Many companies are currently asking themselves this question.

When budgets get tighter, projects are prioritized and everyday life gets tough: Is sustainability the first thing to fall by the wayside? Or exactly what you should understand right now?

We talk openly about this at this Circle.

• What actually pays off in terms of turnover, efficiency or employees in the end?
• What is really useful and what can we do without?
• Where do companies fail in practice and why?

Insights that are rarely heard elsewhere:

Kalina Oroschakoff, (former) climate correspondent Neue Zürcher Zeitung / independent journalist – Neue Zürcher Zeitung puts things in perspective and asks the uncomfortable question: Is the sustainability agenda still relevant in times of crisis? Between the energy crisis, geopolitical pressure and economic uncertainty, it shows why sustainability has long been more than just an image issue and is increasingly becoming a business necessity.

• What does this mean in concrete terms for SMEs?
• What are the risks of postponing the issue?
• And how can sustainability be approached in a pragmatic and economically sensible way?

Nicholas Hänny, co-founder and CEO of NIKIN, one of Switzerland’s best-known sustainable clothing brands, gives us honest insights into best practices and failures from 10 years of sustainability at the company. Using concrete examples and practicable lessons learned, he shows what has worked and what has failed in the interplay between ecology, social issues and the economy. Which measures actually create business value and which do not?
