5. Helmholtz Sustainability Summit
5. Helmholtz Sustainability Summit
The Sustainability Forum working group cordially invites you to the 5th Helmholtz Sustainability Summit at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) in Heidelberg on 26 and 27 November 2024 with the focus on Committed Together – Supporting Sustainability & CSRD Through Synergies.
The title alone gives away our focus this year: providing an overview of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), presenting initial best practice examples for carrying out a materiality analysis and implementing of the CSRD at the Helmholtz Centres, further expanding dialogue and networking in order to discover commonalities in the implementation of the CSRD and supporting each other through synergies.
What content and formats do we offer?
• A keynote with a future perspective
• An impulse and a high-calibre panel discussion on the meaningfulness of sustainability reporting
• Various workshops as a space for dialogue to collaborate and contribute your own questions.
Everything will be rounded off with a market of opportunities and an evening get-together to exchange information and experiences. In three workshop streams, we want to promote the development of competences for the preparation of sustainability reports in accordance with the CSRD. These workshops will be divided according to European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) topical areas and uncover possible commonalities and synergies in sustainability reporting and implementing sustainability measures and guidelines for the CSRD. In the fourth workshop, we will focus on the practical application of sustainable research for the scientific community. You can choose to participate in one of the following workshops:
WS 1: Governance Standards of CSRD Reporting
WS 2: Environmental Standards of CSRD Reporting
WS 3: Social Standards of CSRD Reporting
WS 4: Sustainable Research: Overcoming Challenges and Sharing Best Practices (in English)
