During this panel discussion, moderated by R. Andreas Kraemer, the performance promises of companies in the digital economy were examined from a scientific and practical perspective, and challenges for company rating and concerns for ethical investment were explored.
The issues were presented and discussed from different disciplines and practical perspectives, e.g. rating agency ISS-oekom and investment fund Ökovision, with short impulse statements from:
- Dr. Teresa Schlüter, Scientific Officer, German Advisory Council on Global Change (WBGU): Digitalization and global sustainability.
- Prof. Dr. Sascha Dickel, IÖW & University of Mainz: Expectations of institutional investors - Ökovision from Ökoworld
- Dr. Christian Thorun, ConPolicy: Corporate Digital Responsibility and Expectations of Consumers, Savers and Investors
- R. Andreas Kraemer, Ecologic Institute & Duke University: Digitalization in Corporate Sustainability Ratings (ISS-Oekom).
Do classical ethical, social and environmental criteria fail in the task of capturing the nature and impact of such enterprises? Which evaluation criteria and evaluation processes are suitable for practice?
