*** The Post conference 'Press Release' is now available ***
The power of stakeholders has increased dramatically in the last decade. However, the stakeholder management structures of corporations have not kept pace with this development. Thus, organizations in the 21st century have to find strategies to build effective relationships with their stakeholders and thereby to contribute to sustainable development. Not doing so runs the risk of losing their societal legitimacy, their “licence to operate”.
At this conference, representatives from corporate business, politics, academia, and civil society discss the latest developments in stakeholder relations practice. Please see here for more information or here for the event flyer.
