Nachhaltige Entwicklung: Grundlage einer neuen Wirtschaftsethik

Dietzfelbinger, Daniel / Thurm, Ralph (Eds.): Nachhaltige

As editors of the book, Daniel Dietzfelbinger and Ralph Thurm examine the question whether sustainable development can or should be used as a basis for business ethics. This was also the main issue discussed at the 10th conference of the German Network of Business Ethics (DNWF.) in April 2003. Like the umbrella organisation, the European Business Ethics Network (EBEN) situated in Oslo, the DNWE wants to promote values-based management, ethical leadership and increased awareness of companies' responsibility in society.

More than 150 participants attended the conference, which was divided into plenary sessions and four workshop tracks. Dietzfelbinger and Thurm selected 13 articles from the conference for the 12th DNWE publication series with the title "Sustainable Development: Basis of a new Business Ethic". The focus of the articles in this book is how to realize sustainable development in business practice.
