Please note: The official conference language will be English.

In September 2015 the UN member states adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with the aim of contributing to a fairer and more sustainable world. The 17 SDG indicators were formulated with the participation of a wide range of relevant stakeholders – including the private sector – and are therefore ascribed a high level of legitimacy. They want to encourage a process of transformation towards a more sustainable economy in both the global South and North. For the private sector, one of the challenges is to determine what the concrete role of business for implementing the SDGs could be.

The two-day ASA-Kaleidoskop 2016 is aimed at international stakeholders in the area of sustainable business and participants from the ASA network.

It will offer a platform for participants from different backgrounds and geographic regions to share their experiences and discuss the following questions:

  • What are the challenges and enabling conditions for sustainability in the different world regions, and what opportunities for the private sector arise through the SDGs?
  • How can the private sector contribute to reaching a sustainable global development as intended by the SDGs? What can we learn from already existing business experiences from the global North and South?
  • How can an equal exchange and long-term cooperation between South and North be fostered?

In the afternoon of November 19, there will be a market place where sustainability projects and initiatives can present their work and network with other participants. If you would like to present your project, please contact us.
