  1. Profit vs. Purpose: Is There a Real Trade-off?

    24. FEB.

    Profit vs. Purpose: Is There a Real Trade-off?

    In this fundamental debate, a public value advocate (Prof. Dr. Timo Meynhardt) and a financial expert (Prof. Dr. Henning Zülch) face off to explore whether social impact and shareholder returns are fundamentally at odds. They scrutinize the validity of ESG metrics, ask if purpose is becoming mere marketing rhetoric, and discuss how leaders can avoid the trap of purpose-washing. Finally, they leave the status quo behind to place their future bets on how the tension between profit and purpose will evolve over the next decade.
