Symposium 2023: Sustainability and Smart Regulation in the Crisis - Crisis of Sustainability?
The Smart Regulation Symposium 2023 dealt with current regulatory topics on sustainability in times of crisis. Climate change requires smart regulation of the energy sector, which has become even more urgent as a result of the war in Ukraine. War and the pandemic have disrupted global supply chains, highlighting the importance of sustainability and resilience in the logistics sector. The state has provided extensive aid to households and companies, the sustainability of which is unclear. Reporting obligations can make an important contribution to regulation in this context if they are designed smartly. However, the effects of sustainability reporting on the behavior of companies are still unclear.
