Publikation The EU's common agriculture policy and sustainable farming: a statement by scientists(European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), 2020) Pe'er, Guy; Lakner, Sebastian; Seppelt, Ralf; Bezák, Peter; Bonn, Aletta; Concepción, Elena D.; Creutzig, Felix; Daub, Claus-Heinrich; Díaz, Mario; Dieker, Petra; Eisenhauer, Nico; Hagedorn, Gregor; Hansjürgens, Bernd; Harrer-Puchner, Gabriele; Herzon, Irina; Hickler, Thomas; Jetzkowitz, Jens; Kazakova, Yanka; Kindlmann, Pavel; Kirchner, Mathias; Klein, Alexandra-Maria; Linow, Sven; Lomba, Ângela; López-Bao, José Vicente; Metta, Matteo; Morales, Manuel B.; Moreira, Francisco; Mupepele, Anne-Christine; Navarro, Alberto; Oppermann, Rainer; Rac, Ilona; Röder, Norbert; Schäfer, Martina; Sirami, Clelia; Streck, Charlotte; Šumrada, Tanja; Tielbörger, Katja; Underberg, Emil; Wagener-Lohse, Georg; Baumann, FranzThe European Union’s (EU) Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) still fails to address the environmental and socioeconomic challenges of EU’s agriculture. Agricultural ecosystems are further degrading, biodiversity is declining and agricultural Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions remain high. At the same time, farms are facing unresolved socio-economic challenges and rural areas struggle to remain viable. Knowledge, data, instruments and resources to address sustainability challenges are readily available. Missing is the CAP’s appropriate design as well as prioritization, and the indispensable political will to improve these.05 - Forschungs- oder ArbeitsberichtPublikation Klimaverträgliche Energieversorgung für Deutschland – 16 Orientierungspunkte(Scientists for Future Germany, 2021) Gerhards, Christoph; Weber, Urban; Klafka, Peter; Golla, Stefan; Hagedorn, Gregor; Baumann, Franz; Brendel, Heiko; Breyer, Christian; Clausen, Jens; Creutzig, Felix; Daub, Claus-Heinrich; Helgenberger, Sebastian; Hentschel, Karl-Martin; Hirschhausen, Christian von; Jordan, Ulrike; Kemfert, Claudia; Krause, Harald; Linow, Sven; Oei, Pao-Yu; Pehnt, Martin; Pfennig, Andreas; Präger, Fabian; Quaschning, Volker; Schneider, Jens; Spindler, Uli; Stelzer, Volker; Sterner, Michael; Wagener-Lohse, Georg; Weinsziehr, TheresaAls fairer Beitrag Deutschlands zur Einhaltung der globalen 1,5-Grad-Grenze werden 16 Orientierungspunkte für eine klimaverträgliche Energieversorgung vorgestellt. Es wird davon ausgegangen, dass hierfür die deutschen energiebedingten CO2-Emissionen in etwa 15 Jahren weitgehend auf Null sinken müssen. Energieeinsparung hilft, den notwendigen Ausbau von regenerativen Erzeugungskapazitäten zu verringern. Der Verkehrssektor kann ebenso wie die Bereiche Prozess- und Gebäudewärme hierzu wesentlich beitragen. Die Nutzung von Kernenergie ist mit großen Risiken belastet und kann nicht hinreichend schnell aufgebaut werden. Biomasse in Form von Energiepflanzen zu nutzen, ist ineffizient und steht im Konflikt mit anderen Arten der Landnutzung.05 - Forschungs- oder ArbeitsberichtPublikation Essento insect food AG: how edible insects evolved from an infringement into a sustainable business model(SAGE, 2021) Daub, Claus-Heinrich; Gerhard, CaroleThis case tells the story of the start-up Essento, which develops, produces and markets insect-based foods, and the nascent sustainable entrepreneur behind the company. Essento contributed significantly to shaping the legal basis for the consumption of edible insects in Switzerland and rises to the challenge of creating an entirely new market and lacking customer acceptance.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation Solutions for SMEs challenged by CSR: a multiple cases approach in the food industry within the DACH-Region(MDPI, 2019) Elford, Angélique Catharina; Daub, Claus-HeinrichAntecedent research has recognized a difference in the participation in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices between big companies and small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Certain characteristics of SMEs create challenges which influence the manner with which they treat the CSR topic. However, literature has failed to provide solutions as to how these challenges can successfully be overcome or avoided by SMEs. In an attempt to contribute to these solutions, this paper explores the reasons why some SMEs face challenges as well as how such problems can be mastered. Furthermore, this article provides input that could encourage more SMEs to incorporate CSR practices into their business strategies. The research follows a qualitative approach; data being collected in 2018 through a total of 12 interviews with managers of SMEs in the food industry within the DACH-region as well as with experts in the field of study. The paper reveals that if the managers and owners of SMEs become committed towards CSR and if sufficient resources are allocated and advice on how to implement CSR is obtained, the opportunity certainly exists to persuade larger numbers of SMEs to adopt CSR practices as a core company strategy.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation Universities talk, students walk: promoting innovative sustainability projects(Emerald, 2020) Daub, Claus-Heinrich; Hasler, Marina; Verkuil, Arie Hans; Milow, UtaThe paper aims to describe an innovative approach of integrating sustainability into the structures and processes of a business school without creating resistance. The paper outlines aspects that need to be considered and steps that need to be taken to run a sustainable entrepreneurship competition supporting as many high-quality projects as possible. It describes the importance of developing an independent instrument that meets the specific needs of sustainable entrepreneurs in project planning. The sustainable innovation plan is explained.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation Start-up incubators for refugees. How to develop and deploy entrepreneurial skills to generate impact(Academic Conferences International Limited, 2022) Hinz, Andreas; Daub, Claus-Heinrich; Sklias, Pantelis; Apostolopoulos, NikolaosRefugee entrepreneurs play an increasingly important role in the ecosystem. However, they may find themselves unable to use their potential because they lack relevant skills, encounter language barriers, have weak local networks and deal with personal problems. Start-up incubators for refugees address these challenges by offering programmes that empower them to develop and deploy entrepreneurial skills for business creation. This work-in-progress paper presents initial insights on skill-related programme elements which will be extended into a detailed analysis of resulting types of economic impact.04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation Challenges of implementing zero waste strategies in the gastronomy industry(2021) Daub, Claus-Heinrich; Gerhard, Carole; Altermatt, Monisser; Gerber, Aurona; Hinkelmann, KnutThis case tells the story of the Café spurlos which aims at becoming a zero waste business and thus making a significant contribution to combating one of the greatest challenges facing society today: the transformation of the eco-nomic system into a circular economy. Besides the COVID-crisis and the thereof resulting issues, the café also faces challenges related to its vision of incorporat-ing the zero waste philosophy in its concept. The case explores the complexity of zero waste, analyses further hurdles for zero waste endeavors in the gastronomy industry and illustrates the constant balancing act of social businesses between staying true to one’s mission and catering to the needs, wants and expectations of the market.04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation The role of Corporate Social Responsibility in the decision-making process of consumers in Ukraine(Business Perspectives, 2021) Lobachevska, Ganna; Daub, Claus-HeinrichThis paper aims to investigate the impact of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) companies on consumer buying behavior in the Ukrainian market. The qualitative data for this study were collected with the help of semi-structured interviews conducted with a total of 10 respondents, including 5 Ukrainian consumers (with different levels of responsible consumption adoption) and 5 CSR experts from FMCG companies located in Ukraine (both local and global; with CSR adoption level varying from low to well-developed). The data obtained for this study revealed that the level of consumer awareness about CSR in Ukraine is still low. However, the level of awareness and the actual consumption of responsible products are constantly growing. The results also show that Ukrainian consumers who already have some level of awareness about CSR perceive CSR communication as more credible when it does not originate from the company directly or is endorsed by a third party. At the same time, interviewed experts stated that to raise awareness among the wider population, FMCG companies have to communicate their CSR achievements directly and massively. Ukrainian consumers are mostly impacted by the product-related CSR type, such as bio-ingredients and sustainable packaging. Price premium for responsible products is the key factor that causes the “intention-behavior gap” in Ukraine. Practitioners from the FMCG industry in Ukraine may use the information provided by this study to shape their CSR strategies, which will allow them to cater to societal demands and, as a result, impact consumer buying behavior.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation The concerns of the young protesters are justified. A statement by Scientists for Future concerning the protests for more climate protection(oekom, 2019) Hagedorn, Gregor; Loew, Thomas; Seneviratne, Sonia I.; Lucht, Wolfgang; Beck, Marie-Luise; Hesse, Janina; Knutti, Reto; Quaschning, Volker; Schleimer, Jan-Hendrik; Mattauch, Linus; Breyer, Christian; Hübener, Heike; Kirchengast, Gottfried; Chodura, Alice; Clausen, Jens; Creutzig, Felix; Darbi, Marianne; Daub, Claus-Heinrich; Ekardt, Felix; Göpel, Maja; Hardt, Judith N.; Hertin, Julia; Hickler, Thomas; Köhncke, Arnulf; Köster, Stephan; Krohmer, Julia; Kromp-Kolb, Helga; Leinfelder, Reinhold; Mederake, Linda; Neuhaus, Michael; Rahmstorf, Stefan; Schmidt, Christine; Schneider, Christoph; Schneider, Gerhard; Seppelt, Ralf; Spindler, Uli; Springmann, Marco; Staab, Katharina; Stocker, Thomas F.; Steininger, Karl; von Hirschhausen, Eckart; Winter, Susanne; Wittau, Martin; Zens, JosefIn March 2019, German-speaking scientists and scholars calling themselves Scientists for Future, published a statement in support of the youth protesters in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (Fridays for Future, Klimastreik/Climate Strike), verifying the scientific evidence that the youth protestors refer to. In this article, they provide the full text of the statement, including the list of supporting facts (in both English and German) as well as an analysis of the results and impacts of the statement. Furthermore, they reflect on the challenges for scientists and scholars who feel a dual responsibility: on the one hand, to remain independent and politically neutral, and, on the other hand, to inform and warn societies of the dangers that lie ahead.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation Novartis: Demonstrating Leadership through Emissions Reductions(Greenleaf Publishing, 01.11.2008) Mathews, Helen; Daub, Claus-Heinrich; Sullivan, RoryThis chapter analyses the reasons for Novartiss voluntary commitment to significantly reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. It explores firstly the background to the corporate feeling of a moral imperative to reduce emissions. The wide range of internal measures taken to achieve the reduction target are then discussed, along with the challenges of implementing them in a decentralised firm. These internal measures include energy efficiency improvements, raising employees energy awareness and transitioning to a cleaner car fleet. As internal emission reductions are projected to be insufficient to achieve the target in the given time-frame, investments have also been made in external emission reduction projects. The chapter concludes that the implementation of the voluntary target may have increased shareholder value by lowering employee turnover, improving reputation, lowering exposure to future costs of carbon and lowering the cost of capital. Improvements in data capture systems are required to accurately quantify these effects.04A - Beitrag Sammelband
