Brief description

Sustainability is not a fixed state but a process – a process in which all social groups can participate. Open communication and the involvement of stakeholders in decision-making processes are thus the basis for sustainable development – whether in politics, corporations or civil society. The IÖW shapes and moderates dialogue processes and assesses corporate sustainability communication.

Nor does it stop at its own front door. In our research projects we work closely with partners from the practical sphere and communicate the results of our research through diverse channels – from traditional print products and different event formats to the new media.
