Principles for Responsible Management Education at the Faculty

Based on our PRME membership we follow the PRME principles and share information on our progress continuously. Below you can see the faculty activities and the progress achieved from June 2025 to July 2026 (started from May 2018).

Principle 1 | Purpose: We advance responsible management education to foster inclusive prosperity in a world of thriving ecosystems.

The Faculty of Economics and Business Administration understands its purpose as educating students who are capable of making responsible, evidence-based and ethically informed decisions in complex economic and organizational contexts. Through teaching, research, transfer and institutional practice, the Faculty seeks to contribute to inclusive prosperity, social justice and the preservation and regeneration of ecological systems. Responsible management is understood as management that considers the long-term consequences of organizational decisions for employees, communities, future generations and natural ecosystems, while acknowledging trade-offs between economic, environmental and social objectives. The Faculty promotes an understanding of prosperity that goes beyond economic growth and includes social participation, decent work, distributive justice, human well-being and the protection of ecological foundations. To implement this purpose, the Faculty aims to integrate responsible management across its degree programmes, strengthen sustainability-related competencies among students and staff, promote interdisciplinary research and contribute to the sustainable transformation of the Chemnitz region and beyond. Graduates should be able to identify the social and environmental consequences of management decisions, critically assess conflicting objectives, engage diverse stakeholders and develop solutions that create long-term value for organizations, society and the natural environment.
Chemnitz University of Technology successfully completed the German Rectors’ Conference (HRK) pilot audit “Sustainability at Higher Education Institutions” in June 2026. As one of only four German higher education institutions selected from more than 60 applicants, the University participated in an intensive process of institutional self-reflection and external assessment. The audit examined how sustainability is embedded across research, teaching, knowledge transfer, administration and campus operations. It confirmed that sustainability is already established as an important cross-cutting topic, while also identifying the need to better connect existing activities, clarify responsibilities and interfaces, and increase their visibility. The findings are being incorporated into the University’s sustainability strategy, which is intended to provide a shared framework for coordinating future action. The audit therefore supports the University and the Faculty in translating their commitment to responsible management education into a coherent, institution-wide purpose and long-term transformation process.
Sustainability is a key topic expressed by the university’s sustainability mission statement as well as in research and teaching in our faculty.
The TU Chemnitz launched its first sustainability report in February 2022 by applying a whole-institution approach, meaning integrating students from different faculties, organizational members from administration, research and cooperative institutions, e.g. student union. A main goal is to address the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and initiate a system-wide transformational process towards sustainability.
Students and all organisational members are able to engage in the Task Force Sustainability for incorporating sustainability in academia and value transformation towards sustainability as well as for a sustainable campus development. It was a fixed format for interdisciplinary discussion on how we can make processes at the university more sustainable.
The joint project TRAFOSax of several Saxon universities supports the promotion of factors that support the implementation of ESD at the TU Chemnitz, by e. g. organizing workshops for teaching staff about ESD, including discussions on the implementation of such.

Principle 2 | Values: We place organizational responsibility and accountability to society and the planet at the core of what we do.

The Faculty’s approach to responsible management education is guided by the values of human dignity, integrity, transparency, academic freedom, social justice, inclusion, ecological responsibility, intergenerational equity and accountability. The Faculty’s understanding of organizational responsibility is aligned with the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. These values inform teaching, research, partnerships, governance and engagement with society. Academic integrity, transparent decision-making and the prevention of corruption and conflicts of interest are fundamental to the Faculty’s understanding of responsible conduct. These principles apply to teaching, assessment, research, third-party funding and cooperation with external partners. The Faculty is committed to respecting human rights, promoting decent work and safeguarding equal opportunities. This includes preventing discrimination, harassment and sexualized violence and fostering a working and learning environment based on dignity, respect and participation. Responsibility for implementing these values is shared among Faculty leadership, academic and administrative staff, students and relevant committees. Progress is discussed in faculty and university bodies and communicated through sustainability reporting and the PRME SIP process. Students are encouraged to participate in the development of responsible management education through course evaluations, student representation, project-based learning, sustainability initiatives and dialogue with lecturers and Faculty leadership.
There is ongoing dialogue within the faculty and between the faculty and the university management as well as the State Ministry of Science and the Arts (SMWK) to reflect, discuss and embed specific sustainability issues as well as ongoing change towards more sustainability in the university and its practices.
Since 2019, an academia-wide process has been initiated to progress sustainability in and beyond academia. In line with the Sustainability Code sustainability is reflected and incorporated on the levels strategy, governance, research, teaching, administration, process and operation, etc. There are ongoing initiatives to extend bike mobility, sustainable purchase, sustainable energy and becoming a fair-trade university. Sustainable purchasing guidelines have been implemented since 2023 and bicycle mobility has been expanded. The university has installed flowering meadows and actively participates in the annual German Sustainability Action Days / European Sustainability Week. Moreover, there is a university-wide transfer platform offering discarded inventory of the university for internal use. This avoids new acquisitions and unnecessary waste.
The university’s sustainability mission statement is guiding teaching, research, administration and transfer.
There are recommendations towards strengthening sustainable procurement and selected sustainability topics to enhance sustainability in academia in a sustainability blog.
Since 2024, the TUC has successfully obtained certification in the “Shaping Diversity” diversity audit and stands for tolerance, mutual respect and non-discrimination.
Several Workshops for Lecturers in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) were conducted to enable lecturers to actively integrate Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) into their teaching practice and to enhance sustainability competencies among teaching staff.
Handbook on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD): A comprehensive handbook for lecturers at Chemnitz University of Technology was developed. It provides guidance and best practices for embedding ESD into higher education teaching and serves as a practical tool for fostering sustainability in university education.
Our aim is to infuse our academic endeavors, curricula, and operational methods with the ethos of global social responsibility, drawing inspiration from esteemed international initiatives like the United Nations Global Compact. By incorporating the values of global social responsibility into our education and practices, we prepare students to become responsible and conscientious people who contribute positively to both business success and societal well-being on a global scale.

Principle 3 | Teach: We transform our learning environments by integrating responsible management concepts and practices into our curriculum and pedagogy.

The Faculty is working towards systematically mapping sustainability and responsible management content across its degree programmes in order to identify strengths, overlaps and remaining gaps. We follow Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) aiming at the development of both knowledge about sustainable behavior and the skills and methods to implement it within a learner-teacher relationship. The United Nations emphasizes the importance of education for a transformation towards sustainability. The Agenda 2030, the national sustainability strategy, the Saxon Sustainability Strategy and the Saxon State Strategy on Education for Sustainable Development strengthen the broad and deep anchoring of sustainability and sustainability skills in all educational institutions. As Chemnitz University of Technology, we contribute to this by integrating ESD in a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary ways, for example in Lecture and exercise courses, colloquia, seminars, practical collaborations and student projects. In particular, the Studium Generale enables an interdisciplinary approach.
We are constantly developing our degree programs. For example, in addition to the cross-sectional integration of sustainability in the respective modules, Business Administration (B.Sc.) has explicitly anchored sustainability and responsibility in the minor and major.
There is a vivid integration of sustainability in lectures, courses, seminars and workshops, e.g.
- Establishment of a faculty-wide module "Responsible Decision-Making" in the Business Administration (B.Sc.) addressing ethical and fact-based decisions in all areas of business management and economics.
- The Chair of Business Taxation and Auditing teaches standards of fair taxation, the principle of trust in tax law, proper accounting, and thus addresses issues of environmental, social and economic sustainability in lectures and seminars as well as in students’ projects, i.e. with respect to tax incentives for climate-friendly energy use in buildings and mobility.
- The Chair of International Accounting and Auditing addresses issues of environmental, social and economic sustainability in lectures and seminars as well as in students’ projects. The courses address topics as sustainability reporting requirements of PIEs in the European Union, measurement of environmental, social and governance disclosures of PIEs and the assurance engagements on sustainability information (ISSA 5000). In addition, the chair supervises students’ projects on several topics concerning scope and quality of environmental and social reporting requirements.
- The Chair of Management Accounting and Control addresses issues of sustainability and instruments like Material Flow Cost Accounting among others in the courses Life Cycle Engineering, Life Cycle-oriented Management, Sustainability Controlling and IT-supported evaluation of material flows and process chains. Numerous (group work) projects, interactive learning formats (e.g. the SDG based simulation game "Sustain 2030"), seminars and theses which deal with the evaluation of ecological, economic and social sustainability are a constant part of the teaching portfolio of the Chair.
- The Chair of Banking and Corporate Finance integrates a variety of sustainability topics in its bachelor and master lectures and seminars, e.g. Sustainable Finance or sustainability in asset management processes. The Seminar Energy & Climate Finance covers a wide range of topics on risks associated with climate change. Biodiversity loss is addressed from a business perspective and financial tools to dampen and reverse its impact are discussed.
- Various courses (lectures, tutorials, seminars, and student projects) of the Chair of Organization and International Management deal with issues of ecological, social, and economic sustainability in organizational contexts and related problems such as climate change, responsible consumption, gender inequality, discrimination, precariousness, and decent work. In the courses, especially in the tutorials and seminars, students are encouraged to critically reflect on their own as well as others' actions, to identify existing problems in organizations, and to reflect on the relationship between organizational theory and societal 'grand challenges'.
- The Chair of Human Resource Management and Leadership Studies integrates issues of environmental, economic and social sustainability in lectures, tutorials, seminars and student projects. Our courses address topics such as environmental and social sustainability in human resource management (green HRM, socially responsible HRM, sustainable HRM, and common good HRM), leadership (leadership development, meaningful leadership, ethical leadership, leadership and gender) as well as meaningful work. In addition, the Chair supervises student projects on topics such as sustainable HRM or employee well-being. We also supervise Bachelor’s and Master’s theses on sustainability-related topics, often in collaboration with practice partners. Recent thesis topics include sustainable human resource management, intersectionality in the workplace, meaningful work, meaningful leadership, abusive and ethical leadership, inclusive leadership etc.
- The Chair of Production and Industrial Management discusses challenges of environmental, economic as well as social sustainability in student projects, seminars, tutorials and lectures. The course “Energy and resource-oriented Operations Management” deals with numerous decision problems regarding strategic and operational aspects of sustainable production. In lectures on “Production and Logistics” students get to know principles of Material Flow Analysis and Life Cycle Assessment. Different Lectures on “Strategic operations Management” and “Operations Research” deal with challenges and methods in multi-criteria decision making (Multi-attribute as well as multi-objective decision making) considering all pillars of sustainability. In addition, the chair supervises students’ projects on topics like waste- and emission reduction, energy management, integration of renewable energies, but also on social aspects like human-related, ergonomics-oriented production system design and production scheduling.
- The Chair of Corporate Environmental Management and Sustainability offers a variety and range of courses and learning formats. The Chair develops and implements interactive courses as well as agile methods (e.g. systemic structural constellations, interactive scenario development) particularly aiming at a holistic view and independently solving of complex sustainability contexts strictly following ESD competencies. PraxisSDG is a cross-university seminar including partners from business, administration and municipality in learning contexts. Moreover, it continuously integrates practical lectures into the teaching process. The development of courses including materials that support alternative learning habits, environments, and E-Learning formats, using innovative programs and tools, is part of the digitization strategy of the professorship. The toolbox Sustainability virtual is one outcome. Moreover, combining sustainability and digitisation as well as developing sustainable future instructional design taking rebound effects into account academia-wide perspectives were investigated and discussed. A series of posters addressing common myths and prejudices regarding sustainability topics supports ESD for students and staff. At the Terra Nova Campus in Chemnitz, the Chair organized an interactive stand that playfully introduced children to sustainable actions in everyday life and encouraged them to reflect on their own daily habits. As part of the NIBTEX project, trainers and business owners participated in a multi-day workshop on sustainability and education for sustainable development in the textile industry. To better illustrate sustainability, we created various posters that provide a comprehensive overview of the topic.
- The Chair of Innovation Research and Technology Management offers various lectures and seminars, like Management of Sustainability Innovations in the course Technology and Innovation Management: Introduction, Lecture on Technology Assessment and Design of Technology for a Sustainable Development in the course Technology Management, Corporate Social Responsibility in the lecture series Strategic Management or the integration of sustainability topics in the seminar Innovation Research. In the exercise accompanying the lecture “Innovation and Consulting”, students are encouraged to tackle everyday challenges with a sustainability reference by applying creative problem‐solving and design thinking methods. Through the project “Lernbrücke Chemnitz–Lviv 2025” within the programme “Ukraine digital” and the project “Entrepreneurship - Managing Start-Ups and Innovation” with a focus on Social Entrepreneurship as part the “CLiK Bridge: Innovative Lehre, Forschung und Hochschulmanagement für nachhaltige deutsch-ukrainische Zusammenarbeit und Wiederaufbau der Ukraine” we maintain an ongoing academic transfer with the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv and the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv in order to jointly develop and promote responsible and sustainable management education. The 16th AAE Summer School with the motto “Investigating the interrelation of culture, creativity, innovation and sustainable development in the age of disruption“, held at the TU Chemnitz together with the ICN Business School in Berlin, Germany from 18th until 29th of March 2025 supported intercultural learning and teaching in sustainable development.
- The Chair of Marketing applies educational frameworks, materials, processes, and learning environments that foster effective learning experiences and cultivate responsible leadership. In addition, social and environmental aspects are integrated as key content areas within existing courses and lectures (e.g., responsible management of customer data in online marketing, sustainable consumer behaviour, sustainability marketing, and ethical consumption).
- The Chair of Information Systems – Business Process and Information Management offers several courses which cover various topics of sustainability, ethics, etc. in the context of digital transformation, big data, business analytics and artificial intelligence, For example, in the course "information management" the students gain data literacy skills emphasizing the responsible and ethical use of data.
- The Chair of Information Systems and Business Analytics integrates responsible and explainable AI concepts into its core courses (e.g., Data Mining, Data Engineering, Management of AI, and Design of Decision Systems), emphasizing transparent, human-centred decision support rather than black-box automation. Students engage with explainable AI (XAI) methods for decision-making in application domains such as energy systems, where responsible model design directly affects real-world outcomes (e.g. electricity grid operation, investment decisions).
- The Chair of Private Law and Intellectual Property Rights incorporates sustainability-related topics into its teaching. For example, obligations and responsibilities within supply chains are covered in the lecture ‘International Business Law’. Sustainability in the context of artificial intelligence and its applications (e.g. autonomous driving, blockchain, quantum computing) is explored in greater depth in the course ‘Law and Technology / Technology Law’.
- The Chair of Public Law offers several courses that address central contemporary sustainability issues. The course on "Business and Human Rights" focuses on human rights obligations of corporations across global supply chains, thereby encouraging fair economic development and environmental sustainability. Building on that course, the practice-oriented project "Business and Human Rights: Designing Corporate Human Rights Due Diligence" has students work in groups throughout the semester to develop a practical due-diligence instrument, thereby transferring regulatory requirements into a real corporate context and combining knowledge of corporate human rights responsibility with applied professional skills. The course on "International Economic Law" analyzes, amongst others, how the current legal framework of international trade can be harmonized with environmental sustainability. The course on "International Economic Law" analyzes, amongst others, how the current legal framework of international trade can be harmonized with environmental sustainability. The course on "Global AI Law" examines how the emerging regulatory frameworks for artificial intelligence — in the EU, the US and China as well as under public international law — can ensure that AI is developed and deployed in a responsible and sustainable manner, in conformity with fundamental rights. The Chair is also offering courses in Foundations of Energy Law, and Renewable Energy Law.
- The Chair of Economic Policy addresses negative externalities, the European Emission Trading System (ETS) and the European Green Deal in a lecture and in seminars.
- The Chair of Macroeconomics offers various lectures and seminars, like Environmental and Resource Economics and Climate Economics. In addition, a seminar on the 2025 World Climate Conference took place.
- The Chair of Economics offered a dynamic range of courses that align closely with the department's commitment to integrating responsible management practices into its curriculum, e.g. "Advanced Seminar in Ecological Economics Research" and "Economics of Climate Change and Sustainable Finance," focus on sustainable and ecological economics, directly supporting the mission to educate students on the critical intersection of environmental and economic issues. The inclusion of "Agent-Based and Behavioral Macroeconomics" and "Topics and Methods in Sustainable Macro-Finance Research" further illustrates a curriculum that not only addresses complex economic theories but also trains students to consider the broader societal impacts of economic practices. These courses are structured to enhance students' understanding of sustainable finance and responsible economic management, which is essential for fostering a deeper awareness of global challenges and the development of solutions that promote long-term sustainability and ethical management in economics.
- The Chair of Empirical Economics integrates the topics of environmental, social, and economic sustainability into its lectures and tutorials. Students gain the knowledge and skills needed to apply empirical methods to investigate these critical issues.
- The Junior Professorship of International Economics, especially Europe, integrates sustainability-related aspects into the course “European Economics I”. A chapter on EU trade and environmental policy examines how climate objectives are incorporated into the EU’s external economic strategy and its concept of open strategic autonomy.
- The transdisciplinary faculty-wide seminar Business and Economy meets Science (Wirtschaft meets Wissenschaft) enables students to work scientifically on specific business problems together with company representatives applying vivid and divers learning formats.
The American African European (AAE) Summer and Winter Schools are proposed as an interdisciplinary and intercultural study program for Master- and PhD-students of the four participating universities: University of KwaZulu-Natal in Durban, South Africa (UKZN; School of Management, Information Technology and Governance), the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa (Wits; School of Economic & Business Sciences), and the Technische Universität Chemnitz (Faculty of Business Administration and Economics), and the ICN Business School in Nancy, France (ICN, School of Management, Technology and Art). The topics such as “Sustainability”, “Responsible Management“ or “Intercultural and Organizational Communication“ link collaborative teaching and research interests of the four universities as well as their current regional challenges of society and economy. The Summer and Winter Schools take place at the locations of the institutions participating, alternating annually.
With the project Joint Expertise we aim to form a multi-level, permanent and academic cooperation in responsible, sustainable and global aware management education and practice especially for master and doctoral students between the University of Technology Chemnitz, Faculty of Economics and Business Administration and the University of Kwazulu-Natal (UKZN), School of Management, IT and Governance.

Principle 4 | Research: We study people, organizations, institutions, and the state of the world to inspire responsible management and education practice.

Due to disciplinary and interdisciplinary research in the faculty innovative solutions are developed for regional economy and society and beyond – always focusing on the faculty’s core research areas as sustainability. There is a vivid research culture around sustainability topics represented in contributions to conferences, papers as well as discussions in PhD workshops.
The Chemnitz Economic Research Seminar regularly hosts talks on topics relevant for PRME goals, especially on the economics of the green energy transition as well as green finance and climate risks. The audience includes both researchers and students and members of the general public.
The Chair of Organization and International Management conducts empirical research on sufficiency among management researchers, gender implications at higher education institutions in Germany, institutionalization of sustainable research data management, stigmatization of temporary agency workers, participation in cooperatives, and marginalized entrepreneurships. Studies were presented at the Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management, the International Sustainable Development Research Society (ISDRS) Conference, and the Congress for Work, Organizational, and Economic Psychology and Human Factors. In addition, students' projects on sustainability management at Siemens Energy, participation in organisations, and new modes of work in various companies are carried out and supervised by the staff of the Chair.
The Chair of Business Taxation and Auditing pursued an international project on tax morale.
The Chair of International Accounting and Auditing conducts empirical research on sustainability reporting quality by European PIEs. Furthermore, a dissertation on the design and further development of ESG reporting in the Arab world (especially main members of the OPEC) was completed.
The chair of Management Accounting and Control was and is involved in several interdisciplinary projects addressing issues of sustainability: e.g. „Education4Rail“ as a project of the “Smart Rail Connectivity Campus” (SRCC), “Evaluation and control of sustainable business models for smart composites” (2BEsmart_R) and the young researcher group "Combination of FEM and methods of LCE for sustainable material selection and automated AI-controlled preform-manufacturing of fiber-plastic composites” (autoPre), funded by the European Social Fonds ESF and the Free State of Saxony.
The Chair of Banking and Corporate Finance analyses climate and energy-transition risks, geopolitical shocks, and macroprudential spillovers, spanning green investment, ESG performance, sovereign and industry-bond connectedness, EU ETS dynamics, and rural energy poverty. Methodologically, the Chair employs machine learning and explainable AI to enhance transparency and replicability. The findings equip regulators, investors, and firms with actionable insights to manage risk, allocate capital responsibly, and craft effective policies, strengthening market resilience and aligning financial decision-making with sustainable development goals. The Chair is currently involved in a European research project and bid for funding on Biodiversity, risks associated with its loss, and the design of financial instruments needed to manage and to reduce these risks.
The Chair of Human Resource Management and Leadership Studies addresses sustainability-related topics in various research projects. For example, we are using a qualitative empirical research approach to investigate the design and role of sustainable HRM systems in small- and medium-sized family businesses. Another qualitative empirical research project examines how leaders in remote work contexts can foster and sustain employees' sense of meaningful work. Findings from these studies were presented at the EURAM (European Academy of Management) Conference 2022, the EGOS (European Group for Organization Studies) Colloquium 2022 and 2023 as well as the Workshop of the Commission “Personnel Management” 2022 and 2023. More recently, we presented our research at the 4th International Common Good HRM Conference in 2026.
The Chair of Innovation Research and Technology Management initiated and carried out several research projects linking to sustainability: e.g. “Sustainability of Mobility” (NaMo), funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research; “ReFoSocI” - Regional focus groups and “QuaSiSocI – Qualitätssicherung bei sozialen Innovationen “ for social innovations in Saxony; and sustainability research projects in the Management & Organisation Studies and Business Engineering.
The Chair of Corporate Environmental Management and Sustainability initiates joint projects with diverse stakeholders progressing circularity, sustainable transformation and cultural change; and engages in the international network ISDRS. In addition, the chair pursues a broad research agenda within the field of sustainability, conducting projects on circular economy, the textile industry, carbon fiber recycling, hydrogen, electronic industry, responsible electronics, biogenic production plants and injection molding as well as ESD. The results are presented at national and international scientific conferences, including the NAMA Conference, the ISDRS Conference, and the EURAM Conference, as well as at multi-stakeholder conferences to strengthen knowledge transfer between research and practice and support the broader discussion on sustainability-related topics. For example, a presentation on adult education and education for sustainable development was given at one of Germany’s largest textile conferences, the VDTF.
The Chair of Information Systems – Business Process and Information Management addresses in research projects various PRME related topics in the context of digital transformation. For example, in the recent project DIONA a broad range of research questions about the digital circular economy (CE) has been investigated and a digital hub as well as a cyber-physical lab have been set up to foster information exchange and collaboration between CE stakeholders and to enable especially SMEs for CE. The lab is now in operation and can be used for collaboration with industry, for research and for teaching. In addition, topics of sustainability and the interplay of humans and digital twins / actors (e.g. in processes) are subject to research.
The Chair of Information Systems and Business Analytics conducts research on ML/AI for energy systems and explainable AI-based decision support, focusing on human-AI interaction and how AI-driven recommendations affect human decision-making, e.g. on the group mind of hybrid teams with humans and intelligent agents and on procedural justice and the limits of explanations in human-AI decision-making, presented at ECIS 2026. In the energy domain, the Chair develops explainable deep learning models for electricity price prediction and validated explainer methods for numerical forecasting, and investigates how dynamic electricity tariffs affect the economics of residential PV-battery systems. A full list of publications is available on the Chair's publications page.
The Chair of Public Law conducts research on the international adjudication of climate change, more broadly reflecting upon the role of law and legal institutions such as international courts in building a more sustainable world. The Chair also conducts research in the field of business and human rights, exploring how the economic activity of transnational corporations can be aligned with human rights and sustainable development.
The Chair of Private Law and Intellectual Property Rights concerns how blockchain technology can make a significant contribution to a sustainable economy and society, such as responsibility in circular economy processes or the legal support of energy and emissions trading. Particularly in the context of the supply chain law, blockchain technology can help companies to comply their corporate obligations. In the area of emissions trading, blockchain technology in conjunction with the Internet of Things (IoT) and the tokenisation of machines, raw materials, but also CO₂, ensures sustainable use of existing resources and can thus make a significant contribution to environmental sustainability. Furthermore, the legally compliant implementation of sustainable work processes is addressed, especially in the transformation of work. The focus here is on the implementation of sustainable remuneration and working time models as well as the legally required compliance systems, including the design of reporting and complaint procedures, which are to be established mandatory with the implementation of the EU Whistleblowing Directive.
The professorship also deals with supply chain legislation and the question of how the obligations and resulting responsibilities in supply chains can be implemented in the corporate organization in a legally compliant manner. To this end, the research also includes the content that arises in discussions in the countries at the end of this value chain, such as the raw material suppliers from Mongolia. After all, responsibility in the supply chain also means keeping an eye on the interests and needs of foreign partners.
The Chair of Marketing is committed to conducting empirical research that advances our understanding of the role, dynamics, and impact of corporations in fostering sustainable social, environmental, and economic value creation. Through this research, we contribute to the advancement of marketing knowledge and the development of strategies that promote both business success and societal well-being.
Current sustainability-related research includes the promotion of regional products in the consumer packaged goods sector, the use of lighting to encourage the sustainable consumption of imperfect fruit, the effects of eco-labels on consumer behaviour, the development and business value of firms’ sustainability capabilities, the sustainable intention–behaviour gap, and the influence of green and sustainability-focused influencers on consumer behaviour. In addition, we conduct research on topics of broader societal relevance, such as strategies to prevent the decline of high streets.
The Chair of Economic Policy investigates various aspects of income inequality
The Chair of Macroeconomics conducts research on the role of fiscal and monetary policies in promoting sustainable growth and supporting the socio-ecological transition. The collaborative project Monetary Policy and Energy Prices (MORPEP) investigates the effects of energy price changes and conventional monetary policy on energy consumption, CO₂ emissions, economic growth, inflation, and employment, thereby providing evidence for current economic policy challenges. In addition, the international research project SEED – Social-Ecological Effects of Green Public Expenditures examines how green public investment can foster the socio-ecological transformation within the European Union. The project analyses the economic, social, and environmental impacts of public expenditures aimed at accelerating the green transition and contributes to evidence-based policy recommendations for sustainable development. Furthermore, the Chair of Macroeconomics supervises Bachelor's and Master's theses on topics related to climate change, sustainability, environmental economics, and economic policy, thereby encouraging students to engage with current societal and environmental challenges through academic research.
The Chair of Economics has been actively engaged in various research activities focusing on the intersections of climate change, financial stability, and energy transitions. The work at the Chair has been characterized by an interdisciplinary approach, utilizing advanced methodologies like Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) to explore the dynamics between pandemics, fiscal stimuli, and climate policies. The Chair's research covered various themes, including the economic implications of climate-related transition risks for the banking sector, the systemic under-pricing of climate risks in financial markets, and the economic challenges of critical minerals in the low-carbon transition.
The Chair of Empirical Economics conducts research on sustainable economic growth and development and addresses topics of inequality.
The Junior Professorship in European Management fosters knowledge on the resilience of managers & organizations (esp. hospitals). In this context, the Junior Professorship focusses in particular on organizations and professional groups that operate in extreme contexts. These organizations (hospitals, emergency service organization, blood donation organizations, police, etc.) usually work under extreme conditions or have to deal with extreme issues (e.g., death, pain, acute physical and mental stress). In addition, it is conducting research on chemical submission through date-rape drugs. This often occurs in the context of sexual violence and thus poses a particular threat to women. However, there is almost no research on this topic. The Junior Professorship is conducting the first Germany-wide survey on this topic. The survey has also been extended to Austria, and the German-speaking part of Switzerland.
The Junior Professorship of International Economics, especially Europe, conducts research on international economic relations with a particular focus on Europe. Its research examines multinational enterprises and foreign direct investment, including the relationship between FDI and unemployment, current account imbalances and macroeconomic adjustment in Europe, and the development of the technology sector in the European Union relative to the United States. These research activities contribute to understanding the labour-market effects of international investment, macroeconomic stability and the implications of digital transformation for Europe.
The Joint German-Portuguese Research Group on Sustainability Evaluation, Engineering and Management – SustEEM-Group – pursues the superordinate target of bundling interdisciplinary activities of and competencies for basic and application-oriented research on life cycle-oriented evaluation and on the engineering and management of sustainable resources, processes, products, technologies and systems fostering the UN Sustainable Development Goals fulfilment and the adaptation and evolution of industry and society to 4rd Industrial Revolution.
The American African European (AAE) Summer and Winter Schools are proposed as an interdisciplinary and intercultural study program for Master- and PhD-students of the four participating universities: University of KwaZulu-Natal in Durban, South Africa (UKZN; School of Management, Information Technology and Governance), the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa (Wits; School of Economic & Business Sciences), and the Technische Universität Chemnitz (TUC; Faculty of Business Administration and Economics), and the ICN Business School in Nancy, France (ICN, School of Management, Technology and Art). The topics such as “Sustainability”, “Responsible Management“ or “Intercultural and Organizational Communication“ link collaborative teaching and research interests of the four universities as well as their current regional challenges of society and economy. The Summer and Winter Schools take place at the locations of the institutions participating, alternating annually.
The Chair of Corporate Environmental Management and Sustainability, together with the Chair of Production and Operations Management, organized the 2025 Autumn Conference of the Scientific Commissions for Sustainability Management (WK NAMA) and Production Management (WK PROD) of the German Academic Association of Business Research (VHB). Held at Chemnitz University of Technology on 25 and 26 September 2025 under the theme “Competitive Advantage, Responsible Value Chains, and Systems Thinking for Sustainability”, the conference brought together researchers from sustainability management and production management to present and critically discuss current research and strengthen interdisciplinary cooperation. A PhD Consortium held on 24 September 2025 additionally provided early-career researchers with opportunities to present their work, receive constructive feedback and expand their academic networks. By connecting the perspectives of sustainability management and production management, the conference promoted systems thinking and the development of responsible approaches to value creation and production.

Principle 5 | Partner: We engage people from business, government, civil society, and academia to advance responsible and accountable management education and practice.

Several professors engage in trainings and continuing education programs (TUCed) to distribute sustainability knowledge into the practitioners’ world.
There is ongoing cooperation and exchange with the Saxon State Ministry for Higher Education, Research and the Arts and the Saxon State Ministry of the Environment and Agriculture as well as the Carlowitz-Gesellschaft e. V., including joint guest lectures of inspiring experts open to all interested people or the co-organisation of the UNESCO Project Schools Symposium 2022 in Chemnitz.
In the Smart Rail Connectivity Campus (SRCC) project, a globally visible research and development facility is to be permanently established at the Annaberg-Buchholz site. Research, development and innovation works on digitized, networked, automated and sustainable, i. e., economically, ecologically and socially effective and efficient mobility, are accomplished in cooperation between the TU Chemnitz, the city of Annaberg-Buchholz and many other network partners. Networking with regional partners, but also national companies and research institutions, creates interdisciplinary cooperation and a powerful platform for innovations.
In cooperation with a local authority, the Chair of Banking and Corporate Finance operationalizes PRME Principle 5 by co-authoring and collaborating with international academics and research bodies across Europe, North America and Asia on climate finance, geopolitics, and market spillovers. Joint projects pool cross-country datasets, harmonize methods, and share open code to accelerate replication. The Chair co-organizes workshops, hosts visiting scholars, and supervises cross-institutional PhDs, turning research into policy-ready insights. These partnerships amplify rigor and relevance, informing regulators and industry while cultivating a research community.
The Chair of Marketing collaborates with stakeholders from business (e.g., rebuy) and the public sector (e.g., the Landesamt für Umwelt, Landwirtschaft und Geologie and the Sächsisches Staatsministerium für Wirtschaft, Arbeit, Energie und Klimaschutz) on research addressing societal and environmental challenges, such as promoting regional products and preventing the decline of high streets. In addition, we promote responsible management practices through our engagement with organizations and civil society initiatives that foster the common good and societal well-being (e.g., advisory board memberships in Ab-in-die-Mitte-Initative on inner-city development, or Lotto Sachsen where ~40% of lottery incomes are allocated to social projects). Through these collaborations, we seek to identify areas in which marketing can drive positive change and to develop effective, evidence-based approaches for addressing societal and environmental challenges together with our partners.
The Chair of Corporate Environmental Management and Sustainability was integrated in the development of the Saxon State Strategy for Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and other dialogue fora, e.g. as an ambassador for the Saxony Environment and Climate Alliance (2023–2028) or as a member in the working group of the State Rectors' Conference Sustainability and Climate Neutrality. In collaboration with the TRAFOSax project, the chair supported discussions on how sustainability issues can be integrated into teaching at universities, particularly at Chemnitz University of Technology. We organised workshops where teachers can learn about SDGs and IDGs and discuss problems with implementing them in teaching. This has also led to participation in processes at other universities and other network meetings. A particular topic of discussion was how students and teachers can achieve sustainability skills, which skills are actually necessary, and which methods can be used to achieve them. The TRAFOSax team was supporting the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in designing a new degree programme that combines technology, natural sciences and humanities, as well as in training university teachers. The chair is also active in several networks. These include SUPRA, the Sustainability Roundtable, and environmental education network meetings.
The Chair of Innovation Research and Technology Management partners in multiple ways in projects with NGOs as well as the local cultural and creative scene of Chemnitz, the city of Chemnitz, the Impact Hub Leipzig and others on social innovations and related subjects. We engage in regular exchange with stakeholders from civil society, e.g. the citizens’ initiative Pöhlwassertal, in order to address specific requirements of transport and logistics in hardly accessible rural areas and jointly develop suitable mobility and logistics solutions.
The Chair of Information Systems and Business Analytics maintains international research partnerships advancing responsible AI and sustainable energy research, including a collaboration with the University of Southern Queensland (AU) and the Bits-to-Energy-Lab, a joint research initiative of the University of Bamberg (DE), Nuremberg (DE), St. Gallen (CH) and ETH Zurich (CH). The Chair translates its research into practice through the Bits to Energy Lab, a collaboration with ETH Zurich, University of St. Gallen, University of Bamberg and FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, and through direct partnerships with companies on AI value creation, analytics and digitalization. This year, two contributions appeared in the Heise "KI Navigator" column: #13: AI is Overtaking the Daily Stand-up (08/2025), on how AI affects agile ways of working; and #9: Between Creativity and Predictability (01/2025), on the tension between managerial expectations and the craft-like practice of data science projects.
The Chair of Macroeconomics maintains an extensive network of national and international research collaborations. These include, among others, the European Macro Policy Network (EMPN), the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), the Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies (WIIW), the Institute of Macroeconomic Policy of the Hans Böckler Foundation, the Macroeconomic Policy Institute (IMK), the University of Bari Aldo Moro, the ACROSS European University Alliance, or Deloitte Saxony.
The Chair of Economics is dedicated to fostering responsible and accountable management education and practice. We actively participate in public discussions, publish in renowned journals, and have been invited to speak at important international conferences to broaden our academic influence and encourage essential dialogues across various sectors. This multidisciplinary approach is key for merging scientific research with policymaking, ensuring our educational efforts align with real-world challenges. By collaborating with respected organizations like the World Bank, OECD, and central banks across Europe, the Chair enhances academic understanding and shapes global strategies, contributing to a strong, resilient, and sustainable global financial system. These efforts highlight our commitment to connecting theoretical insights with practical applications, essential for tackling today's complex social and financial issues.

Principle 6 | Practice: We adopt responsible and accountable management principles in our own governance and operations.

Chemnitz University of Technology is constantly working on integrating ESD into its own programs and making ESD even more interdisciplinary. To this end, a self-assessment of sustainability and an ESD reflection sheet are offered as an organizational tool. The Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) (online version) for sustainability-oriented areas of action in everyday university life can highlight your own commitment and development options. It is used for self-reflection on possible sustainability activities of all organizational members of Chemnitz University of Technology and to identify fields of action for the implementation of sustainability in and at Chemnitz University of Technology. The ESD reflection sheet reflects ESD commitment in teaching and in each module. It also provides a wide range of suggestions on the topic of sustainable procurement.
In regular meetings, topics and issues of sustainability are reflected and discussed in strategy workshops and faculty-based activities and practices, embedded in curricula as well as joint research activities.
Chemnitz University of Technology is one of four universities in Germany selected by the German Rectors' Conference (HRK) for the one-year pilot phase of the "Sustainability at Universities" audit, and held its first conference with auditors in April 2025, with participation from researchers in economics.
The Faculty of Business Administration and Economics has set itself the task of counteracting potential sources of discrimination and all forms of sexual harassment and sexualized violence in the workplace. In 2023, the faculty adopted an innovative and Germany-wide leading equality and women's advancement plan to strengthen and permanently anchor equity, diversity and inclusion. The Professorship for Corporate Environmental Management and Sustainability supported social sustainability, equal participation, and well-being at Chemnitz University of Technology by developing surveys within the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration. These surveys assessed experiences of harassment and inappropriate behaviour, as well as the use and potential expansion of the hygiene dispenser offering free menstrual products. The results provide a basis for identifying current needs and informing future measures for a safer, more inclusive, and supportive university environment.
Our faculty members use an extensive range of environmentally friendly brands and products for office supplies, fair trade coffee, a digital filing system for printing less, environmentally friendly way to work as using the bike or going by foot, switching off electrical appliances or turning down the heating, etc. Business trips are planned in an environmentally friendly way by using the train or forming car pools.

Principle 7 | Share: We share our successes and failures with each other to enable our collective learning and best live our common values and purpose.

The Chair of Corporate Environmental Management and Sustainability contributes to the task force sustainability, a working group at Chemnitz University of Technology dedicated to promoting sustainable campus development and more sustainable practices on campus. The active participation of people from all areas of the university enables a broad discussion of ideas and performances. Prof. Dr. Arnold is an ambassador for the Saxony Environmental and Climate Alliance (2023-2028).
Members of the Chair of Corporate Environmental Management and Sustainability and Innovation Research and Technology Management take regularly part in round tables with politicians, citizens and other stakeholder to develop the region and Saxony towards more sustainability.
The Chair of Management Accounting and Control regularly organizes lectures of practitioners for the course "practical problems" in the study program Energy efficient technologies to bring practical and academic perspectives together.
The Chair of International Accounting and Auditing regularly organizes lectures and workshops by practitioners on current issues, particularly in the field of sustainability and auditing, to bring practical and academic perspectives together.
The Chair of Macroeconomics actively engages in science communication and public outreach through interviews, podcasts, and media contributions on topics such as inflation, monetary and fiscal policy, climate policy, and Open Science. Recent examples include the podcast Wirtschaft im Loop and an interview for the ZBW Open Science magazine on preregistration and collaborative research practices.

Sharing Information on Progress (SIP) 2025 - Faculty of Economics and Business Administration - Chemnitz University of Technology

Principle 1 | Purpose: We advance responsible management education to foster inclusive prosperity in a world of thriving ecosystems.

Sustainability is a key topic expressed by the university’s sustainability mission statement as well as in research and teaching in our faculty.
The TU Chemnitz launched its first sustainability report in February 2022 by applying a whole-institution approach, meaning integrating students from different faculties, organizational members from administration, research and cooperative institutions, e.g. student union. A main goal is to address the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and initiate a system-wide transformational process towards sustainability.
Students and all organisational members are able to engage in the Task Force Sustainability for incorporating sustainability in academia and value transformation towards sustainability as well as for a sustainable campus development. It was a fixed format for interdisciplinary discussion on how we can make processes at the university more sustainable.
The joint project TRAFOSax of several Saxon universities supports the promotion of factors that support the implementation of ESD at the TU Chemnitz, by e. g. organizing workshops for teaching staff about ESD, including discussions on the implementation of such. The project further organized a teaching format with school pupils at the university, where they learned about sustainability problems in our society and ways to solve them.

Principle 2 | Values: We place organizational responsibility and accountability to society and the planet at the core of what we do.

There is ongoing dialogue within the faculty and between the faculty and the university management as well as the State Ministry of Science and the Arts (SMWK) to reflect, discuss and embed specific sustainability issues as well as ongoing change towards more sustainability in the university and its practices.
Since 2019, an academia-wide process hast been initiated to progress sustainability in and beyond academia. In line with the Sustainability Code sustainability is reflected and incorporated on the levels strategy, governance, research, teaching, administration, process and operation, etc. There are ongoing initiatives to extend bike mobility, sustainable purchase, sustainable energy and becoming a fair-trade university. Sustainable purchasing guidelines were implemented in 2023 and bicycle mobility was expanded. The university has installed flowering meadows and actively participates in the annual German Sustainability Action Days / European Sustainability Week. Moreover, there is a university-wide transfer platform offering discarded inventory of the university for internal use. This avoids new acquisitions and unnecessary waste.
The university’s sustainability mission statement is guiding teaching, research, administration and transfer.
There are recommendations towards strengthening sustainable procurement and selected sustainability topics to enhance sustainability in academia in a sustainability blog.
Since 2024, the TUC has successfully obtained certification in the “Shaping Diversity” diversity audit and stands for tolerance, mutual respect and non-discrimination.
Several Workshops for Lecturers in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) were conducted to enable lecturers to actively integrate Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) into their teaching practice and to enhance sustainability competencies among teaching staff.
Handbook on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD): A comprehensive handbook for lecturers at Chemnitz University of Technology was developed. It provides guidance and best practices for embedding ESD into higher education teaching and serves as a practical tool for fostering sustainability in university education.
We aim is to infuse our academic endeavors, curricula, and operational methods with the ethos of global social responsibility, drawing inspiration from esteemed international initiatives like the United Nations Global Compact. By incorporating the values of global social responsibility into our education and practices, we prepare students to become responsible and conscientious people who contribute positively to both business success and societal well-being on a global scale.

Principle 3 | Teach: We transform our learning environments by integrating responsible management concepts and practices into our curriculum and pedagogy.

We follow Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) aiming at the development of both knowledge about sustainable behavior and the skills and methods to implement it within a learner-teacher relationship. The United Nations emphasizes the importance of education for a transformation towards sustainability. The Agenda 2030, the national sustainability strategy, the Saxon Sustainability Strategy and the Saxon State Strategy on Education for Sustainable Development strengthen the broad and deep anchoring of sustainability and sustainability skills in all educational institutions. As Chemnitz University of Technology, we contribute to this by teaching ESD in a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary ways, for example in Lecture and exercise courses, colloquia, seminars, practical collaborations and student projects. In particular, the Studium generale enables an interdisciplinary approach.
We are constantly developing our degree programs. For example, in addition to the cross-sectional integration of sustainability in the respective modules, Business Administration (B.Sc.) has explicitly anchored sustainability and responsibility in the minor and major.
There is a vivid integration of sustainability in lectures, courses, seminars and workshops, e.g.
- Establishment of a faculty-wide module "Responsible Decision-Making" in the Business Administration (B.Sc.) addressing ethical and fact-based decisions in all areas of business management and economics.
- The Chair of Business Taxation and Auditing Standard of fair taxation, principle of trust in tax law, proper accounting, and thus addresses issues of environmental, social and economic sustainability in lectures and seminars as well as in students’ projects, i.e. with respect to tax incentives for Climate-friendly energy use in buildings and mobility.
- The Chair of International Accounting and Auditing addresses issues of environmental, social and economic sustainability in lectures and seminars as well as in students’ projects. The courses address topics as sustainability reporting requirements of PIEs in the European Union, measurement of environmental, social and governance disclosures of PIEs and the assurance engagements on sustainability information (ISSA 5000). In addition, the chair supervises students’ projects on several topics concerning scope and quality of environmental and social reporting requirements.
- The Chair of Management Accounting and Controlling addresses issues of sustainability and instruments like Material Flow Cost Accounting among others in the courses Life Cycle Engineering, Life Cycle-oriented Management, Subsystems of Management and Control and IT-supported evaluation of material flows and process chains. Numerous (group work) projects, seminars and theses which deal with the evaluation of ecological, economic and social sustainability are a constant part of the teaching portfolio of the Chair.
- The Chair of Banking and Corporate Finance integrates a variety of sustainability topics in its bachelor and master lectures and seminars, e.g. Sustainable Finance or sustainability in asset management processes. The Seminar Energy & Climate Finance covers a wide range of topics on risks associated with climate change. Biodiversity loss is addressed from a business perspective and financial tools to dampen and reverse its impact are discussed.
- Various courses (lectures, tutorials, seminars, and student projects) of the Chair of Organization and International Management deal with issues of ecological, social, and economic sustainability in organizational contexts and related problems such as climate change, responsible consumption, gender inequality, discrimination, precariousness, and decent work. In the courses, especially in the tutorials and seminars, students are encouraged to critically reflect on their own as well as others' actions, to identify existing problems in organizations, and to uncover mechanisms of reproduction.
- The Chair of Human Resource Management and Leadership Studies addresses issues of environmental, economic and social sustainability in lectures, tutorials, seminars as well as in student projects. The courses address topics such as environmental and social sustainability in Human Resource Management (green HRM, socially responsible HRM and sustainable HRM), social sustainability in leadership (leadership development, meaningful leadership, ethical leadership, leadership and gender) as well as meaningful work. In addition, the Chair supervises students’ projects on topics such as “Remote Work & COVID-19 - Implications for the Design of Sustainable Human Resources Management” or “Perception and Promotion of Meaningful Work”.
- The Chair of Innovation Research and Technology Management offers various lectures and seminars, like Management of Sustainability Innovations in the course Technology and Innovation Management: Introduction, Lecture on Technology Assessment and Design of Technology for a Sustainable Development in the course Technology Management, Corporate Social Responsibility in the lecture series Strategic Management or seminar Development of Sustainable Innovation. In the exercise accompanying the lecture “Innovation and Consulting”, students are encouraged to tackle everyday challenges with a sustainability reference by applying creative problem‐solving and design thinking methods. Through the project “Lernbrücke Chemnitz–Lviv 2024” within the programme “Ukraine digital” we maintain an ongoing academic transfer with the Ivan Franko National University of Lviv in order to jointly promote responsible and sustainable management education
- The Chair of Corporate Environmental Management and Sustainability offers a variety and range of courses and learning formats. The Chair develops and implements interactive courses as well as agile methods (e.g. systemic structural constellations, interactive scenario development) particularly aiming at a holistic view and independently solving of complex sustainability contexts strictly following ESD competencies. PraxisSDG is a cross-university seminar including partners from business, administration and municipality in learning contexts. Moreover, it continuously integrates practical lectures into the teaching process. The development of courses including materials that support alternative learning habits, environments, and E-Learning formats, using innovative programs and tools (e.g., Adobe Captivate; OPAL), is part of the digitization strategy of the professorship. The toolbox Sustainability virtual is one outcome. Moreover, combining sustainability and digitisation as well as developing sustainable future instructional design taking rebound effects into account academia-wide perspectives were investigated and discussed. A series of posters addressing common myths and prejudices regarding sustainability topics (e.g., waste management) was created. These posters use scientific evidence to counter misconceptions and raise awareness among students and staff. The joint project TRAFOSax of several Saxon universities supports the promotion of factors that support the implementation of ESD at the TU Chemnitz, by e. g. organizing workshops for teaching staff about ESD.
- The Chair of Marketing applies educational frameworks, materials, processes, and environments that foster effective learning experiences for cultivating responsible leadership. By creating educational frameworks, materials, processes, and environments that prioritize responsible leadership in marketing, we empower students to become ethical and socially conscious marketers who can drive positive change in the industry and society at large, e.g. Ethical Marketing Curriculum and Interactive Learning Materials and Ethics-focused Learning Environments by using Case Studies Research, Practical Application through Internships, and Guest lectures.
- The Chair of Information Systems – Business Process and Information Management offers several courses which cover various topics of sustainability, ethics, etc. in the context of digital transformation, big data, business analytics and artificial intelligence, For example, in the course "information management" the students gain data literacy skills emphasizing the responsible and ethical use of data.
- The Chair of Private Law and Intellectual Property Rights integrates topics of obligations and responsibilities of supply chains into teaching, for example in the lecture "Strategic Corporate Law".
- The Chair of Public Law offers several courses that address central contemporary sustainability issues.

- The Chair of Economics offered a dynamic range of courses that align closely with the department's commitment to integrating responsible management practices into its curriculum, e.g. "Advanced Seminar in Ecological Economics Research" and "Economics of Climate Change and Sustainable Finance," focus on sustainable and ecological economics, directly supporting the mission to educate students on the critical intersection of environmental and economic issues. The inclusion of "Agent-Based and Behavioral Macroeconomics" and "Topics and Methods in Sustainable Macro-Finance Research" further illustrates a curriculum that not only addresses complex economic theories but also trains students to consider the broader societal impacts of economic practices. These courses are structured to enhance students' understanding of sustainable finance and responsible economic management, which is essential for fostering a deeper awareness of global challenges and the development of solutions that promote long-term sustainability and ethical management in economics.
- The Chair of Empirical Economics integrates the topics of environmental, social, and economic sustainability into its lectures and tutorials. Students gain the knowledge and skills needed to apply empirical methods to investigate these critical issues.
- The transdisciplinary faculty-wide seminar Business and Economy meets Science (Wirtschaft meets Wissenschaft) enables students to work scientifically on specific business problems together with company representatives applying vivid and divers learning formats.
With the project Joint Expertise we aim to form a multi-level, permanent and academic cooperation in responsible, sustainable and global aware management education and practice especially for master and doctoral students between the University of Technology Chemnitz, Faculty of Economics and Business Administration and the University of Kwazulu-Natal (UKZN), School of Management, IT and Governance. The 2023 Summer and Winter School – 15th AAE Summer School: “A holistic and integrated approach to creativity, innovation and sustainable development in the age of disruption”” paves the ongoing joint learning spaces, including (online) lectures held by TU Chemnitz professors for students of the University KwaZulu Natal. Furthermore, jointly developed modules were offered to the students.
The cross-continental 4th ARTEM OCC “From disruption to development: Moving forward with the relationship between creativity and sustainability“ took place in April 2022 in Nancy.

Principle 4 | Research: We study people, organizations, institutions, and the state of the world to inspire responsible management and education practice.

Due to disciplinary and interdisciplinary research in the faculty innovative solutions are developed for regional economy and society and beyond – always focusing on the faculty’s core research areas as sustainability. There is a vivid research culture around sustainability topics represented in contributions to conferences, papers as well as discussions in PhD workshops.
The Chemnitz Economic Research Seminar regularly hosts talks on topics relevant for PRME goals, especially on the economics of the green energy transition as well as green finance and climate risks. The audience includes both researchers and students and members of the general public.
The Chair of Organization and International Management conducts empirical research on sufficiency among management researchers, gender implications at higher education institutions in Germany, institutionalization of sustainable research data management, stigmatization of temporary agency workers, participation in cooperatives, and marginalized entrepreneurships. Studies were presented at the Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management, the International Sustainable Development Research Society (ISDRS) Conference, and the Congress for Work, Organizational, and Economic Psychology and Human Factors. In addition, students' projects on sustainability management at Siemens Energy, participation in organisations, and new modes of work in various companies are carried out and supervised by the staff of the Chair.
The Chair of Business Taxation and Auditing conducted an international project on tax morale, a dissertation on the possibility of hedge accounting in energy trading was completed.
The Chair of International Accounting and Auditing conducts empirical research on sustainability reporting quality by European PIEs. Furthermore, a model was developed that can be used to determine the value contribution of ESG in the context of company valuation and another model that can be used to determine the company value including the value contribution of ESG.
The chair of Management Accounting and Control was and is involved in several interdisciplinary projects addressing issues of sustainability: e.g., “Digital assistance systems in cattle farming" (Cattle Hub), “Sustainable mobility” (NaMo) as a project of the “Smart Rail Connectivity Campus” (SRCC), “Evaluation and control of sustainable business models for smart composites” (2BEsmart_R) and the young researcher group "Combination of FEM and methods of LCE for sustainable material selection and automated AI-controlled preform-manufacturing of fiber-plastic composites” (autoPre), funded by the European Social Fonds ESF and the Free State of Saxony.
The Chair of Banking and Corporate Finance analyses climate and energy-transition risks, geopolitical shocks, and macroprudential spillovers, spanning green investment, ESG performance, sovereign and industry-bond connectedness, EU ETS dynamics, and rural energy poverty. Methodologically, the Chair employs machine learning and explainable AI to enhance transparency and replicability. The findings equip regulators, investors, and firms with actionable insights to manage risk, allocate capital responsibly, and craft effective policies, strengthening market resilience and aligning financial decision-making with sustainable development goals. The Chair is currently involved in a European research project and bid for funding on Biodiversity, risks associated with its loss, and the design of financial instruments needed to manage and to reduce these risks.
The Chair of Human Resource Management and Leadership Studies investigates the role and the perception of sustainable Human Resource Management systems and meaningful work in family firms using a qualitative empirical research approach. Another qualitative empirical research project examines how leaders can influence their followers’ perception of meaningful work especially in the digital age. Several Bachelor’s and Master’s theses have already been conducted on the important topic of sustainability in HRM (with different practice partners): e.g. Socially Responsible Human Resource Management, Sustainable Human Resource Management, Meaningful Work, Meaningful Leadership, Inclusive Leadership and Gender Inequalities, Sustainable Careers, Promotion of Female Leaders etc.
The Chair of Innovation Research and Technology Management initiated several research projects linking to sustainability: e.g. “Sustainability of Mobility” (NaMo), funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research; “ReFoSocI” - Regional focus groups for social innovations in Saxony; and sustainability research projects in the Management & Organisation Studies and Business Engineering.
The Chair of Corporate Environmental Management and Sustainability initiates joint projects with diverse stakeholders progressing circularity, sustainable transformation and cultural change; and engages in the international network ISDRS. In addition, the chair pursues a broad research agenda within the field of sustainability, conducting projects on circular economy, the textile industry, fiber recycling, and hydrogen. The results are presented at national and international conferences, including the NAMA Conference, the ISDRS Conference, the ARTEM Conference and the EURAM Conference.
The Chair of Information Systems – Business Process and Information Management addresses in research projects various PRME related topics in the context of digital transformation. Currently, in the three-year project DIONA a broad range of research questions about the digital circular economy (CE) is investigated and a digital hub as well as a cyber-physical lab are set up to foster information exchange and collaboration between CE stakeholders and to enable especially SMEs for CE. In addition, topics of sustainability and the interplay of humans and digital twins / actors (e.g. in processes) are subject to research.
The Chair of Public Law conducts research on the international adjudication of climate change, more broadly reflecting upon the role of law and legal institutions such as international courts in building a more sustainable world.
The Chair of Private Law and Intellectual Property Rights concerns how blockchain technology can make a significant contribution to a sustainable economy and society, such as responsibility in circular economy processes or the legal support of energy and emissions trading. Particularly in the context of the supply chain law, blockchain technology can help companies to comply their corporate obligations. In the area of emissions trading, blockchain technology in conjunction with the Internet of Things (IoT) and the tokenisation of machines, raw materials, but also CO₂, ensures sustainable use of existing resources and can thus make a significant contribution to environmental sustainability. Furthermore, the legally compliant implementation of sustainable work processes is addressed, especially in the transformation of work. The focus here is on the implementation of sustainable remuneration and working time models as well as the legally required compliance systems, including the design of reporting and complaint procedures, which are to be established mandatory with the implementation of the EU Whistleblowing Directive.
The professorship also deals with supply chain legislation and the question of how the obligations and resulting responsibilities in supply chains can be implemented in the corporate organization in a legally compliant manner. To this end, the research also includes the content that arises in discussions in the countries at the end of this value chain, such as the raw material suppliers from Mongolia. After all, responsibility in the supply chain also means keeping an eye on the interests and needs of foreign partners.
The Chair of Marketing is committed to actively pursue conceptual and empirical research that deepens our understanding of the role, dynamics, and impact of corporations in fostering sustainable social, environmental, and economic value creation. By engaging in rigorous conceptual and empirical research on the role, dynamics, and impact of corporations in sustainable value creation, we can advance knowledge in the field of marketing and contribute to the development of strategies that promote both business success and societal well-being, e.g. by (i) Ethical Use of Artificial Intelligence in Marketing and its Influence on Customer Behavior, (ii) Artificial intelligence and its marketing potential from a sustainability perspective, (iii) Digital Crowdfunding: Differences in Communicating Sustainable versus Commercial Digital Campaigns, (iv) Gender Bias through the use of Generative AI for Marketing Purposes, (v) Social Responsibility Marketing – How to benefit from the “Supply Chain Act” in Marketing, (vi) Responsible Development and Marketing of Digital and AI-based Innovations for an Educationally Equitable Society.
The Chair of Economic Policy investigates various aspects of income inequality
The Chair of Macroeconomics investigates the role of tax and spending policies to promote sustainable growth and the socio-ecological transition. The cooperation project “Monetary Policy and Energy Prices” investigates the impact of monetary policy and energy prices. The project aims to develop well-founded statements on two current and interwoven economic policy problems based on the current state of scientific knowledge. These are the effect of energy price changes on consumption and the associated CO2 emissions and the effect of (conventional) monetary policy on growth, prices and employment. Moreover, the Chair of Macroeconomics supervises Bachelor’s and Master’s theses on topics related to climate change, sustainability, and environmental economics.
The Chair of Economics has been actively engaged in various research activities focusing on the intersections of climate change, financial stability, and energy transitions. The work at the Chair has been characterized by an interdisciplinary approach, utilizing advanced methodologies like Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) to explore the dynamics between pandemics, fiscal stimuli, and climate policies. The Chair's research covered various themes, including the economic implications of climate-related transition risks for the banking sector, the systemic under-pricing of climate risks in financial markets, and the economic challenges of critical minerals in the low-carbon transition.
The Chair of Empirical Economics conducts research on sustainable economic growth and development and addresses topics of inequality.
The Junior Professorship in European Management fosters knowledge on the resilience of managers & organizations (esp. hospitals). In this context, the Junior Professorship focusses in particular on organizations and professional groups that operate in extreme contexts. These organizations (hospitals, emergency service organization, blood donation organizations, police, etc.) usually work under extreme conditions or have to deal with extreme issues (e.g., death, pain, acute physical and mental stress). In addition, it is conducting research on chemical submission through date-rape drugs. This often occurs in the context of sexual violence and thus poses a particular threat to women. However, there is almost no research on this topic. The Junior Professorship is conducting the first Germany-wide survey on this topic. The survey has also been extended to Austria, and the German-speaking part of Switzerland.
The Joint German-Portuguese Research Group on Sustainability Evaluation, Engineering and Management – SustEEM-Group – pursues the superordinate target of bundling interdisciplinary activities of and competencies for basic and application-oriented research on life cycle-oriented evaluation and on the engineering and management of sustainable resources, processes, products, technologies and systems fostering the UN Sustainable Development Goals fulfilment and the adaptation and evolution of industry and society to 4rd Industrial Revolution.

There is ongoing cooperation and exchange with the Saxon State Ministry for Higher Education, Research and the Arts and the Saxon State Ministry of the Environment and Agriculture as well as the Carlowitz-Gesellschaft e. V., including joint guest lectures of inspiring experts open to all interested people or the co-organisation of the UNESCO Project Schools Symposium 2022 in Chemnitz.
In the Smart Rail Connectivity Campus (SRCC) project, a globally visible research and development facility is to be permanently established at the Annaberg-Buchholz site. Research, development and innovation works on digitized, networked, automated and sustainable, i. e., economically, ecologically and socially effective and efficient mobility, are accomplished in cooperation between the TU Chemnitz, the city of Annaberg-Buchholz and many other network partners. Networking with regional partners, but also national companies and research institutions, creates interdisciplinary cooperation and a powerful platform for innovations.
In cooperation with a local authority, the Chair of Banking and Corporate Finance operationalizes PRME Principle 5 by co-authoring and collaborating with international academics and research bodies across Europe, North America and Asia on climate finance, geopolitics, and market spillovers. Joint projects pool cross-country datasets, harmonize methods, and share open code to accelerate replication. The Chair co-organizes workshops, hosts visiting scholars, and supervises cross-institutional PhDs, turning research into policy-ready insights. These partnerships amplify rigor and relevance, informing regulators and industry while cultivating a research community.
The Chair of Marketing, actively collaborate with stakeholders from business (e.g., Recup), government (e.g., Bundesministerium für Gesundheit), and academia (e.g., Stanford) to promote responsible and accountable management education and practice. By engaging with diverse perspectives and expertise, we aim to enhance our understanding of the role of marketing in addressing societal and environmental challenges while fostering sustainable business practices. Furthermore, we are committed to interacting with managers of business corporations to gain insights into the unique challenges they face in fulfilling their social and environmental responsibilities. Through these interactions, we seek to identify areas where marketing can play a pivotal role in driving positive change and explore effective approaches to addressing these challenges collaboratively.
The Chair of Corporate Environmental Management and Sustainability was integrated in the development of the Saxon State Strategy for Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and other dialogue fora, e.g. as an ambassador for the Saxony Environment and Climate Alliance (2023–2028) or as a member in the working group of the State Rectors' Conference Sustainability and Climate Neutrality. Participation in the international project “1qm Lein“: Historical flax varieties are cultivated in the student garden, and the corresponding value chains are studied through cultivation and research activities. The project actively involves non-university stakeholders such as community groups and external partners. In collaboration with the TRAFOSax project, the chair supports discussions on how sustainability issues can be integrated into teaching at universities, particularly at Chemnitz University of Technology. We organise workshops where teachers can learn about SDGs and IDGs and discuss problems with implementing them in teaching. This has also led to participation in processes at other universities and other network meetings. A particular topic of discussion is how students and teachers can achieve sustainability skills, which skills are actually necessary, and which methods can be used to achieve them.

Sharing Information on Progress (SIP) 2024 - Faculty of Economics and Business Administration - Chemnitz University of Technology

Principle 1 | Purpose: We advance responsible management education to foster inclusive prosperity in a world of thriving ecosystems.

Sustainability is a key topic expressed by the university’s sustainability mission statement as well as in research and teaching in our faculty.
The TU Chemnitz launched its first sustainability report in February 2022 by applying a whole-institution approach, meaning integrating students from different faculties, organizational members from administration, research and cooperative institutions, e.g. student union. A main goal is to address the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and initiate a system-wide transformational process towards sustainability.
Students and all organisational members are able to engage in the Task Force Sustainability for incorporating sustainability in academia and value transformation towards sustainability as well as for a sustainable campus development.

Principle 2 | Values: We place organizational responsibility and accountability to society and the planet at the core of what we do.

There is ongoing dialogue within the faculty and between the faculty and the university management as well as the State Ministry of Science and the Arts (SMWK) to reflect, discuss and embed specific sustainability issues as well as ongoing change towards more sustainability in the university and its practices.
Since 2019, an academia-wide process hast been initiated to progress sustainability in and beyond academia. In line with the Sustainability Code sustainability is reflected and incorporated on the levels strategy, governance, research, teaching, administration, process and operation, etc. There are ongoing initiatives to extend bike mobility, sustainable purchase, sustainable energy and becoming a fair-trade university. Sustainable purchasing guidelines were implemented in 2023 and bicycle mobility was expanded. The university has installed flowering meadows and actively participates in the annual German Sustainability Action Days / European Sustainability Week. Moreover, there is a university-wide transfer platform offering discarded inventory of the university for internal use. This avoids new acquisitions and unnecessary waste.
The university’s sustainability mission statement is guiding teaching, research, administration and transfer.
There are recommendations towards strengthening sustainable procurement and selected sustainability topics to enhance sustainability in academia in a sustainability blog.
Since 2024, the TUC has successfully obtained certification in the “Shaping Diversity” diversity audit and stands for tolerance, mutual respect and non-discrimination.
We aim is to infuse our academic endeavors, curricula, and operational methods with the ethos of global social responsibility, drawing inspiration from esteemed international initiatives like the United Nations Global Compact. By incorporating the values of global social responsibility into our education and practices, we prepare students to become responsible and conscientious people who contribute positively to both business success and societal well-being on a global scale.

Principle 3 | Teach: We transform our learning environments by integrating responsible management concepts and practices into our curriculum and pedagogy.

We follow Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) aiming at the development of both knowledge about sustainable behavior and the skills and methods to implement it within a learner-teacher relationship. The United Nations emphasizes the importance of education for a transformation towards sustainability. The Agenda 2030, the national sustainability strategy, the Saxon Sustainability Strategy and the Saxon State Strategy on Education for Sustainable Development strengthen the broad and deep anchoring of sustainability and sustainability skills in all educational institutions. As Chemnitz University of Technology, we contribute to this by teaching ESD in a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary ways, for example in Lecture and exercise courses, colloquia, seminars, practical collaborations and student projects. In particular, the Studium generale enables an interdisciplinary approach.
We are constantly developing our degree programs. For example, in addition to the cross-sectional integration of sustainability in the respective modules, Business Administration (B.Sc.) has explicitly anchored sustainability and responsibility in the minor and major.
There is a vivid integration of sustainability in lectures, courses, seminars and workshops, e.g.
- Establishment of a faculty-wide module "Responsible Decision-Making" in the Business Administration (B.Sc.) addressing ethical and fact-based decisions in all areas of business management and economics.
- The Chair of Business Taxation and Auditing Standard of fair taxation, principle of trust in tax law, proper accounting, and thus addresses issues of environmental, social and economic sustainability in lectures and seminars as well as in students’ projects.
- The Chair of International Accounting and Auditing addresses issues of environmental, social and economic sustainability in lectures and seminars as well as in students’ projects.

The Chair develops and implements interactive courses as well as agile methods (e.g. systemic structural constellations, interactive scenario development) particularly aiming at a holistic view and independently solving of complex sustainability contexts strictly following ESD competencies. Practicing SDG is a cross-university seminar including partners from business, administration and municipality in learning contexts. Moreover, it continuously integrates practical lectures into the teaching process. The development of courses including materials that support alternative learning habits, environments, and E-Learning formats, using innovative programs and tools (e.g., Adobe Captivate; OPAL), is part of the digitization strategy of the professorship. The toolbox Sustainability virtual is one outcome. Moreover, combining sustainability and digitisation as well as developing sustainable future instructional design taking rebound effects into account academia-wide perspectives were investigated and discussed.
- The Chair of Marketing and Retail applies educational frameworks, materials, processes, and environments that foster effective learning experiences for cultivating responsible leadership. By creating educational frameworks, materials, processes, and environments that prioritize responsible leadership in marketing, we empower students to become ethical and socially conscious marketers who can drive positive change in the industry and society at large, e.g. Ethical Marketing Curriculum and Interactive Learning Materials and Ethics-focused Learning Environments by using Case Studies Research, Practical Application through Internships, and Guest lectures.
- The Chair of Information Systems – Business Process and Information Management offers several courses which cover various topics of sustainability, ethics, etc. in the context of digital transformation, big data, business analytics and artificial intelligence, For example, in the course “information management” the students gain data literacy skills emphasizing the responsible and ethical use of data.

Principle 4 | Research: We study people, organizations, institutions, and the state of the world to inspire responsible management and education practice.

Due to disciplinary and interdisciplinary research in the faculty innovative solutions are developed for regional economy and society and beyond – always focusing on the faculty’s core research areas as sustainability. There is a vivid research culture around sustainability topics represented in contributions to conferences, papers as well as discussions in PhD workshops.
The Chemnitz Economic Research Seminar regularly hosts talks on topics relevant for PRME goals, especially on the economics of the green energy transition as well as green finance and climate risks. The audience includes both researchers and students and members of the general public.
The Chair of Organization and International Management conducts empirical research on sufficiency among management researchers, gender implications at higher education institutions in Germany, institutionalization of sustainable research data management, stigmatization of temporary agency workers, participation in cooperatives, and marginalized entrepreneurships. Studies were presented at the Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management, the International Sustainable Development Research Society (ISDRS) Conference, and the Congress for Work, Organizational, and Economic Psychology and Human Factors. In addition, students' projects on sustainability management at Siemens Energy, participation in organisations, and new modes of work in various companies are carried out and supervised by the staff of the Chair.
The Chair of Business Taxation and Auditing conducted an international project on tax morale, a dissertation on Provisions for the dismantling of onshore wind turbines was completed.
The Chair of International Accounting and Auditing conducts empirical research on sustainability reporting quality by European PIEs. In addition, a catalog of criteria for social sustainability was developed together with the chair of Management Accounting and Control.
The chair of Management Accounting and Control was and is involved in several interdisciplinary projects addressing issues of sustainability: e.g., “Digital assistance systems in cattle farming" (Cattle Hub), “Sustainable mobility” (NaMo) as a project of the “Smart Rail Connectivity Campus” (SRCC), “Evaluation and control of sustainable business models for smart composites” (2BEsmart_R) and the young researcher group "Combination of FEM and methods of LCE for sustainable material selection and automated AI-controlled preform-manufacturing of fiber-plastic composites” (autoPre), funded by the European Social Fonds ESF and the Free State of Saxony.
The Chair of Banking and Corporate Finance addresses sustainable finance in municipalities for realising the taxonomy conformity of a municipality for the preparation of sustainable finance measures. Sustainability is integrated into the Asset Management and Institutions of the Financial Market lectures. Asset management deals with sustainability strategies on the financial markets.

In addition, topics of sustainability and the interplay of humans and digital twins / actors (e.g. in processes) are subject to research.
The Chair of Public Law deals with public consumer protection law and renewable energy law or environmental law.
The Chair of Private Law and Intellectual Property Rights concerns how blockchain technology can make a significant contribution to a sustainable economy and society, such as responsibility in circular economy processes or the legal support of energy and emissions trading. Particularly in the context of the supply chain law, blockchain technology can help companies to comply their corporate obligations. In the area of emissions trading, blockchain technology in conjunction with the Internet of Things (IoT) and the tokenisation of machines, raw materials, but also CO₂, ensures sustainable use of existing resources and can thus make a significant contribution to environmental sustainability. Furthermore, the legally compliant implementation of sustainable work processes is addressed, especially in the transformation of work. The focus here is on the implementation of sustainable remuneration and working time models as well as the legally required compliance systems, including the design of reporting and complaint procedures, which are to be established mandatory with the implementation of the EU Whistleblowing Directive.
The professorship also deals with supply chain legislation and the question of how the obligations and resulting responsibilities in supply chains can be implemented in the corporate organization in a legally compliant manner. To this end, the research also includes the content that arises in discussions in the countries at the end of this value chain, such as the raw material suppliers from Mongolia. After all, responsibility in the supply chain also means keeping an eye on the interests and needs of foreign partners.
The Chair of Marketing and Retail is committed to actively pursue conceptual and empirical research that deepens our understanding of the role, dynamics, and impact of corporations in fostering sustainable social, environmental, and economic value creation. By engaging in rigorous conceptual and empirical research on the role, dynamics, and impact of corporations in sustainable value creation, we can advance knowledge in the field of marketing and contribute to the development of strategies that promote both business success and societal well-being, e.g. by (i) Ethical Use of Artificial Intelligence in Marketing and its Influence on Customer Behavior, (ii) Artificial intelligence and its marketing potential from a sustainability perspective, (iii) Digital Crowdfunding: Differences in Communicating Sustainable versus Commercial Digital Campaigns, (iv) Gender Bias through the use of Generative AI for Marketing Purposes, (v) Social Responsibility Marketing – How to benefit from the “Supply Chain Act” in Marketing, (vi) Responsible Development and Marketing of Digital and AI-based Innovations for an Educationally Equitable Society.
The Chair of Macroeconomics investigates the role of tax and spending policies to promote sustainable growth and the socio-ecological transition. The cooperation project “Monetary Policy and Energy Prices” investigates the impact of monetary policy and energy prices. The project aims to develop well-founded statements on two current and interwoven economic policy problems based on the current state of scientific knowledge. These are the effect of energy price changes on consumption and the associated CO2 emissions and the effect of (conventional) monetary policy on growth, prices and employment.
The Chair of Economics is actively engaged in various research activities focusing on the intersections of climate change, financial stability, and energy transitions. The work at the Chair is characterized by an interdisciplinary approach, utilizing advanced methodologies like Agent-Based Modeling (ABM) to explore the dynamics between pandemics, fiscal stimuli, and climate policies. The Chair's research covers various themes, including the economic implications of climate-related transition risks for the banking sector, the systemic under-pricing of climate risks in financial markets, and the economic challenges of critical minerals in the low-carbon transition.
The Chair of Empirical Economics conducts research on sustainable economic growth and development and addresses topics of inequality.
The Junior Professorship in European Management fosters knowledge on the resilience of managers & organizations (esp. hospitals).

Moreover, it continuously integrates practical lectures into the teaching process. The development of courses including materials that support alternative learning habits, environments, and E-Learning formats, using innovative programs and tools (e.g., Adobe Captivate; OPAL), is part of the digitization strategy of the professorship. The toolbox Sustainability virtual is one outcome. Moreover, combining sustainability and digitisation as well as developing sustainable future instructional design taking rebound effects into account academia-wide perspectives were investigated and discussed.
- The chair of Marketing and Retail addresses cultural influences as well as ethical business in the lecture "Consumer Behaviour". Besides learning about the fundamental theories of culture, students are taught the impacts that culture has on everyday behaviour including its effects on consumer behaviour as well as how it should be respected in marketing. It teaches students what it means to be an ethical business, including issues such as bribery, product safety, international advertising self-regulation, Social Marketing, Consumer Well-being, and the dark sides of consumption behaviour (e.g., gaming addiction), and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Students also learn that their consumption behaviour has a direct impact on the behaviour of companies, thus reinforcing ethical consumption behaviour on the consumer side. Furthermore, the lecture “Sensory Marketing” focuses on ethical questions in marketing practice (e.g., whether subliminal advertising and other attempts to manipulate consumers can be justified from an ethical point of view). The chair regularly conducts case studies where students have to work in teams on marketing problems with a focus on ecological sustainability, e.g., optimizing product offer compositions of green electricity tariffs. In various seminars on scientific work students are encouraged to reflect on ethical topics in marketing and consumer behaviour (e.g., nudging and Libertarian Paternalism).

With the project Joint Expertise we aim to form a multi-level, permanent and academic cooperation in responsible, sustainable and global aware management education and practice especially for master and doctoral students between the University of Technology Chemnitz, Faculty of Economics and Business Administration and the University of Kwazulu-Natal (UKZN), School of Management, IT and Governance. The 2018 Summer School – 12th American-African-European Summer School in South Africa on the subject of “Responsible and Sustainable Management of Innovation in Urban and Global Contexts” is one example of the ongoing joint learning spaces. Fortunately, the project was prolonged until December 2021 to continue with the cooperation digitally. During this phase we had different online lectures held by TU Chemnitz professors for students of the University KwaZulu Natal. Furthermore, jointly developed modules were offered to the students.
The 3rd Artem international conference on Organizational Creativity and Sustainability (ARTEM OCC 2020) planned to be be held in March 2020 in Chemnitz as an inter- and transdisciplinary and faculty-based event was cancelled due to Corona Pandemic circumstance. The missing presentations lead into Special Issues publications. The 4th ARTEM OCC took place in April 2022 in Nancy.

Principle 4 | Research: We will engage in conceptual and empirical research that advances our understanding about the role, dynamics, and impact of corporations in the creation of sustainable social, environmental and economic value.
