Knowledge Cafe | Sustainable business practices for NGOs: from good intentions to concrete results

Sustainable business processes, or corporate social responsibility, in the sector of development cooperation is no longer optional, but a must. But how do you turn good intentions into concrete results in a sector facing uncertain times? How can we practice what we preach?

Agenda

In this Partos knowledge café, we will talk to Professor Jan Bouwens of the University of Amsterdam about the latest scientific insights on how to effectively bring sustainability to life in the organization through target setting, stakeholder engagement and external reports, among other things.

In the second part of the knowledge café, we will share experiences from the recent Aid Sector Sustainability benchmark pilot facilitated by GSES and Boris van Westering, in collaboration with War Child, Red Cross, Save the Children Netherlands, Cordaid, Oxfam Novib and Fair Climate Fund.

Shivalika Madgulkar (GSES) will present the main results of the benchmark pilot, followed by a panel discussion with Mark Kirkels (War Child), Martine van Schaik (Oxfam Novib) and Harry Clemens (FairClimateFund) about the lessons learned of the pilot. The floor will be opened at the end of the session for a short Q&A with all speakers. Afterwards there will be an opportunity for networking.
