The DGDW Conference 2010 has practiced what it advocates, responsible business. The conference was made carbon neutral by offsetting all emission at the conference, which covers the travel of the key note speakers, electrical energy consumption plus the general consumption like food, beverages, printed paper etc.
As a next step, we strongly encourage all attendees to offset the emissions created by their travel and accommodation associated with the conference. This ensures all parties are taking a step to environmental responsibility and an exciting conference.

In 2009, the conference had a special focus on how the current economic downturn is impacting social and environmental efforts driven by business. Speakers shed light on both the effects and the prognosis for responsible business in their sectors including finance, healthcare and energy. They also shared their advice on how to continue to make progress and perhaps even create new business models and approaches better suited to sustainable development in all market conditions.
