  • Summary

  • We are visited by Georg Wernicke, Assistant Professor at HEC Paris, for a chat about his work on the role of CEOs for sustainable business. How important is the CEO for the sustainability performance of companies? Is it the personality of the CEO or the function of the CEO that matters most, and what is the influence of the broader culture and context of the company for the CEO's ability and inclination to promote sustainability in business decisions? Needless to say, we draw many parallels to football. Is replacing a CEO like replacing a star striker? Why is Lars Jacob's Facebook feed full of videos of Diego Maradona and Ronaldinho, and how is that question related to Spotify CEO Daniel Ek's response to the ongoing #deletespotify campaign? We discuss the role of CEO activism on sociopolitical issues, whether older or younger CEOs care more about sustainability, why getting a daughter influences CEO's business decisions and we long for our beloved Paris, where Georg is back in the office, post-corona.
