Panel Discussion 1: From Passion to Project
Moderator: Bernhard Bartsch (Bertelsmann Foundation)
Speaker: Giana Lin (ForNGO), Yan Hu (Edscha), Pauline Soudy (Feiy), Thilo Koeppe (Huber+Suhner)
What happens when passionate employees come up with a CSR idea or initiative and approach their employer’s executive management? They form one of the most symbiotic forms in modern companies through the power of engagement and meaning. We all long for meaning in life and want to be proud of what we create, so why should it stop after one’s base education and not be put to a higher use to the benefit of one’s employer and the general public? According to a study by the Corporate Executive Board cited by PwC in 2014, employees that are more committed to their organizations put in 57 percent more effort on the job and are even about 87 percent less likely to resign. After all the core of success comes from the people working at a company.
Now that the multilateral world economy is under pressure of withstanding several objectives, long-term financial and social goals can make a difference when it comes to consumer trust and sustainable growth.
Against this background, Bertelsmann invited industry experts, as well as passionate employees who are driving the CSR strategies in their companies, to discuss best practices and major challenges.

Panel 2: Gender Equality
Moderator: Dr. Sigrid Winkler (German Chamber), Anika Sina Laudien (Bertelsmann Foundation)
Speakers: Charlene Liu (Ladies Who Tech), Helen Xie (SAP), Anika Christophe (Deutsche Leasing)
Having been declared a key sustainable development goal by the United Nations, the achievement of full gender equality and empowerment of all women and girls has gotten to the attention of more and more nations, institutions and companies around the world. According to the World Bank women in China represent almost half the country’s population (48.5%, 2017). It is estimated that they contribute as much as 41% to the country’s GDP, which according to a McKinsey study from 2015 counts for a higher share than in most regions.
While the United Nations state that they have been observing overall progress in efforts towards gender equality and empowerment, today’s developed societies must do better on a variety of fronts on the subject matter. As for China, although female participation in its workforce is higher than the global average (The World Bank, Modeled ILO Estimate) and it is home to more female billionaires than any other country in the world (BBC, 2018), gender diversity is far from being regarded as a strategic priority to many Chinese companies.
In this context, the More than a Market Forum invited three female managers and entrepreneurs who will share their experience on this topic which has been experienced increasing attention for some time.
