About this event
On 13th of May we invite you to dive into the relevant aspects of corporate citizenship, which (beyond legal compliance) can be a valuable source for enabling and securing Fintech success in a wider sense.
Why does it matter to reflect and define the ambition level and the company’s areas of contribution? How does it differentiate from risk management?
To which extent is it relevant for financing, investors, customers, employees and your digital community? What needs to be considered in your communication and reporting?
What are the practical steps of an ESG inclusive analysis, even at an early stage?
We discuss these questions with KfW Capital and Fintech practitioners.
This event will initiate a subsequent series of online deep dives for Fintechs to walk through a concrete ESG analysis for their business model. In three concise lunchtime meetings key practical takeaways, structured along E, S and G considerations will be provided and discussed.
Lunchtime series, follow-up deep dives, Moderated by: Thomas Mog, Berlin Institute for Governance and Leadership e.V.
Environmental: 22.05, 12.00 bis 13.00
What is the range of considerations for business activities externally and internally in the sustainability dimension for Fintechs (e.g. carbon, resources, energy), whether for its own operations or in connection with its customers and suppliers? As large scale materiality is unlikely to exist at the outset of starting up, this session is also about a future derivation of the materiality of the established business model to derive strategic implications at an early stage.
Social: 29.05 12.00 bis 13.00
How are the structures in the startup set up and how will they be developed when scaling up? (Inclusion and participation, salary logic/equal pay, corporate culture, conflict resolution, health management, working hours etc.). What are key practical considerations at an early stage?
Governance: 05.06 12.00 bis 13.00
Which operational provisions and balances are useful from a day to day business continuation perspective, at the start and subsequently (e.g. 4-eye principle, code of conduct, key person risk & substitution rules, documentation, working hours compliance, data protection)? Beyond the day to day aspects, how to set up and leverage an external advisory board for strategic sparring and advice.
