What's happening at MSC:
Karin Buhmann becomes a member of the board of Ethical Trade Denmark on behalf of CBS |
|
At the Annual General Meeting for Ethical Trade Denmark in May, CBS was elected a member of the Board, representing the 'public institutions' group. MSC Professor Karin Buhmann will represent CBS. The Board membership runs for two years. CBS/Karin Buhmann has been a deputy member of the Board since May 2023.
Ethical Trade Denmark was established in Denmark in 2008 and has since then aimed to increase knowledge and understanding of ethics and responsibility in trade among its members, who come from companies, unions, organisations, and public institutions.
In its strategy for 2024-27, adopted at the General Meeting, Ethical Trade Denmark focuses in particular on three areas: a just green transition; sustainable global value chains; and development through responsible |
|
trade. These are all areas well suited to the expertise and educational programmes at CBS and MSC, and Karin Buhmann is looking forward to contributing to the Board’s work with these strategic areas.

MSC participates in second, Velux-funded, ‘Making Oceans Count’ initiative |
|
A new collaborative project between the Green Digital Finance Alliance (GDFA), HUB Ocean, and CBS has recently been launched. Funded by the Velux Foundation, "Making Oceans Count II " (MOC2) will develop much-needed blue indicators and metrics for measuring impacts and dependencies from human activities on nature. Ocean assets metrics are parameters or measurements used to assess the health, productivity, and sustainability of ocean resources. Through a systematic data-driven process, MOC2 will address the needs from future regulatory frameworks and ESG standards geared specifically towards the finance sector. With a primary focus on Denmark and the Nordics, the program is poised to generate insights with global relevance for a well-supported, sustainable blue economy.
