About the conference

12th Annual Responsible Business Research Seminar

What does corporate responsibility mean in today’s society? How do responsible and ethical aspects appear in different business models and business environments? How can we conduct research about these aspects and develop them further?

The Responsible Business Research Seminar is organised in order to increase the visibility and to promote research on business responsibility, sustainability and ethics in Finland. In 2024, the seminar is organised for the 12th time in a hybrid format. Languages of the seminar are Finnish and English.
