We are in the middle of a comprehensive, unprecedented economic transformation process. This includes the social as well as the ecological dimensions of the economy. Only an economy that is oriented towards diverse sustainability will master the challenges of the future.
The csrTAG 2024organized by respACT, Austria’s leading corporate platform for sustainable business, focuses on diversity as an entrepreneurial resource and as a social and planetary reality. Under the title Diversity² – It’s In Our Nature! The topics of diversity and biodiversity will be highlighted, discussed and promoted on October 16th in the UniCreditCenter at Kaiserwasser.
The participants can expect a program that is unique in Austria in which, moderated by the renowned journalist Isabella Richtar, high-caliber expert knowledge is shared and debated in a variety of contributions, topic talks and breakout sessions. Tickets for csrTAG 2024 are still available https://www.csrtag.at/ available.

Experts from various areas of business and society as well as the most renowned and exciting companies in Austria guarantee a diversity of perspectives that are appropriate to the complex topic of diversity. After all, diversity and biodiversity are intertwined in many ways. We want to work that out too.”
host Robert ZadrazilCountry Manager Austria at UniCredit, emphasized the great importance of the entire range of ESG (Environment/Social/Governance) topics for his company: “Sustainability and climate protection are strategic future issues for which we are laying the foundation in the here and now, and this also includes biodiversity.
We also focus on social projects as well as diversity and inclusion by promoting a diverse workforce and strengthening an inclusive corporate culture. As a long-standing member of respACT, we are very pleased to welcome the participants of the csrTAG 2024 back to the UniCredit Center Am Kaiserwasser.”
One newly established program structure is intended to help better meet the diverse interests and professional backgrounds of the participants. For the first time, the breakout sessions will be thematically bundled on three specific tracks. In addition to the focused tracks, a series of open workshops encourage active audience participation.
- The Innovation Track is aimed at people who work with sustainable start-ups and are interested in new solutions.
- The SME Track is specifically tailored to the needs of small and medium-sized companies.
- The Corporate Track is intended for professionals who are responsible for sustainability in large companies.
“The respACT network, in which Austria’s leading companies as well as organizations from science, politics and civil society cooperate with each other, is a top-class platform to pool expertise and exchange in the interests of the urgently needed sustainable and economic transformation. It is therefore no coincidence that the csrTAG organized by respACT has established itself as an annual highlight for future topics – this year diversity. The special focus of the congress is on exchange and content that can be implemented in everyday business life. Diversity – which, according to renowned studies, is a driving force for innovation and agility and is therefore an important success factor for a company – offers exciting aspects.”
explains respACT President Peter Giffinger.
This Practical relevance is particularly reflected in the content of the breakout sessions. A small excerpt from the offer:
- AI for tomorrow: How diversity and sustainable solutions shape the future.
- Due diligence and diversity in the supply chain. Relevance for small and medium-sized companies
- Navigating Diversity, hosted by the bettertogether group: Practical tips and strategies to make companies sustainable and inclusive.
In addition, csrTAG cooperation partners act as pioneers to implement take-overs on the main stage and in this way contribute their experience and expertise. myclimate, Austria’s only non-profit climate protection organization, addresses the challenges for companies in sustainability reporting. Christof Fuchs, Managing Director myclimate Austria: “Change, Strategy, Resilience, Direction – these four words pave the way for companies to a sustainable and successful future. In our take-over we show how companies put these values into practice and that Fully exploit the potential of CSRD.”
Kathrin Proprentner from Crowe Vienna and Carinthia sees diversity “as a decisive factor in our existence. The concept of biodiversity in the sense of ecological diversity is closely interwoven with diversity understood as social, cultural and economic diversity. The interaction between nature and people is a challenge for companies, but it also offers opportunities for sustainable action. We want to use this!”
