Think ahead, network, take responsibility - for a sustainable future.

The 8th Practical Day at the Wiesbaden Chamber of Industry and Commerce will mark the festive conclusion of the CSR Regio.Net Year 2025. It is open and free of charge to anyone interested in responsible and sustainable business.

In 2025, the program focuses on strong impulses for a responsible and sustainable economy. Reinhard Schneider, owner of Werner & Mertz, will show how consistent ecological responsibility can become a model for success and why it requires more courage and clarity in the corporate world.

A panel discussion invites participants to join in; various workshops will explore topics such as sustainable mobility, corporate volunteering and the current situation regarding EU reporting obligations.

In addition, Lord Mayor Gert-Uwe Mende, Head of Social Affairs Dr. Patricia Becher and IHK President Jörg Brömer will outline key sustainability perspectives from the local authority and business world. The practical day will be rounded off with space for exchange and networking.
