15th Annual
Report Symposium

What a great conference – the 15th Annual Report Symposium!

With a record attendance of 300 guests, the 15th edition of the Center for Corporate Reporting (CCR) Annual Report Symposium took place in mid-June. Under the motto “Beyond Compliance – Making a Difference”, the future of annual and sustainability reporting as well as communication in general was debated. A big compliment to the entire CCR team for this great event, which offered once more a varied program with inspiring keynotes, networking opportunities and practical sessions.

As a platinum partner, we had the opportunity to host one of the mentioned sessions: “Sustainability as a driver for business model transformation and value creation”. We would like to thank Swisscom and Saskia Günther and Gina Obrecht as well as Philip Morris International and Nicole Austin, CFA for their perspectives and insights on how they have driven their transformation. Also to Dr. Alexander Fleischer for his professional moderation of the lively session. It was great for up&up Consulting AG to share experiences from recent projects such as ETH Zürich, Vetropack Group or AMAG Group and exchange opinions, the strategic cornerstones for a successful implementation, but also challenges.

Part of this meeting was also the informal exchange with our clients and stakeholders. Thanks to Katharina Elena Kukiolka, Andrea Lingk, Ina Maria Walthert-Kaufmann, Simone Koch, Sabrina Oberholzer, Peer Nils Schröder, Johanna Walser, Anja Brun, Michèle Schnyder for the relaxed and fun lunchtime conversations. And to Johanna Walser for pointing out that we also live equalvoice on this occasion… 😉

One last comment to Bernhard Heusler: What a fresh and interesting keynote speech “A team always wins”. Very humorous and with a lot of inspiring content!Like every year, but this year’s Annual Report Symposium was particularly again a real pleasure. THANK YOU Reto Schneider, Barbara Zäch, Thomas Scheiwiller, Helen Gloor, Anna Kremer, Stefanie Matt!
