For the fifth time, the Dr. Walter Kapaun Foundation presented its study award in cooperation with the Faculty of Business, Economics, and Social Sciences of the University of Hamburg for outstanding theses and dissertations in the field of ethics, corporate social responsibility, and sustainability. Three winners each among the Bachelor's and Master's students as well as one doctoral student were honored this year.

The D°GREES project team is very proud and happy that the first prize among the Master's theses was awarded to our team member Theresa Rötzel. In her thesis, she investigated the hurdles for German companies on the path to deep decarbonization. Based on semi-structured expert interviews, she examined how companies from different sectors face and tackle the challenges related with corporate climate action.

The prize will be awarded again next year. Students and thesis supervisors can contact Stefanie Remmer from the Chair of Business Administration, esp. Business Ethics, with any questions: stefanie.remmer"AT"uni-hamburg.de.
