The GRONEN Research Conference 2022 was hosted by the Amsterdam Business School at the University of Amsterdam and took place from May 31 to June 2. The conference offered diverse formats, including regular paper sessions, short paper development sessions, special issue sessions, social events, innovative professional development sessions, and interactive plenary discussions/keynotes by leading scholars and practitioners.

During the conference, Dr. Matthew Johnson, a postdoctoral researcher at the Chair of Management & Sustainability and member of the D°GREES project team presented the paper "Beyond corporate responses to climate change towards deep decarbonization: A systematic literature review". It is a joint paper project with Theresa Rötzel and Brigitte Frank, both doctoral researchers at the Chair and also members of D°GREES. On day two, D°GREES project chair Prof. Dr. Timo Busch and Lisa Scheitza, who is also working as doctoral researcher at the Chair, presented their paper "The Effect of Shareholder Proposals on Firms' ESG and Carbon Performance" in the plenary paper session on impact.

The conference offered lively discussions, valuable feedback, and great networking opportunities for our team members, who are already looking forward to the next GRONEN conference in two years.
