ZEIT Reception Davos 2024 - in cooperation with KPMG
At the joint event organised by KPMG and DIE ZEIT at the World Economic Forum entitled "Why ESG and Resilience Matter: Securing Tomorrow's Success", high-calibre representatives from the business world discussed ESG, resilience and the transformation of German companies. The panellists included Belén Garijo (Merck Group), Christian Sewing (Deutsche Bank) and Michael Sen (Fresenius Group).
Mattias Schmelzer, CEO and Spokesman of the Executive Board in the Corporates division at KPMG Germany, emphasised the need to see the connections between the topics discussed. Effective changes can only be achieved if the topics are considered in context.
