Event Description




Responsible lobbying 
Hopeless oxymoron, essential ambition, or both?

 

2nd November 2022, 14:30-16:00,
VENUE DH.V.2.88
Copenhagen Business School

 

What is on the horizon for corporate lobbying? – and what could this mean for research, policy and practice?

We invite you to a workshop on what responsibilities do and should attach to businesses when it comes to their lobbying and broader political engagement in a world of politicisation and populism, purpose and various crises dynamics. Once an orphan topic the issue of responsible lobbying is increasingly pushing onto centre stage and merits more attention.
We envision the workshop as a conversation at the nexus of research, policy and practice to surface interesting dynamics and fertile new questions.
 
The workshop will be structured around a short presentation by Dr Dieter Zinnbauer (Marie Curie Research Fellow) of his recent paper: CORPORATE POLITICAL RESPONSIBILITY: Mobilizing the Private Sector for Political Integrity 

There will be short comments from discussants from the worlds of scholarship (Professor Jeremy Moon) and practice (TBC), and then discussion will be opened up to consider issues arising, e.g.:
  • How are public expectations for responsible political engagement by business evolving?
  • What are the implications for business leaders and lobbyists?
  • Is the nature of lobbying changing in the light of new digital tools and tactics for political influence?
  • Do current sustainability agendas and expanding business responsibilities impact on public expectations of, tools / tactics for, and business approaches to political influence?
  • Can new sustainability diagnostics and corporate accountability frameworks help shape responsible lobbying?
