Managerial Accounting and Sustainability

Welcome to the Chair of Managerial Accounting and Sustainability!

In times of profound societal transformation—think of climate change, digitalization, social justice movements, and geopolitical shifts—organizations must rethink how they align people, processes, and purpose. At our Chair, we explore how management controls can empower individuals and organizations to navigate complexity, pursue multiple goals, and act responsibly. Management control is not only about improving performance—it’s about shaping workplaces that are fair, adaptive, and future-ready. We investigate how management controls can support both organizational effectiveness and societal progress, embracing the idea that the way we manage people today helps build the world we will live in tomorrow.
