  • Culture and sustainability
    Based on a previously conducted project, consisting of a thorough assessment of sustainability measurement sys-tems, Prof. Dr. Susann Kowalski and Prof. Dr. Agnieszka Gehringer are empirically investigating the relationship be-tween country-level cultural characteristics and sustainability performance. The latter is gauged by various sustainabil-ity measurement systems, among which the Sustainable Society Index (SSI), released at the TH Köln. Accordingly, the project ties in with further developments and improvements of the SSI.
