Responsible\nOrganizing Conference is an exceptionally interesting and informative event\nregarding sustainability and sustainable development. The conference is\norganized on this Tuesday, 19th<\/sup> November 2019 with over 200\nparticipants and 30 speakers coming from different industries and backgrounds. Undoubtedly,\nI was extremely proud and excited to get involved in the event as a Hanken\nstudent and I truly think that it was a wise decision to attend the event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin\nwith, the opening of the event was the Plenary Session of “Innovation and\nInclusion” which includes insightful presentations from three keynote\nspeakers, which are Karin Berglund \u2013 a professor of Business from Stockholm\nBusiness School, Katja Toropainen \u2013 Founder of Inklusiiv, and Antti Nousjoki \u2013\nan architect and a partner at ALA, followed by an active panel discussion with\nprofessor Jeff Hearn as a moderator. The session, in general, was fruitful and\nfilled with excitement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the\nPlenary Session, we enjoyed an intimate lunch altogether and it was an ideal\ntime to network, get in touch with new contacts, and initiate different\ndiscussion revolving around sustainability and its issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately,\neveryone cannot participate in all the workshops organized in the afternoon but\ncan only choose two out of six. Hence, I set sight on two particular workshops,\nwhich are \u201cHow to transition to a Sustainable Food System in Finland?\u201d and \u201cGet\non-board to your next Humanitarian Rescue mission!\u201d. Honestly speaking, I was\ndeeply immersed in both sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former\nsession, to me, was highly intriguing and dense of knowledge related to the food\nindustry and its entire ecosystem. It is thought-provoking to know that the\nfood system accounts for approximately 20% to 30% of global greenhouse gas\n(GHG) emissions and the majority of emissions comes from the production\nprocess. On top of that, about one-third or more than 30% of the total food\nproduced globally is lost or wasted and this, in fact, exert detrimental impact\non both environmental and social dimension. Nevertheless, it is also fascinating\nto see that changing the eating habit and diet by consuming more local\nproducts, increasing seasonality in our consumption choice, and reducing the\namount of ruminant meat consumption can significantly decrease the GHG\nemissions, and lessen harmful consequences on the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving on, due\nto the fact that I am a student of HUMLOG track, and I have a huge interest in\nfield of Humanitarian Aid and Logistics, therefore, the latter session – Humanitarian\nRescue Mission was the highlight of today\u2019s conference for me. This workshop\nwas practical, interactive, and incredibly interesting. During the workshop,\nevery participant was assigned to a team of 4 to 5 people and there were 4\nteams in total, which are team Yellow, Blue, Green, and Red. We were set in a\nmission to provide enough supplies including food, medicine, and shelter to\naffected people in 4 conflicted zones, with only limited resources of truck,\nmoney, and inventory. On top of that, the real-life challenges of postponement\nand delays caused by traffic congestion, and market unavailability are also\nincluded to increase the difficulty and encourage us all to think profoundly,\nyet swiftly when making decision. Since the need in each area is highly\ndemanding and comes in large quantity, every team must coordinate with each\nother to supply sufficiently the necessities to the people and accomplish the\nmission. The game, in fact, illustrates vividly and realistically what does the\nhumanitarian rescue look like in real world and teaches us all about the\nimportance of coordination, sharing goals and mission to achieve something on a\ngreater scale. A big thank to everyone at HUMLOG Institute for organizing this\namazing workshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All in all,\nI would highly recommend the Responsible Organizing Conference to everyone of\nall ages and backgrounds for next year. Can\u2019t wait to be a part of the event\none more time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
