The LUT Univerity will be the host for the 8th CSRCOM. The LUT Business School is one of Finland’s leading business schools, ranked 2nd in the country for Business and Economics (World University Rankings by Subject 2025). LUT Business School is home to an academic community that combines expertise from areas such as CSR communication, sustainable business, marketing, accounting, entrepreneurship, and supply management.

LUT Business School is located in a university of technology where business scholars, engineers and social scientists work together to advance systems level sustainability thinking. As such is the ideal place to hold the 8th CSRCom Conference. LUT Business School is committed to the Principles for Responsibility Management Education (PRME) and has systemically integrated sustainability and responsibility content to all its programs.

CSRCOM will take place on LUT University’s campus in Lappeenranta, Finland, right next to the beautiful Lake Saimaa and green forests.

The 8th CSRCom will be delighted to welcome you to Lappeenranta.

The Lappeenranta region is a combination of Eastern and Western cultural influences that have shaped the area for centuries. Besides the historical cobblestoned fortress that was once the center of tar trade, Lappeenranta is known for its harbor area and city bay that extends to a stunning lake archipelago – home to the endangered Saimaa ringed seal. Lappeenranta has won the European Green Leaf Award and has been selected as the Climate Capital of Finland. You can reach Lappeenranta in 2 hours by train from Helsinki.
