One Health & One Welfare – Insights on Animal Welfare for Future Leaders
Anna Hielm-Björkman, Assistant Professor, Docent of Clinical Research in Companion Animals, University of Helsinki, Finland
What is One Health & One Welfare, and what do future leaders and business practicitioners need to know about this approach? Given that One Health & One Welfare integrates the interconnections between animal welfare, human well-being, and the physical and social environment, future leaders and business practitioners can play a pivotal role in fostering a more sustainable and equitable world, where the health and well-being of humans, animals, and the environment are all prioritized.

Nonhumans as Stakeholders: Fostering Ethical Leadership in a Multispecies Agenda
José-Carlos García-Rosell, Professor of Business Ethics, Oulu Business School, University of Oulu, Finland
Although stakeholder theory has traditionally been anthropocentric, an emerging stream of literature is expanding stakeholder thinking to include nonhumans. Who are nonhuman stakeholders? How does stakeholder status contribute to the inclusion of nonhumans in organizations? What role do research and education play in promoting multispecies leadership? By using the case of sled dog kennels as a multispecies organizational context, this presentation will shed light into the meaning of ethical leadership and business practices that consider the well-being and needs of both human and nonhuman tourism workers.
15:15 – 15:45
Biodiversity Respectful Leadership – Shaping the Future
Satu Teerikangas, Professor of Management and Organization, University of Turku, Finland
What is Biodiversity Respectful Leadership, and how can this approach foster a paradigm shift in leadership? Addressing biodiversity decline and loss calls for transformative change. This presentation explores how leadership can enable such transformative change. Building on interdisciplinary conceptual and empirical research, the presentation offers insights into biodiversity-respectful leadership. Moreover, the challenges and opportunities involved in such conceptualization are discussed.
