Accelerating the sustainable finance agenda
To 3o Athens ESG Forum έθεσε τα κρίσιμα ζητήματα για το sustainability transition
Με επιτυχία ολοκληρώθηκε χθες (σ.σ.20 Ιουνίου) στο ξενοδοχείο Sofitel Athens Airport, το 3ο Athens ESG Forum, στο οποίο συμμετείχαν περισσότερα από 300 υψηλόβαθμα στελέχη επιχειρήσεων και εκπρόσωποι φορέων.
Στο επίκεντρο της συζήτησης τέθηκε το εξής, ότι για την επιτυχή αντιμετώπιση των κρίσιμων ζητημάτων, όπως είναι η κλιματική κρίση, τα αυξανόμενα μεταναστευτικά ρεύματα και οι κοινωνικές ανισότητες, η συντονισμένη δράση μεταξύ του επιχειρηματικού κόσμου, των θεσμών και των κυβερνήσεων, με προσήλωση στους στόχους βιωσιμότητας, είναι ζωτικής σημασίας.
Επισημάνθηκε η σημασία της διαχείρισης των περιβαλλοντικών και κοινωνικών κινδύνων κατά τη μετάβαση σε μια βιώσιμη οικονομία., ενώ αναγνωρίστηκε ότι η αλλαγή είναι αναγκαία και ότι η πρόοδος πρέπει να επιτευχθεί με συνεκτικές δράσεις και καινοτόμες λύσεις.
Το συνέδριο αποτέλεσε μια σημαντική πηγή έμπνευσης και ανταλλαγής ιδεών για όλους τους συμμετέχοντες.
Η ΕΥ Ελλάδος ήταν μεγάλος χορηγός.

The state of ESG in Greece
OPEN NOW!
The Forum
Athens ESG Forum is the most prestigious conference about ESG and sustainable development in Greece, with more than 250 C-suite executives participating from large listed and non-listed companies. Speaker lineup includes sustainability, sustainable finance and impact investing experts from Greece and abroad: business executives, consultants, institutional reps, government officials and academics.
The 3rd Athens ESG Forum will be addressing the key challenges set by the mandatory implementation of CSRD on enterprises across the entire value chain; what steps should be taken to prepare for the transition plan in 2023 and be ready for the 2024 reporting cycle to stay compliant.
In June 2022, the European Council refined the proposal for a directive on corporate sustainability reporting (CSRD). This is undoubtedly a major step towards the implementation of the sustainable finance agenda. CSRD supports the transition to a sustainable economy together with creating positive environmental and social impact on a global scale. Aiming to increase the quality of information and transparency about impact of entrepreneurship on the society and the ecosystem, the directive will be gradually impacting the entire value chain, including SMEs by 2026.
Join us at the 3rd Athens ESG Forum to receive recent updates and to find out how to prepare for the implementation of the mandatory Corporate Sustainability reporting framework.
