From Vision to Action, Creating Value and Driving Impact
Thursday, June 26th, 2025 | Athens
The Athens ESG Forum serves as a catalyst for transforming businesses towards a more sustainable and resilient future in Greece, bringing together more than 300 sustainability leaders, industry experts and key stakeholders committed to advancing the ESG principles. Participants engage in thought-provoking keynote speeches, panel discussions, interactive workshops and content focused networking sessions, allowing for meaningful exchanges and collaborations.
The 5th Athens ESG Forum will tackle critical challenges and opportunities in the entrepreneurial landscape of Greece arising by the latest EU regulations, including the EU Taxonomy, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CS3D). As 2025 marks a pivotal year for Greek companies, the Forum will provide actionable insights and strategies to help businesses adapt and integrate these regulations into their core strategies. With a focus on aligning corporate initiatives with sustainability goals, this year’s Forum will inspire participants to transition “from vision to action”.
