Sustainable Economy Summit
In this age of increasing social and environmental awareness, ESG issues are becoming a key element of business strategy and building competitive advantage in the market. Responding to these new challenges, the Executive Club has established a unique project to popularise the idea of ESG and sustainable development in business. The Sustainable Economy Summit is an event that demonstrates that fulfilling ESG criteria and pursuing sustainable development goals is not only an expression of responsibility for social and environmental well-being, but also an effective business strategy with tangible economic benefits. Meeting ESG targets also helps companies to optimise their own processes, through energy transformation, reduction of emissions and waste generation, and decarbonisation. ESG is also part of brand building as well as establishing trust among customers, who are increasingly choosing sustainable products and services. During the event, we show real examples illustrating that companies committed to ESG gain a tangible advantage in the market, enjoy greater investor interest and are better prepared for future challenges. The Sustainable Economy Summit shows that, in the long term, adhering to ESG principles translates into significant savings and cost reductions, and thus greater profitability.
