ESG for all: How to finance your transition?
Debates can be held in English, Dutch and French.
You already understand the importance of employee wellbeing, creating a healthy and inclusive work environment, reducing your environmental footprint, and implementing more transparent and responsible governance.
In short, you are aware that integrating ESG aspects into your business model allows you to access new opportunities, differentiate yourself from the competition, and prepare your company for the challenges of tomorrow.
But how can you finance all these initiatives? What tools can you use? And how can you combine economic performance with a positive impact?
