Topic:
ESG is one of the key topics discussed at almost every conference today. While in the past, implementing ESG indicators was trendy, it has now become necessary for many companies due to European Union regulations. The number of entities subject to this obligation will increase year by year. The implementation of ESG standards is considered in almost every business strategy. The provisions of the CSRD directive set the direction for the development of European businesses. Moreover, issues related to ESG are increasingly being analyzed by banks and other financial institutions. The ESG theme is directly related to renewable energy sources because the share of green energy in ESG reporting is one of the most important elements in environmental standards. Currently, there is also increasing talk about greenwashing, which ESG standards aim to prevent, protecting consumers from false "green PR" used by some companies. During the panel, the forms of utilizing green energy in industry will be analyzed in terms of meeting ESG standards.
