ESG for all : How to finance your transition?
Debates can be held in English, Dutch and French.
Sustainable transition is a strategic movement that integrates social and environmental dimensions into your company's business model. Adopting responsible practices paves the way for innovation, allows you to differentiate yourself from the competition and access new growth markets, while increasing your resilience. Far from being a constraint, the transition represents an opportunity to rethink economic models and prepare your company for the challenges of tomorrow.
How can you finance your transition?
In this context that the ESG for All cycle takes place. Each month, it brings together entrepreneurs and committed stakeholders around ESG issues, to share experiences, challenges, and solutions in a spirit of inspiration and action.
This edition, in collaboration with the 2030 CEO Alliance for Sustainability, and in the presence of ING and Funds For Good, will highlight providers of solutions and financing initiatives for the transition, explore the challenges encountered, and follow the journey of entrepreneurs already engaged in these efforts.
