CES ESG CONFERENCE 2025
September 18th, Bucharest Palace of the Parliament
As ESG becomes a central driver of regulation, investment and consumer expectations, Romanian companies face increasing pressure to deliver measurable sustainability outcomes. From 2024, the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requires over 1,000 companies to disclose ESG metrics alongside financial results, creating both a challenge and an opportunity for businesses to align competitiveness with environmental and social responsibility. This conference brings together public authorities, corporate leaders, and ESG experts to explore actionable strategies for integrating ESG, mobilizing capital and fostering cross-sector collaboration.
The event will cover a consistent spectrum of sustainability hot topics – green financing and financial instruments for incentivizing circularity, public-private partnerships for circular economy projects, as well as digital and community-driven solutions that engage citizens and maximize impact and many other. Speakers will share lessons from large-scale initiatives, highlighting best practices, regulatory insights and tools for transparency and accountability.
Attendees will gain practical insights into aligning investments, policy frameworks and community engagement to achieve tangible sustainability results. With discussions on strategic vision, ESG actionables and leveraging innovation for efficiency, CES ESG Conference offers a unique platform to benchmark, exchange knowledge and accelerate Romania’s transition to a net-zero, resilient and inclusive economy.
