The ecological transition poses an increasingly significant challenge for businesses aiming to remain competitive in the market. Starting from this year, with the enforcement of the European Directive on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), companies will be required to publicly disclose the sustainability of their operations in terms of environmental, social, and corporate conduct impacts. Even Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), not mandated for sustainability reporting, will soon find themselves accountable for their sustainability practices to clients or financial institutions. The latter, in fact, will play a crucial role in supporting companies through the ecological transition but must be able to demonstrate financial flows toward sustainable businesses.

Finally, insights will be shared on how banks can assist businesses in achieving a tangible and realistic ecological transition.

Further details will follow.
