How well are businesses adapting to a changing world? A world where success is no longer measured by profits alone? On the first day of the Island Finance Forum, expert speakers discussed what governance and reporting structures must be considered by organisations to implement effective and compliant ESG initiatives. Here are some highlights from IFF2023:
2/ Building resilience has to be a multifaceted approach and cooperation between the private sector and public institutions is just as important in resolving the issues we currently encounter and achieving the ESG goals.
3/ Organizations need to be able to understand the importance of integrating ESG criteria into reporting, such as financial reporting on an annual basis, as well as into government structures.
4/ With a focus on ESG and Net Zero, companies like PwC in the Caribbean are increasingly supporting clients, stakeholders & businesses to adopt more sustainable practices and strategies while also leveraging its global expertise and resources to make positive impacts.
On May 3rd, experts from finance, policy, and industry will share their knowledge & experiences on how Portugal and the islands are leveraging the blue economy as a driver of economic growth.
