The Environment Ireland ESG Forum takes place on February 27, 2025, at the Talbot Hotel, Stillorgan, Co Dublin.
Following a sold-out conference in 2024, the Environment Ireland annual ESG Forum returns for 2025 to assess the most recent ESG developments.
Bringing together more than 200 key stakeholders, the conference will focus on the current challenges facing organisations and their ESG strategies.
ESG cuts across many organisational areas and presents complex challenges including reporting, capturing data and creating good governance. In an ever evolving landscape, the need to move from theory to action is now essential when considering external factors such as environmental and social impacts.
Measuring and responding to these impacts has become a necessity as is having a strong governance framework in place to embed the best social and environmental practices.
The social element of ESG has historically found itself less defined than its environmental and governance counterparts. However, many social issues such as human rights, diversity and inclusion and supply chains are now moving to the forefront. ESG is also playing an important role in finance, with a growing focus on sustainable and responsible investment.
This annual conference will hear from visiting and local expert speakers who will explore the future outlook for ESG for both public and private sectors and what it will mean for your organisation.
