8 Industry-Led Publications to Enable a Social & Green Deal
The documents – released throughout the European SDG Summit 2022 - support companies in setting the strategic direction for the pursuit of an inclusive European Green Deal.
The climate crisis is bringing fundamental changes in the way we live, work, consume, and move. The European Green Deal offers a common framework for action towards a carbon-neutral, digital economy. However, the twin transition can only be successful if businesses, policymakers, and stakeholders at large empower the S of the ESG and guarantee social fairness.
For this reason, at the European SDG Summit 2022 CSR Europe will release 8 industry-led publications aimed at:
