Download the ESG maturity in companies in Slovakia

In an ideal world, the fight against climate change would involve not only ordinary citizens who would change their consumer behavior, but also smaller or larger companies whose activities have a significant impact on the environment would follow them. The global involvement of all relevant entities would also be a matter of course.

However, the reality looks different. During the last fifteen years, the establishment of a responsible corporate policy of large companies has focused primarily on the area of ​​CSR, in which companies aspired to become responsible partners for their business associates, employees, their immediate surroundings, and the region where they operate. All this happened in a relatively little measurable form and based mostly on a voluntary basis. The exception was the regulations established by the standard, which had to be followed.

Companies in Slovakia are currently moving their level of responsibility forward. Some do so on their own initiative, others because they are ordered to do so by legislation. The current responsibility challenge takes the form of three key concepts: "Environment", "Social" and "Governance", known by the acronym ESG, which every business will have to deal with in the future.
