Sustainable development as a phenomenon has been out there for decades. In recent years, the ESG agenda has become a priority for economies. The systemic role of sustainable development in the economy is obvious today. At the same time, it is crucial to realize that this brings both threats and opportunities for Russia and for Russian business. Adapting the right way is vital here. We see our role in helping regions and businesses to do this, including by building and scaling the expertise.
