ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance)

To mark World Environment Day, APEMETA promoted another edition of its “APEMETA Mornings”, this time focused on ESG as a strategic business tool.

impact partners was represented by Joana Andrade, who delivered a presentation entitled “How to report ESG criteria“. The session also included contributions from C-MORE, Banco BPI and Lipor, and provided valuable insights into the evolving ESG landscape in Portugal.

One of the key takeaways from the event was that, although ESG reporting is not yet mandatory for most Portuguese companies, both clients and financial institutions are increasingly requesting information regarding a company’s ESG maturity and performance indicators.

It became clear that ESG is emerging as a strategic lever for organizational development – particularly in terms of competitiveness, market differentiation, and access to finance.
