Impact Partners published an article on ESG and sustainable compliance in the ceramics industry

Impact partners was invited to contribute to the latest edition of Kéramica magazine, a key reference in the ceramics sector. The article, authored by Joana Andrade, Partner at Impact Partners, addresses the challenges and opportunities of ESG in the context of the ceramics industry.

The article, titled “ESG Commitment and Sustainable Compliance: from Obligation to Strategic Value”, analyzes major regulatory developments currently underway, including the scope of Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the impact of the upcoming Omnibus Directive package, and the introduction of the Voluntary Sustainability Reporting Standard for SMEs (VSME).

The ESG concept is presented as a strategic pillar of competitiveness rather than a mere legal obligation—demonstrating its potential to strengthen resilience, attract investment, enable access to new markets, and drive the modernization of the sector.

“Acting today in a structured way means preparing for a future where environmental, social, and governance excellence will be inseparable from the very economic viability of businesses,” highlights Joana Andrade in the article.

The publication reinforces Impact Partners’ position as a key partner in supporting the sustainable transition of the Portuguese industry.
