DiesInnoBA #1: ESG IMPACTS: OPPORTUNITIES, CRITERIA AND MEASUREMENT METHODS

The ESG Impact - environmental, social and good governance - of companies is an increasingly present topic in terms of a sustainable, resilient and local economy. Impact companies or companies with impact are often discussed to identify those organizations that take into account the environmental and social criteria of their economic activity. In this sense, the Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) already incorporates in its principles this triple dimension of impacts as an identifying element. 

The DiesInnoBA sessions of autumn 2023 have focused on the ESG impacts: their reason to exist and their challenges and opportunities. Through different activities, a joint reflection is generated between social economy organizations, commercial companies and citizens around what we understand by ESG impacts, how we measure them and how the ESG criteria are linked to investments.
