We encourage you to read the article in which we present 5 key topics in 2025 in the field of ESG.
From 2025, reporting obligations in accordance with the CSRD directive and ESRS standards will apply to large companies, both listed and unlisted, that meet certain criteria, such as exceeding employment or financial thresholds. In the same year, the first companies will be subject to mandatory sustainability reporting.
The demand for ESG experts will increase significantly. In order to meet new challenges, companies will invest in developing employee competences, recruiting specialists and cooperating with educational institutions. The development of training programmes, the inclusion of ESG topics in higher education and initiatives raising environmental awareness will be priorities.
Advances in artificial intelligence and data analytics open up new possibilities for ESG monitoring and reporting. Technologies supporting business processes enable faster data collection and identification of areas requiring improvement. At the same time, companies need to consider the potential risks that may be associated with the use of AI.
The energy transition in 2025 is gaining momentum, supported by significant investments and cooperation between the public and private sectors. The development of renewable energy sources and electromobility is becoming a priority, bringing financial, operational and reputational benefits to companies involved in the process. Investments in green technologies support future-proof business models and address the needs of sustainable development.
The growing importance of sustainable finance in 2025 is becoming a clear trend that shapes the strategy of many companies. Investors are increasingly directing their funds towards green bonds, ESG funds and other financial instruments supporting sustainable development. Additionally, financial institutions are taking steps towards greater transparency by introducing standards for assessing sustainable investments.
The upcoming changes in ESG are not only a challenge, but also an opportunity to strengthen the market position and contribute to building a more sustainable economy. Companies that proactively prepare for the new requirements will be better adapted to function in the dynamically changing world of business.
