On Monday 10th June, we were delighted to bring our series of International Market Workshops to a close with a morning event explaining ESG and why it\u2019s important to local tech startups and scaleups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ESG (Environmental, Societal, Government) has been a big trending topic within the industry, and the conversations surrounding the subject have intensified in particular in the last few months. This is down to a couple of key reasons. The first is that new legislation is being implemented to formalise the practice of sustainability reporting, which will eventually affect hundreds of operating tech businesses in the Oulu region. The second is that it\u2019s becoming a priority for investors, with many believing that enterprises with solid ESG practices in place are a safer bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the difficulties that some founders might face is knowing where in the world to start on their journey towards building and maintaining rock-solid ESG credentials. Thankfully, Renata Balbina from Greenstep<\/a>\u2019s Oulu HQ delivered a fascinating and informative presentation to our audience that broke down what companies will need to do to comply with forthcoming regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also explained some of the easy wins that can be applied immediately, as well as illustrating some case studies from within the ICT sector that shone a light on some real life examples of practices that have been implemented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
