Viktor Ivanchyk, the founder and the CEO of ASTARTA-KYIV:
“Until recently, sustainable business was considered as a niche approach to financing and investment, today it is an important element of financial strategy and investment decisions. Responsibility towards nature and social environment is a sustainable way forward, without which it will be difficult for Ukraine and Ukrainian businesses to position themselves favourably in the world market of capital, goods and services.
Investors, bankers, experts and other stakeholders are now analysing the long-term effectiveness of investments, assessing them according to environmental, social and management (ESG) criteria. They pay attention to how these factors affect the long-term financial risk and return on investment. After all, it is the integration of these factors into financial and business decisions that will help to solve today's global challenges”.
