ESG & FRIENDS 2026, 17 February, Sofia

The fifth edition of ESG&FRIENDS once again brings together experts, business leaders, institutions, and visionaries to seek answers to the key challenges facing sustainable development. The ESGnews.bg forum has established itself as a strategic platform for dialogue that not only monitors trends in ESG but also actively shapes them through real-life examples, policies, innovations, and partnerships.

This year, the focus is on topics that directly affect the sustainability of the economy, business competitiveness, and public safety – from new regulatory requirements and the transformation of supply chains, through the water and food crisis, to the mental health of employees, ESG risks in the financial sector, and the role of artificial intelligence.

During the forum, Prof. Dr. Jan Jonker will give a lecture on “How is value changing in business?” He will also hold an interactive workshop on “Rethinking the business model: from profit to impact and value.” Tickets for the lecture can be found HERE.

Here are the main topics of Forum 2026:

  • Omnibus regulations
  • Global Trends Reshaping Supply Chains
  • Resource Crisis
  • ESG and Human Capital: Mental Health
  • Integrating ESG Risks
  • Artificial Intelligence
