The city of Minsk, Belarus, is set to host the highly anticipated conference titled "On the Path to a Sustainable Future: The ESG Challenge" on November 22. Organized by the Ministry of Economy, this event aims to foster discussions on the integration and implementation of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles across various industries and sectors.
Notable attendees include high-ranking officials such as Nikolai Snopkov, First Deputy Prime Minister, Valery Belitsky, Deputy Chairman of the Council of the Republic, Maxim Yermolovich, Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration, and Alexander Chervyakov, Minister of Economy. Alongside these dignitaries, representatives from production businesses, the expert community, the banking sector, and heads of republican state bodies are expected to participate in the conference.
The conference will delve into the complex task of adapting the ESG agenda to national priorities, considering ESG factors in company activities, and their involvement in achieving sustainable development goals. Key discussion points will focus on the challenges and opportunities associated with ESG transformation, the role of digitalization and artificial intelligence (AI) in project management, sustainable and "green" construction practices, strategies for protecting business interests under restrictive conditions such as sanctions, and financing solutions during liquidity crises.
As sustainability becomes increasingly important for stakeholders, the conference serves as a primary platform for dialogue among construction sector participants amid contemporary pressures including sanctions and ESG transitions. It will feature plenary sessions, thematic sections, practical case studies, and involvement from leading industry companies, demonstrating how ESG factors can be embedded in business models and infrastructure projects to contribute to a sustainable and environmentally responsible future.
