Decarbonization as a Condition of Financing for Ukrainian Business: A New Initiative from The UN Global Compact Network Ukraine
European regulations, investor demands, and the transformation of supply chains are creating new challenges for companies today. Decarbonization is becoming an increasingly significant competitive advantage and a prerequisite for attracting capital. Therefore, is it possible to enter new markets without a climate strategy?
This is precisely what representatives from the business and financial sectors, as well as experts, will discuss at the UN Global Compact Network Ukraine during the event titled “Decarbonization as a Condition of Financing for Ukrainian Business”. UABIO is the event’s media partner.
