ESG: OPPORTUNITIES RISING As governments, businesses and citizens look towards the 'new reality' of life after COVID-19, environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues are quickly rising up the agenda. Sustainability is the new lens through which companies will be evaluated and the world looks to the future where greater adoption of ESG is a norm. We should recognize that moving towards a low-carbon economy and move to use of renewable energy will create additional complexities for firms. However, I believe that opportunities will prevail. And those who will stay one step ahead will be the winners. The Czech Republic is ready to embrace Green technologies and is standing at the forefront of advancement, with governments incentivizing firms and individuals to make smarter choices that consider the environmental impact of their actions. At the same time, the Czech Government is emphasising the stability of supplies and necessary security and safety measures, which are increasingly important in the energy sector and industries dependent on stable supplies of gas and electricity. This is also an important part of the agenda of the Czech Presidency of the EU in 2022. CARVING THE NEW DIGITAL PATH The global pandemic acted also as a catalyst for many of innovative offerings and accelerating its uptake. The pace of change is faster than before. Many executives are struggling to understand the future trends and set a vision that will enable their organization to capitalize on them. Even those with a strong vision are not sure whether they are moving fast enough to compete in the new world. Our professionals sit down with business leaders across the ecosystem to find out how these new trends are influencing their strategies and investments. I want to share good news: the future remains exciting in our region. My words are marked with many examples of product and service innovations undertaken in the Czech industry recently. So, the ambition of the country is clear: to become one of Europe's innovation leaders. Already the Czechs belong among the EU's frontrunners as it is the 9th most advanced economy in EU according to Prosperity Index. 6
