These companies face deteriorating financing conditions, loss of competitiveness, and increasing legislative demands for decarbonization. A lax approach to sustainability brings not only financial but also social consequences, resulting in the loss of young talents. A unique analysis by the ESG CLUB clearly shows that inaction in the area of ESG can lead to significant financial losses, weak long-term competitiveness, and eventually existential problems.
