About us

ESG Adria Summit will take place in Porto Montenegro from 24th to 26th April 2024, bringing together business leaders, high-level government, international organisations, civil society representatives, and sustainability experts from the Adria region and beyond. This year’s event expands on the legacy of the highly successful inaugural Western Balkans ESG Summit 2023, the first major regional event devoted to sustainable development and dialogue on greater responsibility of the business sector regarding environmental, social and governance standards (ESG) in practice. Last year, over 500 attendees from over 150 companies, governments, and other organisations gathered to discuss the implications of ESG for “The Business of the Future” in the Western Balkans. This year, we will convene under the banner “Act Now for a Sustainable Tomorrow” to identify and discuss new solutions, initiatives and investments that can help accelerate the transition to a more sustainable future and ESG agenda in Adria and beyond. Keynotes, panels and workshops under the Summit’s 2024 themes Sustainable Finance, Green Transition and Social Licence to Operate will all focus on real regional issues and practical solutions to empower businesses to set and achieve their ESG objectives and regulatory compliance requirements. ESG Adria Summit is organized by Sustineri Partners and Porto Montenegro, in partnership with the Government of Montenegro and under the auspices of the President of Montenegro, Jakov Milatović.

  • 🗣️ It’s easy to focus on policies and structures, but real organisational change starts with understanding human behaviour. Dr Wieke Scholten PhD's work reminds us that behavioural risk isn't just a compliance issue - it’s about the people within our organisations and their actions. Her extensive experience highlights the power of social psychology in driving ethical conduct. She was formerly a Head of Audit for Behavioural Risk at NatWest Group, Senior Supervisor of Behaviour & Culture at the Dutch Central Bank and (co-) Lead Partner of Behavioural Risk at &samhoud consultancy. As a result of her rich experience, especially in team climate and conduct, she provides practical tools for leaders to navigate human behaviour to overcome financial complexities. How can leaders effectively translate psychological insights into actionable strategies for ethical business conduct? We look forward to having Dr. Wieke Scholten explore these crucial questions at the ESG Adria Summit 2025. 📅 9-11 April 2025 📍 Porto Montenegro, Tivat 🔗 Learn more about Wieke Scholten: https://lnkd.in/ekMmGYrF #BehaviouralRisk #ESG #ESGAdria #Leadership #OrganisationalPsychology

  • The energy landscape is evolving at a rapid pace. It's a powerful moment when traditional companies don't try to resist the changes, but rather embrace the innovation to join them. That's why, we're honoured to welcome Rudnik uglja Pljevlja , a key player in Montenegro's energy sector, as a Bronze Partner of the ESG Adria Summit 2025. What truly makes Rudnik Pljevlja stand out in Montenegro's energetic landscape is their strategic dedication to evolve towards sustainable practices. Environmental protection by reducing their footprint through use of modern technologies is core of its way of conducting operations. Coupled with their focus on community development, only shows us that even the traditional energy industry can be part of responsible progress. By implementing robust energy management systems and strict global environmental standards, they're opting for responsible energy production. It makes you think, doesn't it?

  • Montenegro’s media are paying close attention to ESG, and for good reason. As sustainability moves from aspiration to necessity, conversations around responsible business are gaining momentum. Our recent discussion at Televizija E highlighted the growing regional interest in ESG strategy, investment, and impact. At ESG Adria Summit, we’ll explore these themes in depth—bringing together business leaders, policymakers, and experts to drive meaningful change. From net-zero commitments to regulatory shifts, the agenda is built around action, not just discussion. The media’s engagement in these topics is a positive sign. It reflects a broader shift in priorities—one where sustainability and business success go hand in hand. What ESG issues do you think deserve more attention in this region?
