Sustainability is rapidly raising its imporantance in the C-suites. This poses challenges but also opportunities for companies of all sizes.   Sustainability was on agenda also in the international EFAA Conference that took place for the the 30th time on 16 May in Brussels. The EFAA Conference is an international event organized by the EFAA for SMEs - European Federation of Accountants and Auditors for SMEs.   One of the panelists at the conference was Annina Tanhuanpää, SVP, ESG and Corporate Responsibility at OP Financial Group. Her expertise not only represents OP Financial Group’s and OP Corporate Banking's dedication to sustainability but also reinforces our ongoing efforts to integrate these principles into our core practices.   According to Tanhuanpää, it is important to keep a balance between the information needs of the banks and SMEs’ capabilities to provide this information. The right level of disclosure safeguards SME's position in the value chain.   #Sustainability #EFAA2024 #ESG
