11th Annual Capital Link Sustainability Forum
INVITATION
Capital Link is pleased to invite you to:
The "11th Annual Capital Link Sustainability Forum" entitled “Tackling Social & Economic Transformation/ Sustainable Growth: Environment – Economy – Society” that will take place on Wednesday and Thursday, April 21 & 22, 2021, in digital form, under the Auspices of Attica Region, the City of Athens and the Municipality of Piraeus, with the support of the Consulate General of Greece in New York.
With the covid reality as a preamble and having left behind an admittedly challenging year for the global community and the economy, we are ready to face the new landscape with a renewed sense of optimism and certainty. This new perspective is created by the accelerated digital transformation and the transition to the digital economy, and is predicated on the assessment that these conditions will strengthen the global economic activity and allow for a return to growth.
FORUM OVERVIEW
The two-day “11th Annual Capital Link Sustainability Forum” this year is entitled: “Tackling Social & Economic Transformation/ Sustainable Growth: Environment – Economy – Society”.
The new decade highlights the challenge we are all faced with: the contribution of each sector to the healthy growth of the Greek economy, while acting exemplary in terms of social and environmental behaviour.
The use of EUR 70 billion funds that Greece will receive from the Recovery and Resilience Facility in the form of subsidies and low-interest loans, in key sectors such as renewable energy, tourism, transport and the agri-food sector, is a decisive step towards the consolidated transition of the economic system towards sustainable growth model, with the banking sector playing a key role in effectively tackling climate change and adopting a new growth model.

CAPITAL LINK SUSTAINABILITY FORUM – HISTORY
Capital Link Sustainability Forum taking place for the 11th consecutive year, its main focus being Sustainability - Corporate Social Responsibility, has managed to explore successfully the transition from Corporate Social Responsibility to Sustainability in Greece. The Forum has showcased the active turnaround and concentration on Sustainability shown by Greek enterprises: their alternative operational methods at all stages of production that reduce their environmental footprint, the transparency in corporate governance and the humanitarian sensitivity orientation, especially during the current period of economic distress that impose a further burden on companies and the welfare of Greek families.
