Together, we will work to advance sustainable finance and ESG practices in Bulgaria. For the second consecutive year, the Institute's team has been supporting the preparation of the National ESG Report, developed by the Green Centre.

During the signing ceremony, Assoc. Prof. Dr Manyu Moravenov, executive director of the Bulgarian Stock Exchange, emphasised that the sustainable development of the capital market requires close cooperation between businesses, academia, and public institutions.
