This was discussed in the framework of the next webinar of the program “Leaders of territorial Development”, organized by the Association of Clusters, Technoparks and SEZ of Russia.
Timofey Buneev, the speaker of the webinar, head of the International Cooperation and Sustainable Development Department of the AKIT of the Russian Federation, noted the Alga special economic zone as an example of the effective implementation of ESG principles in the activities of a management company whose functions are performed by the Regional Development Corporation.
He stressed that the practices had a positive impact on a number of aspects: the ESG principles helped attract 13 new residents to the Alga SEZ, improve the performance and position of the SEZ in ratings, and increase media mentions.
Recall that in October of this year, the AKIT of the Russian Federation announced the results of the II ESG rating of the SEZ of Russia, according to which the special economic zone “Alga” took seventh place in it.
