Atlantic Grupa named ESG Champion again!

The American Chamber of Commerce in Croatia (AmCham) presented the award at the fourth edition of the conference “Sustainable Business with ESG Principles”, held on November 12 in Zagreb. The award was accepted on behalf of Atlantic by Zoran Stanković, Group Vice President for Finance, Procurement, and Investments.

Together with consulting firm Kearney, an ESG survey was conducted, providing valuable insights into how Croatian companies approach the implementation of ESG principles, the challenges they face, and the best practices already in place. The results show significant progress in applying ESG principles compared to the previous year.

Ivana Bračun, Director of Investor Relations and ESG Reporting, addressed the audience and highlighted the importance of measurable goals, a clear strategy, and the involvement of all management levels in ESG processes:
“At Atlantic Grupa, we believe that the foundation of success in sustainability lies in setting a strategy with KPIs that are measurable, ambitious enough to drive change, yet realistically achievable. Such a strategy must be supported by an organizational structure – from establishing dedicated departments to strong executive backing. That’s why ESG goals at our company are not reserved only for top management – the executive team was the first to integrate them into their objectives, and their achievement serves as the basis for our reward system.”

The conference focused on the new European Union regulatory framework for corporate sustainability, known as the Omnibus Package, and the implementation of key directives such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), and the EU Taxonomy Regulation for sustainable finance.
