Antal’s ESG strategy for 2022-2025

In 2022, Antal’s Board of Directors approved Antal’s ESG Policy for 2022-2025. It is a strategic document that defines the important areas of our influence, the goals indicating the directions of our activities and the metrics.

As part of the strategy, we have identified areas where we can have a real impact and use our strengths and experience to create solutions and build programs that support innovation, economic growth, human resources development, gender equality and diversity, fighting exclusion, and activities that promote environmental solutions, and more. Effective ESG integration is key to both managing risk and identifying new business opportunities.

Antal’s ESG strategy for 2021-2025 is based on three pillars: People, Planet, Prosperity and is an integral complement to our business strategy while contributing to the UN’s global Sustainable Development Goals.
