Конференция «Лучшие социальные проекты России» определит тренды устойчивого развития

The annual conference "Best Social Projects of Russia" will be held in Moscow on September 29. For 12 years, it has been the main discussion platform in the field of corporate social responsibility (CSR), charity and sustainable development.

The event will traditionally bring together top managers of the largest companies, representatives of government agencies and leaders of the non-profit sector to exchange successful practices and find new ways to solve the problems facing society.

The focus of the conference's business program is on pressing contemporary issues. Experts will discuss how to integrate ESG (environmental, social and corporate governance) principles into business strategies, how digital innovations are transforming the social sphere, and what mechanisms of partnership between business, government and society are most effective.

Their cases and expertise will be shared by:

• X5 Charity Fund "Vyruchayem" (social programs in the regions of the retailer's presence);
• S7 Airlines (environmental initiatives in the travel industry);
• SPLAT Global (sustainable production and corporate volunteering);
• "OPORA ROSSII" (a look at social entrepreneurship);
• VTB Bank (large corporate CSR programs);
• JTI Russia (international practices in the field of sustainable development).

A special block of discussions will be devoted to the role of technology in improving the quality of life. Participants will consider how innovations help create an inclusive urban environment, make health and education services more accessible, and reduce the burden on the environment.

Key topics for discussion:

• "Get Your Planet in Order": from one-off actions to systematic environmental care.
• "Investments in Society": how to measure the social impact of CSR projects.
• "Ecology and Business": successful cases of reducing the carbon footprint and implementing a circular economy.
• "Innovation and Charity": crowdfunding, digital platforms and AI in the service of the social sphere.
• "Ecosystem of Interaction": how to establish a productive dialogue between business, government and NGOs.

An important event of the day will be the awards ceremony for the laureates of the program of the same name. The "Best Social Projects of Russia" award recognizes companies and organizations that have achieved the most significant results in the implementation of social and charitable programs, as well as in the field of social entrepreneurship.

The organizers emphasize that the conference is conceived not as an ordinary industry event, but as a catalyst for positive change.
