Energon Green Solutions is proud to announce that our Founder, Marios Fokas, will participate in the 2nd ESG Summit 2026 as moderator of the panel discussion “Cultivating Change: How ESG Transforms Food Sustainability.”
The Summit, organized by ICAP CRIF, will take place on April 2, 2026, at Domus Asteria in Glyfada, Athens, bringing together business leaders, policymakers, innovators, and sustainability experts to explore how Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) frameworks are shaping the future of business strategy and economic development.
Advancing the ESG Dialogue
The ESG Summit 2026, titled “Turning Environmental, Social & Governance into Strategic Value,” aims to move beyond compliance-driven sustainability and focus on ESG as a driver of long-term economic value, resilience, and responsible growth. Through expert discussions and sector-focused panels, the event will explore the evolving European regulatory landscape, investor expectations, and practical approaches companies can adopt to integrate ESG principles into their operations.
For businesses across Europe and globally, ESG is no longer an optional framework. It has become a strategic pillar influencing capital allocation, corporate governance, environmental stewardship, and social responsibility.
“Cultivating Change”: ESG and the Future of Food Systems
One of the Summit’s central discussions will focus on food sustainability, a topic increasingly critical as climate change, supply chain pressures, and global population growth reshape agricultural systems worldwide.
The panel will feature distinguished speakers:
• Eirini (Rineta) Mitsi, Corporate Affairs & Sustainability Director, Goody’s – Everest Group
• Konstadia Stavrakopoulou, Quality Assurance Manager, ASTERIA Glyfada
Moderated by Marios Fokas, the panel titled “Cultivating Change: How ESG Transforms Food Sustainability” will examine how ESG principles are transforming the food sector across multiple dimensions:
- Sustainable agricultural practices that reduce environmental impact
- Transparent and traceable supply chains that strengthen consumer trust
- Climate-smart production models that enhance resilience in farming systems
- Responsible corporate governance in agri-food businesses
- Technological innovation supporting sustainable food production
The discussion will highlight how integrating ESG frameworks into food systems can create more resilient agricultural economies, improve environmental outcomes, and strengthen global food security.

The Role of ESG in a Transforming Economy
As regulatory frameworks evolve and investors increasingly prioritize sustainability metrics, companies are facing a new strategic reality: ESG integration is becoming essential for competitiveness and long-term value creation.
The Summit will explore several key themes shaping this transformation:
- The EU’s rapidly evolving ESG regulatory environment
- Investor expectations regarding sustainability performance
- Sector pathways toward clean energy, biodiversity protection, and sustainable resource management
- The growing role of technology and AI in ESG monitoring and reporting
- The importance of strong governance and corporate transparency
