At the 17th Corporate Sustainability & Responsibility Conference in Nicosia, Professor Phoebe Koundouri delivered a keynote on Profitability-Driven ESG Transformation, emphasizing that in today’s business reality, sustainability and profitability are not in conflict—they are mutually reinforcing when managed strategically.
In her speech, she presented AE4RIA - Alliance of Excellence for Research and Innovation on Aephoria’s holistic framework and its practical applications for companies aiming to align with international sustainability standards while maximizing long-term value creation.
AE4RIA Metrix offers tools and solutions that downscale the UN SDSN frameworks and quantify the ESG and SDG footprint of companies in line with CSRD. These decision-making tools assist companies in developing their pathways towards sustainability, creating true value beyond compliance. They also support the development of harmonized data collection processes across the value chain and the creation of a database that communicates with the provided tools.
