Výzkumný Ústav Železniční, a.s. (VUZ) offers services in the field of ESG. Since 2022, many companies have been asked to document the sustainability and increase the transparency of their business not only by financial institutions and customers, but also when applying for subsidies or in public tenders. These and many other requirements form part of a holistic view of companies hidden under the acronym ESG (Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance). Companies will be gradually obliged to report on their sustainability from 2025. At the same time, ESG is an opportunity to achieve improvement and find new markets and customers.
