Bonn, October 2025. This November, the who is who of the European corporate sustainability scene convenes for the ESG Summit 2025 to discuss the main drivers, challenges and opportunities in ESG and sustainability once again. As part of the European Sustainability Week, the third edition of the summit takes place at the historic Steigenberger Icon Grandhotel & Spa Petersberg near Bonn on November 26, 2025. The agenda includes a high-level conference with prominent speakers such as Dr. Robert Habeck, Ralph Thurm and Prof. Dr. Anabel Ternès von Hattburg, an exhibition floor and various award ceremonies to highlight excellence in sustainability. Topics discussed will also come from the sectors renewable energy, corporate health and more.
A dynamic political landscape, subsequent regulatory uncertainty and various emerging trends in the ESG and sustainability sector paint a diverse and difficult to navigate picture for companies. Who needs to follow which regulations, and when? What are the best actions to take in implementing them? How can companies drive sustainability in all its aspects—environmental, social and governance—forward? These questions and more are at the center of the ESG Summit 2025.
After the success of the ESG Summit 2024, which welcomed hundreds of delegates from across Europe, the EUPD Group is bringing the Summit back to the historic Steigenberger Icon Grandhotel & Spa Petersberg on November 26, 2025. This year’s motto is “Built on Trust. Driven by Insight. Focused on Impact.”
The event is centered around a high-class conference spearheaded by leading experts from different areas of the European corporate sustainability sector. Several speakers have already been confirmed—such as Dr. Robert Habeck, German Vice-Chancellor and Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection
The conference is set to cover a variety of the topics currently moving the industry: from sustainable financing, health and diversity, smart and intelligent data management, the importance of clean energy in the commercial and industrial segment, over to navigating and transparently communicating ESG reporting.
In addition to the conference, the ESG Summit provides a platform for solution providers with an exhibition area, as well as a stage for leaders in various areas of sustainability to be honored for their proven commitment in award ceremonies of the ESG Transparency Award and other award ceremonies from the renewable energy and social sustainability sector. Further, meetings of expert advisory boards and committees will take place, focusing on extensive exchange at the highest level.
The event is supported by companies such as Arvato Systems, BG prevent, DNV, Eva Service GmbH, OCELL GmbH, SolaX Power, Solinteg, Solplanet, Unternehmen Bewegung, F&F energyinnovation, Grubengold, GoodWe, Pylontech, and media partners Haufe Sustainability and zielNULL.
Markus A.W. Hoehner, CEO and Founder of the EUPD Group, is looking forward to the event: “The corporate sector plays a crucial role in driving the sustainable transformation of our society – by creating knowledge, shaping progress, ensuring accountability, and fostering dialogue. ESG is no longer a peripheral topic, but a strategic framework for future-proof corporate governance. The ESG Summit brings together Europe’s leading voices to provide guidance, set standards, and shape the future of responsible business.”
