Vision of Arison ESG Center

 

Israel's first academic-practical center in the ESG field

Make the business case for ESG



Our mission is to lead the academic and practical discourse in Israel on the integration of environmental, climate, social, and corporate governance (ESG) considerations into the core strategies and operations of businesses. By doing so, we aim to enhance long-term shareholder value as well as the broader impact of ESG integration on the economy, environment, and society.

 

We believe that incorporating ESG principles reflects responsible, ethical, and visionary business leadership. Embedding these considerations into long-term corporate strategies not only contributes to sustainable development but also enhances financial performance, mitigates risks, strengthens brand reputation, and attracts investors, talent, and consumers. Moreover, it serves as a lever for growth and confers a significant, sustainable competitive advantage by generating profits from solving social problems rather than creating them.

 

How We Achieve This:

 

Research & Dissemination: Advancing and disseminating cutting-edge research and actionable insights to shareholders, executives, regulators, researchers, and students, while shaping a robust academic agenda grounded in ESG principles.

Education & Dialogue: Organizing academic conferences, designing university-level programs, and offering executive education courses that foster dialogue among leading corporations, policymakers, and regulatory authorities.

Strategic Partnerships: Building strategic partnerships with Israeli and international institutions and playing an active role in shaping the ESG landscape both nationally and globally.
