In an era characterised by deep environmental crisis, intense social upheaval at a global level, and a series of challenges even in corporate governance, the 2nd “Effective Stakeholder Dialogue – Reality Check” Conference succeeded in highlighting the importance of communication, and in finding solutions through fruitful dialogue to solve important environmental and social issues related to sustainability.

At the Conference, which was held on 4 June 2024 at the Serafion of the Municipality of Athens, more than 60 important speakers, with keynote speeches and participating in 17 panels, initiated a fruitful dialogue, highlighting the value of the participation of all stakeholders in decision-making. The Conference was attended by more than 200 participants: executives of companies, national and international NGOs, institutional bodies and Universities, as well as representatives of the Greek State and Local Government.

Seeking the truth and the appropriate use of language for consultations and the achievement of cooperation, the themes developed covered a wide range of topics related to dialogue processes in order to address critical issues.

The Conference was co-organised by Sympraxis, the Hellenic Institute of Consultation and ANIMA.
