🌿 How can businesses combine positive impact with financial success? Where should organisations begin when implementing ESG – and how can they do it wisely? The panel discussion “ESG Means Business”, featuring Irena Pichola, Przemysław Kuna, and Paweł Potakowski, opened the track on the first day of Masters & Robots 2025.

“ESG is not just about directives, regulations, and legal acts that companies must instantly comply with. What truly matters is thorough analysis of the business and honest conversations – with clients, employees, and suppliers – about their needs and challenges,” said Przemysław Kuna.

🧠 “If you have a brain, you have bias,” said Dr. Poornima Luthra on stage during Masters & Robots 2025.

Her inspiring keynote on diversity, equity and inclusion ( ) was one of the highlights of the first day and the ESG track. “Fortunately, most of our biases are unconscious – they are mental shortcuts, stereotypes that prevent our brains from overheating from too much information,” explained Dr. Poornima.

What can you consciously do about these biases – and what changes can you bring to your organisation to truly act in line with DEI principles? Watch Dr. Poornima Luthra’s full talk, still available online.
