Romania will have a sustainability code by the end of the year, according to Laszlo Borbely, State Counselor, Head of the Department for Sustainable Development of the Government.

“We need to have an action plan with sustainable investments. There must be a closer partnership between the administration and private companies,” he said during the online conference SUSTAINABILITY IN BUSINESS – Practice what you Preach.

“The current context of this year showed that we have to move fast and act fast in designing the new world and in finding the new resources for a sustainable economy. Romania has a significant contribution in creating the new principles and new vision at the level of European Union. We closely collaborate with the Ministry of Economy, Energy and Business Environment and we plan to create a development hub at Ramnicu Valcea –  in building there a company to operate in the area of hydrogen production and distribution. Also, we need to pay a high attention to the public policies of the European Green Deal – this will govern the long-term vision and actions on a long term, not only the next decade, but beyond.”
