ESG Intelligence is an initiative developed under the Sustainable Future pillar, with the aim of strengthening understanding of ESG and Sustainability issues through the perspective of young people.
Drawing on anonymous surveys and research data, it captures the needs, expectations, and perceptions of young people in Greece regarding the role of universities, businesses, and institutions in advancing these issues.
Through the collection, analysis, and presentation of findings, ESG Intelligence contributes to shaping a two-way dialogue between young people and a broad range of stakeholders who influence awareness, education, and discussion around ESG and Sustainability.
In this context, Get Involved conducts periodic surveys, ensuring a deeper understanding of the characteristics, preferences, and expectations of the younger generation in Greece.
The first two surveys, titled Sustainable Literacy and Perspectives, were conducted in 2020 and 2021. In 2024, the initiative evolved through the research pillar ESG & Sustainability Youth Perspectives, which places particular emphasis on young people’s views and expectations of universities, businesses, and institutions in relation to ESG and Sustainability.

My name is Maria Anastasopoulou and I am an undergraduate student at the Law School of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. My participation in Get Involved started in 2023, whereas now I am an Associate and a member of the Legal Team, where I help handle the group’s legal issues, prepare legal educational materials and represent the group in the ECB Simulation Conference. Additionally, I participate in the stream for Student and Youth Organizations, where I develop my communication skills by interacting with external partners and other youth initiatives. I am also a member of the Scientific Team and contribute to the structuring of the group’s studies, such as the “ESG & Sustainability Youth Perspectives”, while simultaneously developing my research and writing skills.
The drive behind my involvement with the team is the exceptional academic and research level of my colleagues and the passion for the field. The shared values of mutual respect, the desire for progress and innovation, and continuous new’ goal setting, motivate me to contribute and join in a common evolutionary path.
I am particularly grateful for my participation in Get Involved, as it provides me the opportunity to significantly broaden my economic and legal knowledge, delve further into areas of interest and collaborate with some of the most active and accomplished young people, from whom I learn daily.
