The event was attended by ETERNA LAW’s Associate Мarharyta Tatarova and Senior Associate Anton Khodosh.
Мarharyta Tatarova moderated a discussion on the implementation of ESG principles and corporate responsibility. The main
- areas of discussion were:
ESG as a factor in accessing finance, new markets and international partnerships:
the significance of ESG for engagement with investors, banks and partners, as well as their key expectations of companies.
- Practical integration of ESG into a company’s business model:
how to move from a declarative approach to the actual implementation of ESG, which internal decisions demonstrate genuine integration, and how responsibility for ESG should be organised at the level of management and the company’s key functions.
- ESG risks in the supply chain and interactions with counterparties:
why assessing a company’s ESG profile requires consideration of the supply chain, and which ESG risk management mechanisms are most effective in practice.
- The transformation of ESG priorities in the context of war:
how the concept of responsible business has changed and which aspects of ESG are currently most significant for partners, employees and society.
The key takeaway from the panel discussion was the importance of a tailored approach to ESG: companies should first assess whether ESG is truly relevant to their operations and business model, and if so, approach its implementation as a systematic development of internal processes, accountability and risk management.
Anton Khodosh moderated the panel discussion “Artificial Intelligence as a Compliance Tool”
The panel focused on the practical application of artificial intelligence in compliance systems and the associated risks. Participants discussed, in particular:
- Automation of due diligence:
the use of algorithms for screening counterparties and automatically identifying collaboration risks;
due diligence tools available on the market.
- Risks and ethical issues in the field of AI:
risks associated with the use of AI systems in the context of data leaks, intellectual property rights infringements, unlawful processing of personal data, etc.;
tools for testing AI systems prior to their practical implementation, in particular those offered by the state.
- Risk management:
possible ways to minimise the risks of using AI;
the need for human oversight and detailed reporting.
Key takeaway from the panel discussion: when used correctly, AI is not a source of problems, but a tool that saves resources, improves the quality of audits, and makes compliance more effective.
Participation in the National Compliance Forum 2026 reflects ETERNA LAW’s commitment to professional discussion of current issues relating to compliance, ESG and technological solutions.
