A total of 28 companies have completed the first edition of the COMPETITIV program, launched by Raiffeisen Bank Romania in partnership with PIVOT-C to help Romanian businesses integrate sustainability into their operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Running over a six-month period, the program brought together 65 companies with combined revenues of \u20ac9 billion, mainly operating in sectors such as retail, utilities, and manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe results of the first COMPETITIV edition show that sustainability has moved beyond isolated actions and is emerging as a clear development direction for companies. This confirms that sustainability is taking a more important place on the economic agenda of Romanian businesses, with a direct impact on competitiveness and investment decisions,\u201d said Sorin Suciu, Executive Director for Regional Corporates and Public Sector at Raiffeisen Bank Romania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following the assessment and planning phases, sustainability diagnostics were carried out for 52 companies, while 28 companies developed concrete action plans through the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The initiatives mainly focus on operational efficiency, resource use, and process digitalization, aligned with the pillars of the new economic model: environment, circular economy, and digitalization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Based on these results, the COMPETITIV program will continue with a new edition scheduled for September 15, 2026, to February 4, 2027. Participation is subject to selection, and applications are open until July 31, 2026, at competitiv.eu\/particip\/.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The program is conducted within the New Economy Hub, an independent initiative created to support companies in decision-making during a changing economic environment and to turn existing initiatives into coherent business strategies with measurable impact.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
