Omnibus and ESG: Simplification of rules Opens new opportunities for sustainable business.

The European Commission has presented the so-called Omnibus – a legislative package that is intended to simplify the rules for ESG reporting. While some see it as a weakening of ESG regulation, others believe it can bring improvement and a sensible correction of overly extensive obligations. So what is it really like? Does ESG still make sense after the Omnibus? The answer is clear: yes, and p ...

Three Decades of Innovation at Dôvera

Dôvera has been part of the Slovak healthcare system for 30 years. How has the system changed during that time? Would you agree with those who claim it hasn’t moved forward at all?

Over the years, Dôvera has contribu ...

BRANDING A REGION ≠ BRANDING A PRODUCTAt first glance, regional branding may resemble product branding. In reality, the two are fundamentally different.
