Alexandra Dinita argues that ESG is not just a trend but a moral and business imperative. By embracing ESG, organizations can build trust, transparency, and peace of mind.

In today's world, plagued by crises and moral dilemmas, Alexandra higher moral standards and values are essential. ESG provides a global conversation that can address these issues and create a better future for businesses and society as a whole. It is time for businesses to embrace ESG and pave the way for a better tomorrow.

While ESG may currently be seen as a burden in countries like Romania, Alexandra emphasizes the need to view it as a moment of clarity and a wake-up call for companies. Organizations must understand that they have a role and a mission as economic and social actors, and they can no longer hide from their responsibilities.

The process of embracing ESG involves deep systemic changes, from due diligence to changing business processes and models, setting clear targets, and constant communication. Alexandra urges companies to start this transformation immediately, as it is a time-intensive process that requires careful planning and execution.

The road to ESG compliance may be challenging, but Alexandra insists it is the only way forward for achieving long-term values of transparency, truth, and building a lasting reputation.

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant.
