ESG Summit Europe is an annual conference focused on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues, held in Madrid, Spain. Founded in 2022 by Mónica Rico, with later involvement from Félix Arroyo, the summit convenes professionals from diverse sectors, including corporate executives, investors, regulators, and sustainability experts, to discuss the increasing significance of sustainable business practices.

The conference addresses a variety of topics related to ESG, such as regulatory developments, sustainable finance, climate change, social responsibility, corporate governance, ESG reporting, innovation in sustainable technologies, the circular economy, and corporate reputation. Participants typically include representatives from multinational corporations, financial institutions, regulatory agencies, and non-governmental organizations, who engage in discussions on sustainability.

The primary objective of ESG Summit Europe is to promote dialogue and collaboration on sustainable practices both within Europe and globally. A notable initiative of the summit, the "ESG Summit Forest," is a collaboration with Treedom that involves planting trees worldwide to offset carbon emissions and support local communities, reflecting the summit's emphasis on practical solutions for climate change and community engagement.
