Environmental and Social Responsibility Association - ESRA is a nonprofit organization based in Kosovo, founded in 2024 by professionals with extensive international and regional experience in EU integration, ESG standards, youth empowerment, and sustainable development.
We work at the intersection of the private sector, civil society, and public institutions to promote Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles across the Western Balkans. Our core mission is to help micro and small enterprises align with the EU Green Agenda and sustainability goals through training, policy support, and access to cross-border partnerships.
ESRA’s team brings a unique blend of expertise in HR, international program management, financial modeling, ESG advisory, and communication strategy. Our members have worked with the EU, World Bank/IFC, WBF, municipalities, and ministries to support green transition, circular economy integration, and VET-business cooperation.
We have contributed to regional policy papers (e.g. with People in Need and University of Prishtina), conducted feasibility studies for energy efficiency in public buildings, and partnered with the Chamber of Trade and Industry Kosovo to deliver ESG awareness tools for businesses.
Our network is open to collaboration with institutions and peers working on green economy, social equity, and responsible governance. We welcome contact from those seeking to engage in cross-sector, cross-border, and capacity-building initiatives.
