The era of global transition—characterized by climate change, economic uncertainty, technological disruption, and geopolitical shifts—requires a new approach to sustainable development. Sustainability is no longer seen only as an environmental issue, but as a strategic integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, innovation, and tangible impact on society and the global economy. As a result, redefining sustainability is a key goal for academia, practitioners, and policymakers aiming to promote inclusive, responsible, and resilient growth.
ESG has become a global standard in decision-making across public and private sectors. Beyond compliance, ESG serves as a strategic framework to create long-term value, strengthen stakeholder trust, and enhance institutional competitiveness. However, its implementation still faces challenges such as regulatory gaps, unequal institutional capacity, and the need for innovative solutions that balance economic, social, and environmental priorities.
Innovation is essential in addressing these challenges. Advances in technology, sustainable business models, and interdisciplinary research create opportunities for meaningful solutions. Academic institutions play a critical role in driving sustainable innovation through knowledge creation, evidence-based research, and cross-sector collaboration. They are also responsible for developing professionals who are not only skilled but also ethically committed to global sustainability.
Impact must be the key measure of successful ESG integration and innovation. True sustainability should generate measurable positive change for organizations, communities, and the environment. Therefore, an international scientific forum is needed to exchange ideas, share best practices, and promote ideas and policies in addressing global sustainability challenges.
The International Conference KRA XIII 2026, “Redefining Sustainability: Integrating ESG, Innovation, and Impact in the Era of Global Transition, Wani Rek!!!,” provides academics, researchers, professionals, and policymakers from around the world with an opportunity to share research and strategic insights. This conference promotes dialogue and global cooperation to advance sustainable development.

The conference aims to bridge academia and practice, generating actionable recommendations for science, public policy, and support sustainable business. With the spirit of “Wani Rek!!!,” we invite all stakeholders to innovate boldly, collaborate actively, and contribute to a more inclusive and impactful sustainable future.
