Abstract:
Water management is a cornerstone of sustainable development, closely linked to climate change mitigation, natural resource protection, and public health. In Serbia, key challenges include water pollution, outdated infrastructure, and insufficient investment in wastewater treatment systems, underscoring the need for innovative financing solutions. Green investments, such as green bonds, dedicated funds, and public–private partnerships, provide effective mechanisms to support environmentally sustainable projects. By promoting circular economy practices, including water reuse, sludge treatment, and resource recovery, these investments enhance environmental protection, economic efficiency, and social well-being. This paper examines the current state of wastewater management in Serbia, analyses the potential of green financial instruments, and explores their role in strengthening sustainable business models. It also considers how companies can improve their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance through water-related investments. The findings underline the strategic importance of integrating green finance and circular economy approaches to drive sustainable business and water sector resilience in Serbia.
