With the remarkable surge in market and policy support for Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations, it has now become a focal point in boardroom discussions. India has committed to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030 and attaining Net Zero status by 2070. Regulatory bodies like SEBI in India have established a comprehensive framework mandating ESG disclosures for listed entities, extending to supply chain participants of these companies.
Amidst the unprecedented global attention from policymakers, we view the present as an opportune moment to strategically pivot towards sustainability. This shift will particularly emphasize addressing Scope 3 Emissions, aligning with the evolving landscape and heightened global emphasis on ESG principles.
We aim to deliver a proactive and forward-thinking approach, encouraging attendees to embrace change and innovation in a rapidly evolving landscape. Gain valuable insights, practical tips, and actionable takeaways to build green and sustainable operations that fast-forward your business.
