Background
Corporates have a major role to play in any economy, their contribution is intrinsically
related to the success or failure of any commitments of India at the International level.
Such commitments have also led to developing new frameworks, including the one on
ESG. Presently, the ‘E’ In The ESG is gaining a lot of momentum, especially since a
higher level of recognition of stakeholder involvement in the corporate sustainability
debate.
ESG is not merely a representation of data to be provided in a template as prescribed;
rather, It refers to the Impact-Oriented Initiatives and Interventions by Corporates to
bring about positive change. Environmental Disclosures are no less important than
financial data, which portrays past performance. Since they have a long-term impact
and are gaining prominence for investment decision-making and corporate
governance benchmarking.
The spirit of ESG is not compliance but the contribution to the overall sustainability
of the Environment, which in turn ensures business continuity. The Workshop aims to
create a consensus on various environmental factors of reporting under ESG norms,
review Indian practices and norms towards fulfilling global standards, promote policy
changes, and facilitate thought leadership.
