India stands at a pivotal juncture in its journey towards sustainable growth, where environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles are becoming integral to business frameworks. SEBI’s commitment to fostering sustainability through Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR) has played a significant role in making this possible.
As is evident from BRSR disclosures made by companies, they are increasingly incorporating ESG into their mission and values, endeavouring to fully integrate it into their strategy and operations. This aligns disclosures of companies with global ESG benchmarks and also emphasizes the role of Indian businesses in advancing the broad agenda of sustainability and ESG beyond climate change. Furthermore, the potential of BRSR disclosures to channelise responsible investments is driving meaningful change across the industry. Building on this momentum, FICCI is organising its much-anticipated 3rd edition of ESG Summit on Friday, 31stJanuary 2025 at Hotel The Lalit, Mumbai.
Mr Amarjeet Singh, Whole Time Member, SEBI has kindly agreed to deliver the Inaugural Address at the Summit.
Being organised under the aegis of FICCI Centre for Sustainability Leadership, this platform will bring together representatives from the Government, investor community, leading experts and businesses to share their perspective on the opportunities that ESG creates for expansion of existing businesses. The platform would also showcase India Inc.’s initiatives to mainstream ESG parameters for long-term value creation and mobilizing sustainable and green finance.
