During this insightful discussion, the speakers shared their learnings, thoughts and experiences around the following points:
How do we see Indian businesses adopting ESG reporting and linking actions and commitments with the reporting?
How does 'Net Zero by 2070' transpire actions and bold decisions in the board-rooms?
In what ways does India's mandatory CSR feed into larger ESG actions and reporting?
It takes substantial time for companies to improve and work on ESG with a value chain based approach. How can businesses take a few key steps and then build on that?
What is the role that other key stakeholders, influencers and consumers can play to change the agenda of the board-rooms and to push for the 'Net Zero'?
