Panel Discussion – ESG: Paving the way for the future of business in India
Key Discussion Points
- ESG has been described as India’s ‘new mantra’, impacting all aspects of business; from credit ratings to employee recruitment.
- ESG scores are fast becoming a key business metric for regulators, investors, consumers, and employees when making decisions.
- What do these principles mean in a country as distinct as India; how do (or should) the principles of governance, community, and environmental considerations be applied?
- Does a ‘one size fits all’ approach work in India, or is there a case for an ‘Indian ESG’, which considers the realities and priorities of the country?
- What are the key ESG challenges faced by Indian companies, and what needs to be done to address these?
- What are the global learnings that can help Indian companies achieve their ESG goals?
