Environmental, social and governance (ESG) in India has slow-brewed from sporadic boardroom discussions to policy-level changes and, increasingly, on-ground implementation.
Some investors and companies are taking the lead in driving the transformation by being early adopters. Importantly, the growing attention of regulators is persuading the adoption of ESG.
Today, this sustainability wave is breaking at varying speeds because it is a function of how individual companies - across sectors and sizes - are perceiving the waters.
So, can ESG in India move decisively beyond template compliance and altruistic suasion to something driven by tangible value from a risk/impact/opportunity perspective? Or will it become another fad?
How can financial institutions - which rub shoulders with investees and borrowers alike - shape the future of ESG?
For answers, and to give a platform to this debate, CRISIL is hosting the second edition of the India ESG Leadership Summit on May 19, 2022. The event theme is 'The journey from emergence to business relevance'.
The summit will have two panel discussions (see programme highlights below).
CRISIL will also launch its second Sustainability Yearbook at the summit, which will have assessments of 550+ Indian companies based on our proprietary ESG framework.
We look forward to the privilege of hosting you at this virtual event.
