ESG is now an integral framework in the evolving landscape, and it’s all happening in real time. At KPMG in India, ESG is the watermark of responsible business.
KPMG in India is proud to present the second edition of the "ESG Conclave and Awards," designed to unite key stakeholders in discussions on the heightened awareness of challenges and the interconnected ESG aspects influencing various business dimensions.
The theme for our ESG Conclave and Awards, this year, embodies a strategic approach to navigating challenges and changes.
The event is aimed to be a pivotal gathering of thought leaders and industry dignitaries, fostering a collective commitment to continuous improvement in the pursuit of sustainable business practices.
The urgency to tackle climate change has never been greater. In line with India’s ambitious “ViksitBharat” programme (or Developed India), The Indian Government has set out a roadmap for inclusive growth with sustainability. For any economy, the transition towards a green future needs a deeper management of policy, people and underlying technologies. The economy, society, business and environment don’t exist in isolation -they are part of a system that interacts and influences one another.
The ESG Conclave 2024 focuses on these key areas critical for India and Indian companies. The conclave brings together government, industry stalwarts and eminent thought leaders to define the trajectory that Indian industry needs to take.
The event on 28 August 2024 covered:
- The launch of the Sustainability Academy
- Panel discussions on accelerating green and inclusive growth, and the role of the stakeholder ecosystem in driving strategic change
- Awards based on the ESG performance of India’s leading company’s across 14 segments
- Followed by networking sessions.
