10th ESG and Sustainability Strategy India Summit 2025

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations are increasingly gaining prominence in India as businesses recognize the integral role they play in sustainable development. In the dynamic landscape of ESG and sustainability, Indian companies are strategically aligning their operations with ethical and responsible practices. Emphasizing environmental responsibility, businesses are adopting sustainable measures, including renewable energy initiatives, waste reduction, and efficient resource management. Socially, companies are focusing on inclusive policies, diversity, and community engagement to foster positive societal impact.
India's ESG and sustainability landscape is evolving rapidly, as the country strives to meet its national and international commitments, such as achieving net zero emissions by 2070, however there are still gaps and challenges in terms of data availability, reporting standards, regulatory framework, and investor awareness that need to be addressed to further advance the ESG agenda in India.
The 8th ESG and Sustainability Strategy India Summit 2025 is one of the country's premier dedicated conference, that provides a common platform for the industry and other stakeholders to come together to discuss the key challenges, learn from the best practices adopted across India with focus on compliance, regulatory guidelines and the latest innovations in sustainability.
