The term was introduced in a report, “Who Cares Win” published in 2004 by financial institutions at the invitation of the UN to provide the financial sector with recommendations on how to better integrate environmental, social, and governance considerations that could have a material impact on the value of an investment. In a span of 20 years, ESG grew into a global phenomenon.
The National Conference is a common platform for researchers, academicians, industry professionals and students to present and share their perspectives, research, and innovative ideas on ESG and Sustainability with respect to India’s role in the same. This is an emerging topic as the world discusses and raises concern over various perspectives of environmental, social and governance. Organizations must include social responsibility, environmental consciousness and ethical practices besides profits in their business models. India is playing a lead role in the implementation of these, striving to excel in the practice and implementation of ESG and Sustainability and is increasingly incorporating ESG into business strategy. The country has witnessed two crucial milestones regarding ESG and sustainability which are making of CSR reporting and spending mandatory since 2013 and SEBI guidelines for Business and Sustainability Reporting, a standard framework.
