India ESG Leadership Summit

Summary

 

Investors worldwide are sharpening their focus on sustainability, climate change and governance. The burgeoning bouquet of ESG-focused funds worldwide is a testimony to this. It is only a matter of time before ESG considerations become the threshold for investing.

 

Indian companies are also looking to raise their sustainability quotient, especially after the Covid-19 pandemic and a raft of climate-related and governance incidents. They are seeking independent assessments and ESG performance benchmarks.

 

In this context, CRISIL Research is hosting the first edition of India ESG Leadership Summit.

 

The event will see:

 

  • Industry leaders offering perspectives on ESG policy evolution, best practices, challenges and limitations, evolving business models and opportunities
  • Launch of CRISIL ESG Scores - an assessment of Indian companies based on a proprietary ESG framework.

We look forward to the privilege of hosting you at this virtual event.
