ESG and Sustainability

In recent years, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles have emerged as critical factors influencing corporate strategy and performance. As businesses globally face increasing pressure to demonstrate environmental and social sustainability as well as ethical governance practices, ESG has become a focal point of organisational strategic management. This is particularly relevant in the context of Indian corporations, where rapid economic growth and regulatory push for ESG reporting has been accompanied by growing concerns over environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and corporate governance.
