ESG Workshop & Masterclass:
18 Oct 2024 | Ruby Hall, Kohinoor Continental, Mumbai
ESG reporting is the disclosure of the impact of a business on environmental, social, and corporate governance and a collection of factors that can materially affect a business. Compared with leading economies and keeping in line with global trends, India fares highly in ESG disclosures and is one of the countries where reporting is mandatory instead of voluntary. The Industry Dialogue on ESG aims to foster meaningful discussions around ESG reporting challenges and explore strategies for a sustainable future. The workshop will mainly focus on ‘E’ and ‘S’ of ESG reporting, particularly Principles 2 and 6 of the BRSR framework on improving resource efficiency and climate change mitigation to ensure long-term sustainability.
