Sustainability for Indian Businesses Cohort 3 commences!

With climate-related risks & associated multi-level esource pressures posing a real threat to industry worldwide, bringing sustainability into planning & execution is an opportunity for growth for industries. Be it value-driven, compliance-driven or mandate-driven, there is a growing realization within India's corporate sector that value can be created & reinvested through facilitating sustainable pathways. However, the notion of a trade-off between sustainability & profitability continues, necessitating both “top-down” & "bottom-up" reforms in all the four pillars of sustainability - Mitigation, Adaptation, Recovery, & Innovation. The 6-week Executive Education program "Sustainability for Indian Businesses" is designed to help industry professionals practically align Sustainable Development Goals with core business strategies. By bridging knowledge & application gaps, individuals & industries will unlock new avenues for growth & contribute towards India’s nationally determined contributions & its green, climate-resilient future. Enroll before May 26, 2025!
