The biggest environmental disaster is
poverty and unless we eradicate poverty,
we can’t have a level playing field and we
cannot have a definite way of sustainable
living.

Development agenda of a country should
drive climate change agenda. India has
taken many initiatives and the keenness
shows India's willingness towards

Governments have to play a role in
market preparation for the electric
vehicles. Government can provide
monetary incentives, however, nonmonetary incentives are also very
important and the framework conditions
to support the environment for Electric
Vehicles.
Role of sustainability is not just winning
communities over with CSR but also
ensuring they have empowerment and
confidence to engage on their own terms
on how the community develops both
with industry and independently.

The world is becoming more and more
unpredictable with each passing year and
hence the solutions need to be dynamic.
This indicates that business needs to be
more dynamic and flexible with solutions.
This calls for business leadership to come
together. The world should move towards
increased transparency, management
and accountability.
Peter Bakker
President, World Business Council for
Sustainable Development
SDGs is an equal dialogue in the world with differentiated responsibilities for what happened in the past. They aim at
elimination of poverty around us, reduction of inequalities and sustainability of the planet. Without India, global
efforts to meet Sustainable Development Goals would be an impossible proposition.

problems and they can be categorized in
three sections: food, energy and water.
Solutions for the problems can be
reached with two things: adaptation and
technology.

Half of the SDGs can clearly be referred as
a destination goal for humanity. Means of
implementation/partnership is going to
be driving the whole system. We need to

The crops chosen to grow in Punjab, i.e. rice and wheat are guzzlers of water. Ground water sources have been
drained to the extent that almost 47% of the wells have gone beyond 10 metres deep in last 20 years. It is feared that
in future we will not have enough water to sustain crops like sugarcane and rice.

The year 2016 brings with it a new vision focussing on
the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the
Paris climate deal. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon

Our world is entering an age of unprecedented risks and opportunities. There is immense pressure on our
natural resources, carbon emissions are alarmingly high, and inequalities are increasing. The environment is
suffering as are the people. In light of this, sustainability has become a major concern for businesses. It
pressurizes them to adapt accordingly so that their practices meet the need of the changing environment.
That's where we come in. We nurture our clients to compete, expand opportunity and excel in today's dynamic
business environments. The Centre works to create and sustain an environment conducive to the growth of
business, partnering business and government alike through training, advisory and consultative services.
These services comprise capacity building and training programmes and workshops related to environment
policies, management systems, management frameworks, performance assessment, sustainability reporting,
stakeholder engagement, sustainability assurance, climate change, sustainable business portfolios and
business model innovation to name a few.
Today, India faces multiple challenges. The major challenges are economic, social and environmental in nature.
In the last two decades, India has seen tremendous growth. However, the beneficiaries of this growth are but a
small section of the country's population. There is an ever-widening gap between the haves and the have nots.
The majority of the population remains at the periphery of development, while the rest lean towards the other
extreme, that of immense wealth. There are disparities amongst regions, states, sectors and communities. This
exclusion from the benefits of economic growth development has rendered people steeped in poverty with
very low standards of living.
The environmental challenges that the world and India, especially as a developing economy, faces are
depleting natural resources, environmental degradation, sky rocketing GHG emissions and consequently,
climate change. The combination of these economic, social and environmental challenges could prove to be
detrimental to the future growth of India as a country and as a sustainable economy. The Centre works to
mitigate these problems and engender a transformation in the way business is conducted.
In order to do so and achieve sustainable, equitable and inclusive growth, the Centre seeks to bring
transformation through a complete programme of policy advocacy, knowledge creation, knowledge
dissemination and 'on-ground'model projects. The Centre works with businesses and the government to
bring about this transformation and address the various issues of sustainability, environmental degradation,
climate change, inclusion etc. The training and consulting services we provide facilitate companies in their
sustainability efforts.
