ESG Leadership Summit 2024

In today’s dynamic global business landscape, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations have emerged as pivotal factors influencing corporate strategies and business outcomes. In India, corporates are increasingly recognizing the benefits of integrating ESG principles for business decisioning. Beyond being viewed as a mere checkbox for responsible business practices, ESG has evolved into a strategic imperative that directly aligns with the corporate goals of sustainable growth, improved operational efficiencies, and regulatory compliances.

As Indian corporates navigate the complex interplay of business expansion, societal expectations, and regulatory norms, the adoption of robust ESG practices emerges as a multifaceted approach to foster innovation, enhance operational resilience, and fortify long-term value creation for stakeholders.

Recognizing the significance of ESG, Dun & Bradstreet India is pleased to host its 2nd edition of ‘ESG Leadership Summit’ on the theme "From A Catchphrase to Reality" on March 13, 2024. The summit will feature keynote addresses and deliberations with ESG leaders, government institutions and ministries along with regulatory bodies. The summit will also feature the presentation of ‘ESG Awards 2024’, multiple power-packed panel discussion with thought leaders, and the release of the premium report titled 'ESG Champions of India 2024'.
