SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCE
I N T E R N A T I O N A L
2013
In this age and time, enterprises are being seen
as the critical components of any social system
they dwell in. They are answerable not only from
a profitability and revenue point of view but to
the larger society, which is its stakeholder.
Doing business responsibly is now the well-accepted
business principle. This is where Sustainable
Development comes in. Adoption of responsible
business practices in the interest of the social set-up
and the environment are as vital as their financial and
operational performance.
Many organisations now report their environmental,
social and governance performance. Most stock markets
are in the process of making reporting on Sustainability
Indicators a requirement for listing.
This is the right time to internalise the inherent
message of Sustainable Development. In our endeavour
to further enhance awareness about this topic and also
to highlight the current initiatives in the corporate world,
the International Sustainable Development Conference
2013 has been envisaged.
The theme of the conference is Business Responsibility.
Join us to embark on a Sustainable Development
journey…
THEME: BUSINESS RESPONSIBILITY
Business responsibility is not new in India. It has existed
in some legacy Indian companies for over a hundred years.
These organisations intuitively set in place a framework
of stakeholder-inclusive governance and strategy-making
processes and made Sustainability the driver of their
business success. In the process, they earned the respect
of customers, employees, financial institutions, other
stakeholders and partnered with them to achieve long-
term benefits. In today’s context, business responsibility
remains as significant. It presents a unique opportunity
for companies to revisit or define their Sustainability
value proposition to build shareholder wealth and
ensure corporate growth while inculcating the qualities
of a responsible corporate citizen.
Compliance and reputation most certainly are the keys
to business sustenance, and a structured Business
Responsibility strategy is indeed a step in the right
direction. Drawing business value from the nine principles
of the National Voluntary Guidelines on Social,
Environmental and Economic Responsibilities of Business
and embedding them in business strategy is the key and
could surely help integrate Sustainability with business
performance.
Corporate India can truly leverage this opportunity to
build its next growth story, which would, this time around,
be centered on Sustainability and business responsibility.
Whether you are a new comer to the arena of
Sustainability or a seasoned Sustainability champion,
a top 100 company or one that is rapidly growing to
get there, the question remains the same…have you
leveraged business responsibility for growth and
success? Are your risks managed and opportunities
harnessed? Is your business geared to deliver
stakeholder expectations through Business
Responsibility? In short, are you ready?
