Navigating Sustainability (Path to a responsible future) by Dr. Sanjeev Singhal & Dr. Pragati Mehra – Edition 2024

Description

With the pressing challenges of climate change, social inequality, and resource depletion, there is a growing recognition that businesses must go beyond mere profit generation and embrace practices that prioritize environmental stewardship, social well-being, and responsible governance; hence the term “Environmental, Social and Governance” (ESG). With investors becoming increasingly aware of ESG issues that can have an impact on financial performance, shareholder activism and ESG investing is on the rise. The integration of the several sustainability reporting standards to provide a uniform reporting standard can help investors make better decisions on where to place their money. ESG is here to stay and in the near future will be a factor to consider while assessing the performance of companies and also play a major role in compliance.
