“As India rebounds from the COVID-19 pandemic, we cannot afford to ignore the adverse impacts of climate change and the threat it poses towards the country’s future growth. Short-term profitability has to be nurtured together with the long-term sustainability for recovering from the pandemic today as well as to put us onto the path of a low-carbon future in a 2050 timeline,” said Dr. Vibha Dhawan, Director General of TERI in a statement.
The Sustainability 4.0 Awards program highlights the need for links between an organization’s strategy, governance and financial performance and the social, environmental, and economic context within which it operates. This program enables businesses to make more logical and sustainable decisions that ensure long-term stakeholder value. It emphasizes the four pillars of sustainability: purpose, partnership, planet, and people.
“The companies which fared well in all of these parameters came out winners, and I would like to congratulate the winners of the 2021 edition of this award program,” said Rahul Sharma, Director and Global Head, Manufacturing & Process Consulting Practice, Frost & Sullivan in a statement.
