KPMG in India is set to host the second edition of its flagship ESG Conclave and Awards 2024 in Mumbai. Slated for 28 August 2024, the theme for this year’s event is Reflect | Adapt | Evolve…in Real Time which embodies a strategic approach to navigating challenges and changes. It means reflecting upon learnings, adapting to be flexible, and evolving proactively with a forward-looking mindset.
A pivotal gathering of thought leaders and industry dignitaries, the event is set to bring together diverse voices representing policymakers, investors, rating agencies, global think tanks, business owners and business leaders to deliberate on pertinent subject issues, acknowledge and recognize the best practices adopted by India Inc. and influence change by stimulating thought, triggering action and delivering impact.
As a prelude to our August 28, 2024 event, KPMG in India organised breakfast roundtables across three cities – Gurugram, Bengaluru and Mumbai. These roundtables were designed to bring together a select group of industry leaders to discuss the latest and emerging practices in ESG across three sectors , with the aim to drive meaningful deliberations on ESG integration in business, as well as relevant initiatives that can lead to successful outcomes and value creation at scale.
Sharing his views Yezdi Nagporewalla, CEO, KPMG in India said “Companies globally and in India are increasingly acknowledging the essential role of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) within their corporate strategies, with a view to ensuring resilience and sustainable growth amid complex geopolitical and economic hurdles. India is a key growth area for KPMG and ESG is a watermark for our organisation. It defines who we are and how we do our business. Through the second edition of our ESG Conclave and Awards 2024, we aim to recognise and bring to the fore, organisations who are committed to this agenda and partner with those who are seeking support in the implementation process.”
The global economic paradigm is shifting, and companies must start looking to account for the social impact of their businesses. An endless pursuit to profit as a sole metric is no longer considered sustainable. India can use its strengths in technology and an intrinsic understanding of digital innovation and circularity to show what a sustainability-first economy really looks like” said Namrata Rana, National Head of ESG, KPMG in India. “I would like to congratulate the nominated companies who have worked very hard towards making ESG a watermark of responsible business.” added Rana
