The Bengal Chamber of Commerce and Industry understand that risk resilience is increasingly critical for organizations to flourish during uncertain times. As societal, environmental, and economic challenges arise, organizations that can manage, predict, and prepare for disruptions are better positioned to thrive. ESG drives risk resilience, cost optimization, and compliance.

India is committed to becoming carbon neutral by 2070. Risk mitigation strategies are driving urgency within Corporate India, but the potential for value creation will also drive ESG-centric organizational values. Sectors like Power, Steel, Cement, Plastic, Paint, and Agriculture sectors account for approximately 70 percent of carbon emissions in India. While many Indian Organizations are taking steps to reduce their carbon footprint, not all organizations have robust strategies in place to mitigate climate change impacts. Setting ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, implementing comprehensive carbon management practices, and assessing and disclosing climate-related risks and opportunities are a few ways in which organizations can move towards building improved ESG strategies.
