Background
Climate change is creating risks and opportunities for businesses in a diverse number of ways. There are questions arising, whether it is mandatory for a company to incorporate ESG when working on its business models and operating plans, and the response to that, should be a loud and definite ‘YES!’. Irrespective of whether the regulations are applicable or not, getting on to the sustainability journey today is an existential question.
Transition to net zero and resilient economies, that are socially inclusive, is particularly important for emerging economies like ours. Our dependencies on fossil fuels for electricity, transportation, manufacturing, or livelihood opportunities pose a heavy risk to this transition.
Investors, regulators and other stakeholders are challenging organisations to take responsibility sooner than later, by adopting an integrated, strategic approach to addressing the climate imperative.
The pathways to this transition are neither simple, nor straight forward.
