The business world is becoming more environmentally and socially responsible. As businesses continue taking steps to be more purpose-driven, conscientious and responsible, the terms “corporate sustainability” and “corporate social responsibility” (CSR) are thrown around a lot, often without clarity and without knowing what these terms mean.
Principles of Sustainable Development and CSR have close links. Sustainable businesses create the future by creating stronger, richer markets for business. Focusing on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) allows companies to address a significant challenge facing corporates in order to devise an effective CSR approach valid across multiple jurisdictions.
The companies have been undergoing major transformation as they look to build the socially conscious companies of tomorrow. In a country like India, where economic integration and social inclusion are imperative forces that drive the masses towards development and growth CSR has become an integral and impactful part of corporate landscape.
The Bharat CSR & Sustainability Conclave & Awards is an annual event held in India to recognize and honor organizations that have made significant contributions in the field of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and sustainability.
The event brings together CSR changemakers /Leaders / Strategist / Regulatory Bodies and Sustainability Heads under one roof to Experience the open, genuine, and inspirational conversation to discuss and share best practices, trends, and challenges in CSR and sustainability. It serves as a platform for exchanging ideas, networking, and learning from each other’s experiences in creating a positive impact on society and the environment.
Overall, the conclave and awards aim to inspire, encourage, and motivate organizations to adopt sustainable business practices and become catalysts for positive social change.
