The world today is in a state of continuous change. It is vital to develop positive change for the people and planet and change the ‘purpose of doing business’ and make profits with a greater social and environmental responsibility than ever before.
Year 2023 is a pivotal year to drive sustainability through critical conversations and collective actions. As India holds the Presidency of the G20 Summit, there is a tremendous opportunity for stakeholders across the globe to play a role in securing better future by addressing the SDGs, navigating Net Zero emissions, mainstreaming ESGs and integrating sustainability into the value chain. Individuals, businesses, and governments are now recognising the
importance of deeper collaboration through cross-sectoral partnership and robust action in attaining a sustainable future.
CII is appointed as B20 India Secretariat by the Government of India to lead the business engagement. The 18 th Sustainability Summit, which is a flagship event of CII is organised as a B20 official event.
The Sustainability Summit will bring to fore ideas and thought leadership on synergistic action to navigate the transition towards sustainable development. It will build discussion on solutions and innovations to enable actions and reinforcing global commitments for a cleaner, greener, and inclusive future.
