Building a Greener Tomorrow: Key Takeaways from the June 2024 ESG Newsletter
In today’s rapidly evolving business environment, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a business imperative. The June 2024 edition of “स्थायित्वम्,” an ESG-focused newsletter by CNK & Associates LLP, dives deep into Principle 6 of the SEBI-mandated Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR), which emphasizes the urgent need for businesses to respect, protect, and restore the environment.
This issue is especially relevant as companies and investors increasingly align with ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) goals, not only to meet compliance requirements but also to foster long-term value creation. From demystifying greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to outlining actionable strategies for net zero targets, the newsletter highlights sector-wise emission statistics, sustainable industry practices, and innovative carbon reduction techniques.
Key highlights include:
Understanding the impact and types of GHGs—CO₂, methane, nitrous oxide, and fluorinated gases.
Industry-wise breakdown of emissions and their environmental implications.
Best practices adopted by Indian corporations like Tata Steel, Asian Paints, and Reliance Industries.
Insights on energy efficiency, waste management, carbon capture, and water discharge management.
Educational tools like quizzes and crosswords to enhance environmental literacy.
