The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) on September 04, 2024, launched the Publication titled “ESG Guidebook and Ready Reckoner for Boards of Directors” at an interactive session held with Board members and independent directors.
The Guidebook, prepared in partnership with PwC, provides a practical, step-by-step reference to ESG and sustainability strategies based on leading global practices and the framework prescribed in India. The Guidebook aims to help Indian business enterprises adopt ESG within the organisational structure, processes and performance to achieve ESG transformation.
This guidebook aims to bridge the gap and establish a clear context on ESG fundamentals. Beginning with an overview of ESG concepts, the Guidebook helps understand the ESG ecosystem and delves deeper into the reporting fundamentals. At every juncture, the Guidebook provides the BoDs with actionable insights to implement requirements in their organisations. It also includes an ESG Ready Reckoner with a checklist that acts as a manual to verify whether the organisation complies with the practices and requirements. With this guidebook, Board members will be equipped to identify risks and opportunities and be able to re-align their organisational purpose and integrate ESG as a key pillar of their growth strategy.
