India, recognizing the paramount importance of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) commitments, has been diligently striving to establish itself as a global leader in sustainable growth. Over the past year, India has made significant efforts to implement robust strategies and initiatives that align with its sustainable development agenda. Building upon these foundations, the Indian Budget 2022 – 2023 aims to accelerate sustainable growth, promote the digital economy, drive the energy transition, and advance climate action. These endeavors focus on achieving macro-economic growth while ensuring micro-economic inclusive welfare development.
Commencing in April 2023, it will be mandatory for the top 1,000 listed companies in the country to produce a business responsibility and sustainability report as part of their annual financial reporting.
