OBJECTIVE OF THE ROUNDTABLE

Main goal of the roundtable is to share experience, foster dialogue and
formulate best practices for building a sustainable future for the society,
community, business and the planet. In this session, sustainability
professionals from leading organizations will present their experience and
learnings on how their organizations could integrate corporate business strategy
with their sustainability related goals. Any challenges faced and strategies
used to overcome will also be shared with a vision to road ahead.


KEY POINTS TO BE DISCUSSED

Some of the key questions to be discussed will be

 * Do CSOs and CFO’s talk today to develop a joint business strategy for the
   organization? Please share your experiences and views and on how could this
   be best done.
 * Are the international investors asking unrealistic compliances that are
   difficult to comply? Is there any good “return on investments” if these
   compliances are adhered to? What is your experience?

 * Managing ESG at the supply-chains is perhaps one of the daunting tasks for a
   CSO. How are you addressing this challenge at your organization? Is this an
   opportunity?
 * Will Climate Action be the prime driver towards business sustainability in
   the years to come? How are you positioning climate action in your company’s
   business canvas?
