The biggest environmental disaster is poverty and unless we eradicate poverty, we can’t have a level playing field and we cannot have a definite way of sustainable living.

Prakash JavadekarMinister of State (I/C) for Environment,Forest & Climate Change

Sustainability Summit is a landmark event; it has contributed significantly to raise awareness and to implement sustainability on the ground.

Ashok LavasaThen Secretary, Ministry of Environment,Forest & Climate Change

Loss of biodiversity is irreversible unlike climate change.

Governments have to play a role in market preparation for the electric vehicles. Government can provide monetary incentives, however, non-monetary incentives are also very important and the framework conditions to support the environment for Electric Vehicles.

Juan Costa ClimentGlobal Leader for Climate Change& Sustainability Services,Ernst & Young

The world is becoming more and more unpredictable with each passing year and hence the solutions need to be dynamic. This indicates that business needs to be more dynamic and flexible with solutions. This calls for business leadership to come together. The world should move towards increased transparency, management and accountability.

Peter BakkerPresident, World Business Council forSustainable Development

We only talk about global economic imbalances and geopolitical issues but not the carbon pricing. Impact of economy decisions play big role in climate change.

SDGs is an equal dialogue in the world with differentiated responsibilities for what happened in the past. They aim at elimination of poverty around us, reduction of inequalities and sustainability of the planet. Without India, global efforts to meet Sustainable Development Goals would be an impossible proposition.

Subject of water raises all kind of emotions just like land, but one can put a boundary on land, where do you put a boundary on water? Water flows from one place to another.

N K RanganathManaging DirectorGrundfos Pumps India

Affordable housing is the basic requirement of citizens; one important aspect of smart cities is access to approval in a fairly transparent manner.

B RajagopalPresident, DSM India

Fundamentally the world has few problems and they can be categorized in three sections: food, energy and water. Solutions for the problems can be reached with two things: adaptation and technology.

George VarughesePresidentDevelopment Alternatives Group

Enlightened leadership, change in consumption behaviour and certification are key solutions to safeguard biodiversity and ecosystem services.

Ravi SinghSecretary General & CEOWWF-India

Half of the SDGs can clearly be referred as a destination goal for humanity. Means of implementation/partnership is going to be driving the whole system. We need to see how these aspects gets applied to our day to day life.

The crops chosen to grow in Punjab, i.e. rice and wheat are guzzlers of water. Ground water sources have been drained to the extent that almost 47% of the wells have gone beyond 10 metres deep in last 20 years. It is feared that in future we will not have enough water to sustain crops like sugarcane and rice.

Gokul PatnaikChairman, Global Agrisystems Private Limited

The year 2016 brings with it a new vision focussing on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris climate deal. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has stated that, “The seventeen Sustainable Development Goals are our shared vision of humanity and a social contract between the world's leaders and the people. They are a to-do list for people and planet, and a blue print for success.”

Turning this vision into reality is primarily the responsibility of countries, but no country can do it alone. It requires new innovative partnerships and models to make it happen. We all have a stake and a contribution to make including government, business, civil society and other representatives.

CII's annual theme for the year 2016-17 is “Building National Competitiveness”. CII has outlined six key enablers for building national competitiveness, i.e., “Human development, Ease of doing business, Corporate integrity & good citizenship, Innovative & technical capability, Sustainability, and Integrating with the world”.

It is with this background that, CII-ITC Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Development is organizing

ththe 11 edition of India's leading sustainability event. It is a platform for businesses, governments, thought leaders and civil society to discuss and share ideas, provide sustainable and innovative solutions to shape the future of sustainable world. The theme for the

t h 11 Sustainability Summit is “Global Goals & Competitiveness” and it will have an inclusive focus on some of the key goals out of the 17 listed SDGs and on building our national competitiveness.

The Summit 2015 created a progressive dialogue

between Indian business and government on the high-level Paris negotiations. Post Summit, CII had mounted a large CEOs delegation led by its President. The delegation participated in series of events at the COP21 in Paris presenting the Industry perspective.

The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) works to create and sustain an environment conducive to the development of India, partnering industry, Government, and civil society, through advisory and consultative processes.

CII is a non-government, not-for-profit, industry-led and industry-managed organization, playing a proactive role in India's development process. Founded in 1895, India's premier business association has over 8000 members, from the private as well as public sectors, including SMEs and MNCs, and an indirect membership of over 200,000 enterprises from around 240 national and regional sectoral industry bodies.

CII charts change by working closely with Government on policy issues, interfacing with thought leaders, and enhancing efficiency, competitiveness and business opportunities for industry through a range of specialized services and strategic global linkages. It also provides a platform for consensus-building and networking on key issues.

Extending its agenda beyond business, CII assists industry to identify and execute corporate citizenship programmes. Partnerships with civil society organizations carry forward corporate initiatives for integrated and inclusive development across diverse domains including affirmative action, healthcare, education, livelihood, diversity management, skill development, empowerment of women, and water, to name a few.

The CII theme for 2016-17, Building National Competitiveness, emphasizes Industry's role in partnering Government to accelerate competitiveness across sectors, with sustained global competitiveness as the goal. The focus is on six key enablers: Human Development; Corporate Integrity and Good Citizenship; Ease of Doing Business; Innovation and Technical Capability; Sustainability; and Integration with the World.

With 66 offices, including 9 Centres of Excellence, in India, and 9 overseas offices in Australia, Bahrain, China, Egypt, France, Germany, Singapore, UK, and USA, as well as institutional partnerships with 320 counterpart organizations in 106 countries, CII serves as a reference point for Indian industry and the international business community.

Our world is entering an age of unprecedented risks and opportunities. There is immense pressure on our natural resources, carbon emissions are alarmingly high, and inequalities are increasing. The environment is suffering as are the people. In light of this, sustainability has become a major concern for businesses. It pressurizes them to adapt accordingly so that their practices meet the need of the changing environment.

That's where we come in. We nurture our clients to compete, expand opportunity and excel in today's dynamic business environments. The Centre works to create and sustain an environment conducive to the growth of business, partnering business and government alike through training, advisory and consultative services. These services comprise capacity building and training programmes and workshops related to environment policies, management systems, management frameworks, performance assessment, sustainability reporting, stakeholder engagement, sustainability assurance, climate change, sustainable business portfolios and business model innovation to name a few.

Today, India faces multiple challenges. The major challenges are economic, social and environmental in nature. In the last two decades, India has seen tremendous growth. However, the beneficiaries of this growth are but a small section of the country's population. There is an ever-widening gap between the haves and the have nots. The majority of the population remains at the periphery of development, while the rest lean towards the other extreme, that of immense wealth. There are disparities amongst regions, states, sectors and communities. This exclusion from the benefits of economic growth development has rendered people steeped in poverty with very low standards of living.

The environmental challenges that the world and India, especially as a developing economy, faces are depleting natural resources, environmental degradation, sky rocketing GHG emissions and consequently, climate change. The combination of these economic, social and environmental challenges could prove to be detrimental to the future growth of India as a country and as a sustainable economy. The Centre works to mitigate these problems and engender a transformation in the way business is conducted.

In order to do so and achieve sustainable, equitable and inclusive growth, the Centre seeks to bring transformation through a complete programme of policy advocacy, knowledge creation, knowledge dissemination and 'on-ground'model projects. The Centre works with businesses and the government to bring about this transformation and address the various issues of sustainability, environmental degradation, climate change, inclusion etc. The training and consulting services we provide facilitate companies in their sustainability efforts.
