"sustainability" with India's business world has

been truly commendable. They have done not

large and successful corporations. Without this

change, there can be no green economy, and no

sustainable development. I wish CII and its

members all the best for their forthcoming

Sustainability Summit".

Pavan Sukhdev

nurturing CII's annual Sustainability Summit.

thThe 8 Sustainability Solution Summit will feature thoughts-and-action leaders from across the globe to discuss challenges,

opportunities, and strategies for making sustainability solutions work with focus on :

Natural Capital comprises Earth’s natural assets and the ecosystem services which make human life possible. It provides flow of goods

and services that sustain our economy. Despite being most valuable and indispensable form of capital, these services are increasingly

acknowledged as depleted and destructible. It is time to recognize the true cost of natural capital and we must reinvest in restoring it

where degraded, sustain it where healthy and expand it whenever possible. This session will discuss the key components for sustenance of

natural capital and recognize opportunities for integrated economic, environmental and social development.

Businesses today recognize the importance of social, economic, environmental, and ethical factors, and appreciate the advantages associated

with sustainable investing. Investors also seek to incorporate concepts like sustainability and responsible corporate behavior into their

assessments for creating long-term value. There is a growing evidence that companies with stronger sustainable performances often carry less risk,

achieve greater efficiencies and tends to produce higher investment return with high level of innovation. This session will discuss how businesses

and investors are looking into opportunities and risk-adjusted financial returns associated with Sustainable Investing. The session will further break

out into the focused plenaries on Next Generation Mobility, Clean Technology and Retail Sustainability.

The existing transport system is predominantly based on combustion of fossil fuels, making it one of the largest contributors to air pollution and

climate change. Alternative fuels and vehicles are one of the possible solutions to tackle this challenge. So this session will focus on the initiatives

that lead to new mobility concepts through technological developments and innovation.

Natural Capital: An Economic Imperative

Investing in Sustainability

Next Generation Mobility

Focus

thAs in previous years, the 8 Sustainability Solutions Summit will attract

participants from Academia, Financial Institutions, Civil society, Consultants,

Clean technologies

Retail Sustainability

Integrated Reporting

The surging economy, rapid growth and the urgency to address issues such as climate change, energy security and water scarcity has

increased the demand for clean technologies. The deployment of cleaner technologies in India will significantly promote economic

development, environmental conservation and reduce poverty. In order to have tangible and enduring impacts; it is important to

recognize challenges and seek solutions to accelerate the development of these technologies. The session will focus on perspective of

growth of clean technologies in India.

Sustainability has become a core consideration for players in the retail industry, as there is a progressive demand from the consumers for

sustainable products. There is a rising demand for certified products that are eco-friendly. Informational labels outlining carbon efficiency of

products is become part and parcel of product labeling. Setting and achieving environmental and social goals in a retail industry is usually a

daunting task requiring significant resources and expertise. The retailers need to unlock what sustainable value means for their consumers, not just

in terms of price, but also quality and a wide range of other characteristics. This session will look at the trends, types of initiatives undertaken and

best practices across the sector to attain a sustainable business model.

Due to the increasing complexity of factors that a business must acknowledge, such as globalization, societal expectations and regulatory

interventions, existing forms of corporate reporting are ineffective in supporting organizations to comprehend and portray an accurate nature of

their operations. Integrated Reporting is a new corporate reporting model designed to fill this gap by building on existing financial and

sustainability reporting models, and enhancing them to provide a more accurate picture of an organization’s operating context and its

performance. Integrated Thinking is the term given for integrating sustainability and value creation elements to an organization’s strategy,

governance and business model. The Integrated Report is the external communication that discloses how this Integrated Thinking approach

and performance of an organization creates value in the short, medium and long term. This session will focus on the importance and need

of Integrated Reporting in today’s business environment together with the roles of different stakeholders in creating an environment that

will support its widespread adoption by business.

Listed below are the organisations whose support in the last seven years has

made the Sustainability Summit a big success.

Good Governance is Key to Sustainability

How India Innovates

Evolving Next Generation of Environmental Regulatory Standards

Corporate governance today is a strategic necessity for sustainable development. Corporations that demonstrate good

governance practices are able to secure investments. However, large no. of companies need to understand and respond to the

changing stakeholder’s expectations where corporate governance is considered as a key prerequisite for sustainable and

responsible businesses. Companies need to recognize the challenge of shaping long-term sustainable development strategies

and, through their governance structures, embed sustainability into their strategy development, decision making and reporting

processes. This session aims to discuss the importance and challenges of good governance strategy which is one of the gateways to

sustainability.

In today’s scenario of global uncertainty and challenges related to sustainability, innovation is critical for the future success of any business. In

order to add value and have a long term impact for the business and its stakeholders, the emphasis must be given to developing sustainable

and inclusive solutions. The innovations should not only be limited to finding solutions for the conventional markets but also consider people

at the bottom-of-pyramid. These solutions should be affordable and of high quality. The session will be based on the Innovation Study 2013

which the CII-ITC Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Development conducted to capture the innovation capabilities of Indian companies. The

panelists will be discussing how businesses in India foster innovations that lead to solutions thus addressing the challenges of sustainability.

The effective implementation of the environmental policy and wide range of regulatory and legislative measures requires processes, procedures

and institutions at the Centre, State and District levels with the capacity to plan, implement, monitor and enforce compliance. Despite a strong

policy and institutional framework and some successes, environmental degradation has not been arrested on a large scale. The most common

criteria pollutants, measured by the regulatory authorities are on a rising trend. These are not only posing a health hazard to the general public

but also adding to the social cost in terms of lower productivity and higher medical expenses. It is very important for the stakeholders to discuss

the various options on how to make the existing regulatory regime more effective and work out the next generation of environmental

regulatory standards. This policy track aims to discuss the inclusion of market based instruments, capacity building of the regulators,

evaluation and adoption of green technologies etc.
