Title: Corporate Sustainability Disclosure in India
Abstract: In the world of ever changing challenges companies are shifting away from risk management approaches and towards an approach that has learning and innovation at its heart. Embedding sustainability is necessity if companies are to know and understand their social and environmental impacts and how to minimise the dangers and maximise the opportunities associated with the new and emerging challenges. Voluntary efforts and statutory obligations are required to ensure that companies assume appropriate responsibility and transparency for various human rights and environmental obligations. However the principal issues of what ‘social, economic and environment’ issues should be reported on are still far from resolved. This study seeks to determine the extent of corporate environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting in India as per global reporting indicators and to do a comparative study of sustainable reporting in computer industry. The paper concludes that India still has a long way to go as far as sustainability reporting is concerned and rigorous efforts are required to bring this reporting in the main stream.
