Global Warming has been a biggest concern in recent years. Rise in temperature, uncertain rainfalls, landslides are few visible results of global warming. Climate change is one of the major concerns we all should be worried about. Different companies Like Nestle, Nerolac, IG International, Havells have taken ESG initiatives to do their part in making the world a better place.

According to Crisil’s ESG risk assessment of 586 Indian companies for fiscal 2022, only 14 were placed in the leadership category, with 73 in the ‘below average’ and ‘weak’ categories. Around 108 companies were in the ‘strong’ category, the report showed.

The brands noticed that in order to grow sustainably they’ll have to take some measures for overall growth. ESG initiative enables them to grow in all aspects.
