Environment & Sustainability

With the growing global and domestic focus on climate change, ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) frameworks, and sustainable development, businesses in India are under increasing pressure to align operations with environmental norms and sustainability commitments. The regulatory environment includes stringent environmental statutes, waste management obligations, and extended producer responsibility (EPR) frameworks, along with new opportunities in carbon markets and green finance.
