ASSOCHAM South has on-boarded WriteCanvas to host a webinar titled: Leading the Way: Driving Environmental Innovation, on June 5.

June 5, has been declared the World Environment Day. The webinar’s theme is in line with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)’s overarching concept of land restoration, desertification, and drought resilience for this year.

Renjini Liza Varghese, CEO, WriteCanvas will moderate the event. Eminent personalities like Manasa Nagabhushanam, Director (Academics, Research & Administration) Ramaiah Institute of Management, Bangalore Sridhar L, Head ESG, Bangalore International Airport, and Suma Krishnaswamy, Founder President, Cambium Biotechnologies will be a part of the esteemed panel.

According to Varghese, “The theme of the panel discussion has been long awaited. It will be interesting to hear about the corporates’ focus on various initiatives to preserve the environment, the matrix, and the lessons learned from implementing sustainability initiatives. More than what can be done, India needs to understand the best approach for climate action. We have a long way to go.”

Ms Nagabhushanam said, “The natural environment, which is currently considered external to business, will soon be considered internal. Businesses must take this issue seriously, establish internal guidelines, and coordinate internal initiatives for environmental change. Every business should take the initiative to embrace the environmental dimension rather than making it an aspect of the regulatory mandate.”

WriteCanvas and ASSOCHAM will also release an abbreviated version of the survey report titled “Is S the Blindspot in ESG?” in addition to the webinar. on June 5.
