Slate of Swan Designs the CII-Consultivo ESG Readiness Report
The report was launched by Dr. Shashi Panja, Hon’ble Minister-in-Charge, Government of West Bengal, in the presence of industry leaders, policymakers, and ESG experts.
Slate of Swan is proud to have designed this critical compendium, which provides an in-depth analysis of ESG preparedness among CII member companies in West Bengal. The report sheds light on key trends, challenges, and opportunities, offering businesses a strategic roadmap for ESG integration.
Key Insights from the ESG Readiness Report
01
Growing ESG Commitment
The study reveals a promising shift towards ESG compliance, with many organizations integrating sustainability into core business strategies. Companies are recognizing the long-term value of ESG investments, particularly in environmental conservation, social responsibility, and corporate governance.
02
Environmental Focus
The report highlights the importance of energy efficiency, pollution control, and waste management. While 66.7% of industries monitor energy consumption and emissions, sectors such as supply chain, construction, and pharmaceuticals still present opportunities for improvement. Renewable energy adoption remains an area of gradual but steady growth.
03
Social Responsibility & Community Engagement
Over 72.2% of companies actively engage with local communities, focusing on labour practices, social certification, and employee well-being. However, the report also calls for stronger alignment between business objectives and social impact initiatives.
04
Governance & Ethical Practices
Corporate governance remains a high priority, with 61.11% of companies having independent boards of directors and 80.56% enforcing anti-bribery and corruption policies. However, there is a need for greater transparency in ESG disclosures to align with evolving global standards.
Panel Discussion & Thought Leadership
The report was launched during the panel discussion on ‘West Bengal: Poised to Lead – Sustainability Leadership’, where industry experts explored the future of ESG in corporate India. Madhabi Guha, Co-founder of Slate of Swan, was part of this esteemed panel, alongside business leaders from Exide Industries, Woodlands Hospital, Uber India, Emami Ltd., and others.
