Abstract

The SDGs 2030 is a global initiative by 193 Member Nations of the United Nations (UN) calling for bold initiatives towards sustainable development focusing on people, planet, peace and prosperity. It is in this context that the Environment Social Governance (ESG) initiative to reach the SDG goals assume significance. It is noted that some less prominent nations have silently taken meaningful initiatives. India has also taken significant steps and the new Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) framework is effective from FY 2022-23. The way forward is a holistic humane approach backed by sheer professionalism having a multi-disciplinary base in using ESG as the framework to attain the SDGs.
