India, which is home to one-sixth of the world's population, is critical to the success of the 2030 Agenda. While demands and expectations on the country have increased, the reality is that India is lagging on SDG targets and remains an outlier in terms of performance on the 2030 targets. Although consistent efforts are being made towards achieving the United Nations’ SDGs, with NITI Aayog’s latest SDG India Index showing that the nation’s overall score across SDGs improved to 66 in 2020-21, the country has a long way to go. With the recent G20 presidency baton being passed to India in December 2022, it puts the country in a unique position to get back on track to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). And to enable the country achieve its 2030 targets, India Inc. will need step up and streamline their environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations with broader societal and environmental goals. Owing to the growing impetus on climate change and sustainability, organizations in India have already started to realize a greater need to prioritize ESG. In fact, there has been a fivefold growth in internet searches for ESG criteria since 2019, and companies of all sizes across industries have been allocating more resources toward improving ESG. The unprecedented events of the recent years have also led company stakeholders and investors to draw Board’s attention on a broad range of environmental, social and governance issues.
