'India Inc has been passive and reactive on climate change'

Is India Inc really prepared to play its part in bridging the gap between development and environmental protection?...NGO Center for Social Markets (CSM) has produced a film titled In Good Company: Corporate India and the Climate Challenge that partly tries to answer the question but also raises some red flags on the issue... The...film...focuses on how businesses view the agenda and what they are doing. The “usual suspects” are to be found – ITC’s Yogi Deveshwar, Tata group’s J J Irani, Mahindra’s Anand Mahindra, Godrej group’s Jamshyd Godrej – but so are a host of smaller eco-preneurs...CSM’s founder and climate change campaigner Malini Mehra...discusses the challenges of India’s private sector sustainability agenda.
