Management Systems (ISO 14001- Mid 90s)
1987: United Nations released Brundtland Report, which defined Sustainable
Development as:
“Sustainable Development is development that meets the needs of the
present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their
own needs”
1992: Earth Summit, Rio Conference Over 178 Countries adopted the
recommendations of Earth Summit
Agenda 21: Better know as The Rio Declaration on Environment and
Development having 27 principles that express the rights and responsibilities
of nations and human development

History - Sustainable Development
At the 2005 World Summit, it was noted that the concept requires the
reconciliation of Environmental, Social equity and Economic demands – the
"three pillars" of sustainability or (the 3 E's).
EMERGENCE OF GLOBAL REPORTING INTIATIVE
The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), The Netherlands, is working towards a
sustainable global economy by providing Sustainability Reporting
Guidelines. GRI has pioneered and developed a comprehensive
Sustainability Reporting Framework that is widely used around the world.
The Framework enables all organizations to measure and report their
Economic, Environmental, Social and Governance performance – the
key areas of Sustainability Reporting better known as TBL.

Sustainability Reporting
Sustainability Reporting helps in benchmarking organizational performance
with respect to laws, norms, codes, compliance standards and many other
voluntary initiatives as well as the vision and mission of the company
What you can’t measure, you can’t manage.
What you can’t manage, you can’t change!
What gets communicated, gets understood!
The Role of Head Sustainability or Head EHS or CSO is very important to
communicate to senior management about the learning of each year from
sustainability reporting and action required by various departments for
Inclusive Growth

Chronos – e-learning
• Sustainability training for Environment and Sustainability staff at
Corporate and other locations as well as to other departments as
discussed for Sustainability Council and Sustainability Committee. This
will be through Chronos, an e learning tutorial on Sustainability
Leadership from University of Cambridge, UK . The cost is given below:
50 Persons £1,500 (£30 per person)
100 Persons £2,000 (£20 per person)

Sustainability Indicators
Economic 9 (Finance)
Environment 30 ( Operations & EHS)
Social 45
• Labor Practice 15 (HR)
• Human Right 11 (HR)

suggested by UNGC) by Corporate Sustainability
• Sustainability Team should organize training on the subject as well as relative
indicators for different departments at Corporate level and incorporate

engagement etc. should be also discussed with Sustainability Council and
Committees

Inequality- The Reasons
• In India too this has increased. However, this is not a story of the rich
getting richer and the poor getting poorer. Rather, the rich are getting
richer faster than the poor
• Inequalities in health, education, and economic assets are high & the key
factor responsible for increases in inequality appears to be unevenness in
growth
• The interplay between market-oriented reforms, globalization, and
• The interplay between market-oriented reforms, globalization, and
technology has played a role in unequal growth
• Corresponding to rapid output growth, employment growth has been far
lower in recent years
• The differences in real wages between the bottom and top of the labor
force in urban areas increased significantly over the last two decades. At the
same time, rural–urban differentials in real wages have also widened

Inequality Drivers
The main 3 drivers of inequalities are;
1. Inherent by-product of the growth process i.e. and knee-jerk reactions to
eliminate increases in inequalities may stifle the growth process itself
2. Lack of access to basic public services such as credit, and risk-mitigating
instruments perpetuate the lack of capabilities and opportunities for large
sections of society
sections of society
3. The marginalization and bypassing of significant sections of society could
undermine the sustainability of growth
In fact, Inequality is an outcome of the above drivers, and how it should be
addressed must begin with identifying the drivers of inequality within the
organization through sustainability reporting to attain Inclusive growth

Inclusive Growth: A Strategy
The 3 pillars for Inclusive Growth are;
1. Creating opportunities
– Equalizing opportunities means that the opportunities generated by
growth are available and shared across the entire spectrum of the
community
2. Ensuring equal access
2. Ensuring equal access
– Equalizing access of economic opportunities to the community in the
vicinity and enable individuals to qualify for productive and decent
employment
3. Social protection
– Livelihood generation, better medical facilities, Good Primary Education
etc.

Inclusivity for Sustainable Growth – A Reality
• While high and sustainable growth are absolute requirements, the fruits of
growth must be shared more equally
• The thrust of inclusive growth is on the positive, emphasizing expanding
opportunities and capability enhancement . The directional change is from
entitlement to empowerment
• Public policy interventions to be in place to guarantee an even playing field
so that people can be empowered to lift themselves up to exploit the
opportunities generated by rapid and sustained growth
• Reforms relating to governance, institutions, and policies that address both
economic and political inequality will need to be addressed simultaneously
