A sustainable business is basically a business approach to create a long-term value by incorporating the elements of

triple bottom line in the business objectives .It creates profit for its shareholders while protecting the environment

and improving the lives of those with whom it interacts. This approach has been there since long but has not really

made a big difference in the way business is conducted .

Sustainability shall remains one of the popular topics of

discussions in five-star conferences. The impact of COVID

has shown us the stark reality that this cannot go on

forever and each one of us needs to ensure that it is

everyone’s business to come forth and make their

contributions in making life and businesses sustainable by

following and adopting practices that accelerate the

process of creating a sustainable ecosystem around our

lives . Businesses need to play a major role in this.

There still exists a notion that spending on environment

conservation or social measures is nothing but a

philanthropic activity and has nothing to do with how

businesses can become profitable

Nonetheless there are many examples how corporates

have adopted the principles of Sustainability in their

business strategies and have made a difference, such as:

• Nike has focused on reducing waste & minimizing

footprint, whereas Adidas has created a greener supply

chain targeting issues like dyeing and eliminating plastic

bags.

• Unilever has focused on organic palm oil, overall waste

and resource footprint. Nestlé is focusing in areas such as

product life cycle, climate, water efficiency and waste.

• Walmart, IKEA and H&M have moved toward more

sustainable retailing, by collaboration across their supply

chains to reduce waste, increase resource productivity

and optimize material usage along with steps to address

local labor conditions.

services that our biodiversity provides is about 125 trillion

Rupees/ year. Each of us use medicines in some form or the

other. We must understand that and be aware that nature is

an essential source of these drugs used in modern medicine.

Plants, animals and microbes enable medical researchers to

understand human physiology and treat diseases. As per an

UN estimate, a staggering number of four billion people rely

primarily on natural medicines .About 7 percent of cancer

drugs are either natural products or synthetics that are

inspired by nature. In the United States, at least 118 of the top

150 prescription drugs are based on natural source .These

figures for India may be even more as we use a variety of

alternative medicines such as Ayurveda, homeopathy,

traditional medicines, etc

Dr. Sujit Kumar Bajpayee

Government of India

Through this article, I would like to touch upon the

fundamental concept and basis of our existence,. It’s NATURE

around us. When we talk about environment, nature, natural

resources, biodiversity, it’s not just flora and fauna which we

see around us on daily basis. It is biodiversity of all types . Be

it genetic diversity, species diversity, ecosystem diversity,

cultural diversity, so on so forth.

Biodiversity and natural ecosystem around us is actually the

foundation of life . What it offers is absolutely essential for

human wellbeing and our culture .

In countless ways, this web sustains the natural and cultural

connections that ties us together. We hardly realize and

recognize hundreds of products that we use each day, the

ones that find their origin from the nature around us. In

addition, the lives and livelihood of millions of people from

different sectors such as forest, fisheries, agriculture, tourism,

pharmaceuticals, construction, food & beverages, etc. are

linked as they either depend on direct extraction of resources

from forests and oceans or rely on ecosystem such as healthy

soils, clean water, pollination etc. In India alone, more than

650 million people depend on natural resources for their

livelihood. As per an estimate the cost of the ecosystem

There is a growing need

globally to build back better

and ensure resilient and

green recovery post Covid-19

There is broad consensus among scientist now that zoonotic

diseases like COVID-19 are closely linked with the loss of

biodiversity, forests and of course illegal wildlife trade.

Imagine the power of nature that even the so-called

developed and powerful countries didn’t have any immediate

solution to this problem. Some of the researches have shown

that fatality rate is higher in areas where air pollution was

high, others have shown men are more vulnerable than

women, others project that adults above 65 years and

children less than 12 years are more vulnerable to this

disease. There are so many other studies going on around the

world to understand the cause, reason ,solutions and impact

but in the end we still do not have immediate solution. The

impact of this pandemic is huge and complex.

www.powertalkwitharchanna.com 11


Although due to improved medical care, drugs and

vaccines ,the mortality rate has come down, it has been

reported that outbreaks of infectious disease worldwide

have increased steadily since 1980s and thus the proverb

‘Prevention is Better than cure’ HOLDS TRUE

Prevention of what? Prevention of reasons which caused

this or such diseases in the past or the reasons which may

cause many such diseases in the future? Here comes the

importance of biodiversity and nature conservation.

Nature was and shall remain the the answer to most of

the challenges that are being faced by humanity in spite

of technical advances we have made .

A very interesting example is that of Oxygen. It is one

among many gifts mother earth showers on us. If we

quantify the cost of the oxygen one person inhales

everyday with the rate of the oxygen cylinder, it is

enormous. If we hypothetically take the average cost of a

2.75 litre portable oxygen cylinder to be Rs. 6,500, then

on a single day a person consumes oxygen worth about

Rs. 13 lakh. Thus there is need to keep the environment

at the heart of all our development strategies because

there is no Planet B. Remember, Mother Earth is

showering these to us absolutely free of cost!

However post Covid-19, it is evident that future trade and

investment decisions cannot be made solely based on

such indices, given their narrow focus on economic

indicators and infrastructure. Expansion of such metrics

by incorporating indicators pertaining to resilience,

inclusivity, equity, environmental & social protection,

climate change, etc. among others, seems to be

imperative now.

Business can’t afford to slip

back to business as usual

and need to learn from

mistakes; it’s time to think

Business Unusual

Social component, the second pillar of sustainability. It is

of no less importance.COVID-19 has been quite a leveller.

Socio-economic status is strongly related to vulnerabilities

where poor and underprivileged suffer to a

disproportionate extent. The images of migrant labourers

walking hundreds of kilometres to reach their native

places and many losing lives before reaching their

destinations are still alive in our hearts and minds.

In fact COVID19 has exposed the fault in our conventional

way of business, state and society governance. There is a

growing need globally to build back better and ensure

resilient and green recovery post Covid-19. Experience

from Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown in India has

underlined that protecting workers, communities and

environment is not only the right thing to do for Indian

businesses, but key to their long-term resilience.

Sustainability permeates every aspect of a company’s

operations – from procurement to disposal – and requires

active engagement of every employee so companies can

transform to more sustainable business models.

Consensus is emerging globally about greater attention

and investments towards preventing and mitigating

negative impacts of businesses on workers, communities

and environment. Businesses are coming forth to stay

better informed in future about risks and vulnerabilities in

their value chains and investments.

So far Competitiveness indices are normally have been

used as barometer by business leaders, investors and

analysts globally to test business friendliness of countries

The European Union (EU) is India’s largest trading partner

accounting for Euro 80 billion worth of trade in goods in

2019, or 11.1% of total Indian trade. This is the secondlargest

destination for Indian exports (over 14% of the

total) after the US. In April this year, European

Commission announced to introduce a legislation for

mandatory social and environmental diligence in the

supply chain of EU companies by 2021. The need to

disclose social and environmental impacts of their trade

and investment activities is also made mandatory

So in nutshell, three things emerge- First we must care

for Our Planet, second People are the biggest

stakeholders and third Profit is important because,

without it business cannot survive.

Any development without meeting the Sustainable

Development Goals (SDGs) is incomplete. While COVID

pandemic presents enormous health and economic

challenges, there are opportunities to jumpstart

economies and rebuild societies through green recovery

plans aligned with the 2030 Agenda. There is a consensus

world-wide that the only way countries will recover from

COVID-19 is if the international community remains

committed to the Sustainable Development Goals and

shall thus ensures prosperity for all and build resilience .

So basically 2030 Agenda should be our roadmaps for

building back better. This pandemic has taught us, how to

overcome our socio-environmental challenges. Each one

of us – as individuals, companies or governments – need

to take ownership of our future. Being a spectator is no

longer an option.

Sustainable Initiatives

Sustainability is a buzz word these days with individuals and organisations committing to and aligning their ideas and

initiatives to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by 193 nations of the world in 2015. The SDGs are a

framework, a ready reckoner, of targets and indicators that need to be achieved in a limited time frame. The 17

Sustainable Development Goals address challenges that people all over the world face including poverty, lack of access

to education, different types of inequality, climate, environmental degradation, peace and justice, and much more.

Q

Role

For me however sustainability continues to be about a

proverb that I heard as a teenager – “We do not inherit

the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our

children”. For me sustainability means caring for the

planet, both the living and non-living things. It is

moving on from conversation about doing less harm,

to commitments about doing more good. However,

sustainability also is not just environmentalism.

Embedded in most definitions of sustainability we need

to focus on concerns for social equity, empathy, and

justice. Even though sustainability sounds like an

institutional level topic, the truth is that it is about

every individual that takes a random decision or makes

an action, no matter how small it is, that is beyond

limited self-interest. I believe everyone can contribute

to a sustainable world by making responsible choices in

our daily lives and harnessing entrepreneurial spirit in

finding innovative solutions to current global

challenges.

Some organisations pursue sustainability out of

pragmatism, some out of idealism. Regardless of their

motivation, they consistently generate positive growth

rates and profit margins

Power Talkl Sustainable Profits

Leaders today have an incredible opportunity to carve

out a new future for their businesses by incorporating

the principles of sustainability into their strategy.

Innovative business models and stages of disruption can

be used by companies to drive change. Amidst the

increasing focus on people, planet and profits, it is

. considered a business leader’s responsibility to create a

perfect balance between short- and long-term priorities

to create enhanced value for stakeholders. Sustainability

leaders need to evolve their business models to respond

to major discontinuities, such as high natural resource

prices or changes in demand, that create material risks

to the business or opportunities

Businesses with environmental, social, and corporate

governance (ESG) principles built into their strategy can

mitigate risk and drive profitable growth. Chief

sustainability officers play a significant role in this regard,

which includes translating the promise of sustainability

into value propositions, which are relevant to different

verticals of the company. Some sustainability practices

and initiatives could include carbon pricing, sciencebased

targets, and investment in green technology

solutions. What needs to be done is translate the

traditional vision of ‘business profitability’ to one of

‘broader social impact’.

Another essential requirement is to unlearn and relearn

how business measures profits. The recent pandemic


and subsequent lockdown has driven home the fact that simple

things that people took for granted are worth much more than the

material benefits that individuals are focused on amassing. As also

the realization that we increasingly live in a global interconnected

world.

MSMEs form value chain of

thinking outside the box

MSME to integrate core business

Qpractices and mainstream

ambitious sustainability goals to

see a clear transformation?

Ms. Shabnam Siddiqui

Officiating Executive Director

Global Compact Network India

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play a key role in

the economies of all the countries in the world by their

contribution to the national economic growth and employment.

In an increasingly complex, competitive and volatile business

environment, the adoption of sustainability principles is of

utmost importance for the sheer survival and steady sustainable

growth of the small and medium-sized enterprises. However in

order to successfully integrate Sustainability principles and

practices within the SME business culture, SMEs need to

understand the emerging opportunities and the relevance to

them.

There is ample evidence available to suggest the various ways

MSME’s are working towards merging business practices with

the SDG’s and there is a lot of potential to foster these

advancements. Individual MSMEs have the potential to adopt

actions in their business practice to achieve SDG’s. Mirroring

large company’s policies, MSMEs can be encouraged to adopt

gender inclusive policies within their business practice and in

their value chains. They can do this by ensuring equal pay and

benefits for work of equal value, zero-tolerance towards all

forms of violence at work, supporting women with flexible work

arrangements, providing child and dependent care support,

promote women in management level positions and increase

gender balance in the teams. They can achieve this by adopting

the Women’s Empowerment Principles, that are encouraged by

UN Women and UN Global Compact for firms of all sizes in all

sectors.

MSMEs promote innovation, new and small firms are often

the driving force behind the innovations that are

important for economic growth, since they have the liberty

to work outside of dominant paradigms, they are able to

exploit technological and commercial opportunities, which

may have been neglected by existing established

companies. Generally, MSMEs tend to be more flexible

than large companies, making them more likely to adopt

sustainable business practices. MSMEs have to be

incentivized to adopt sustainable business practices.

Regardless of size or industry, all companies can contribute

to the SDGs. The UN Global Compact asks companies to

first do business responsibly and then pursue opportunities

to solve societal challenges through business innovation

and collaboration. Promoting sustainability will offer new

and efficient business opportunities for MSMEs in different

areas such as public procurement, consumer

Consumer information (example eco-labelling,

certification), sustainable tourism, lifestyle education,

retrofitting buildings and construction, and food systems.

The SDGs promote resource-use efficiency and greater

adoption of environment-friendly industrial processes

Currently Network India is running five major initiatives

that includes Target Gender Equality (TGE), SDG

Ambition, Young SDG Innovators, SDG Pioneers and CEO

Water Mandate. These initiatives are focused on

measuring actionable impact and progress by companies

that are members of the UN Global Compact

www.powertalkwitharchanna.com 17


QRoad map to achieve the

SDGs by 2030

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

and the Paris Climate Agreement provide the most powerful

common agenda the world has ever seen for achieving peace

and prosperity on a healthy planet – with an essential role

spelled out for business. The UNGC new global strategy

includes amplifying existing work around the Ten Principles as

well embracing new directions including driving business

action in support of the SDGs – particularly through business

innovation and partnerships with the UN.

To support companies everywhere in advancing the ambitions

of the 2030 Agenda, UNGC has developed a portfolio of

Action Platforms to inspire new and leading approaches to

sustainable business. Rooted in the Ten Principles of the UN

Global Compact, each Action Platform convenes

representatives from business, Global Compact Local

Networks, academia, civil society, Government and the United

Nations to solve complex sustainability challenges and to

innovate around the Global Goals. These action platforms

include reporting the SDG’s, Sustainable finance, decent work

in global supply chain, business ambition for climate, sciencebased

target Initiative and sustainable ocean business

UNGC is also exploring SDG Pioneers, inspiring business to

follow Target Gender Equality and spreading the net to

include Young Social Entrepreneurs.

As the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative, it is

our priority – and indeed our responsibility – to be a leading

catalyst of the transformations ahead. We are devoting our

capacities and global network to make it happen – based on

the Ten Principles that the UN Global Compact is built upon

4Focus areas will include

• Responsible Business

Leadership Practices

Based on our UN General Assembly mandate, we will

strengthen our work to promote UN principles and values to

the global business community

• Global-Local Platform

Connector

As a neutral convener and consensus builder, we will develop

the “Platform of Platforms” – curating the best practices,

tools and initiatives of like-minded organisations to reduce

duplication and increase impact

solve societal challenges

through business innovation

and collaboration

• Impact, Measurement

Performance

We will focus on communicating impact and progress by

business on the Ten Principles and the SDGs, to better

understand the impact of corporate sustainability on

both society and the bottom-line.

• SDGs as the “Lighthouse”

Keeping the Ten Principles as our foundation, we will pivot

towards the SDGs to enable a truly global business

contribution to the 2030 Agenda

QYour Thoughts

Human Rights

Human rights are

basic, indivisible,

non-negotiable and universal

Every person around the world deserves to be treated

with dignity Basic rights include freedom of speech,

privacy, health, life, liberty and security, as well as an

adequate standard of living. While Governments have

the duty to protect individuals against human rights

abuses by third parties, businesses are recognizing their

legal, moral and commercial need to get involved.

Businesses must address any negative human rights

impacts related to their business. They must also abide

by international standards and avoid causing or

contributing to adverse human rights impacts through

their activities and relationships.

Human rights reflect basic human dignity and decency

that a person is entitled to. Human rights protect a

person from discrimination and safeguards their right to

live freely how they want to, to be forced to do

something against one’s will is a breach of ethics and

demeans human spirit. Human rights serve as the

champion of peace, tolerance, justice and mutual

respect in our world.

Sustainability is the best opportunity for business to drive smarter innovation and profitable growth. Corporate image

and public perception is a real economic force that businesses must deal with and manage. Embedding Sustainability into

business is the best way to change the perception of public & build a good corporate image. As per SDG report 2020,

India global rank is 117 th with 61.9 score. Sweden topped with global rank 1 st . This is matter of concern for

India that we slipped two rank below from last year and moving on track in only 4 SDGs (no poverty, clean

water & sanitation, economic growth, climate action) out of 17 SDGs. is on track in only 4 SDGs. It’s time to

address Covid-19 negative impacts on Sustainable Development Goals

2 1

8 3 10

COVID CLEAN-UP The highest priority of every

government must remain the suppression of the pandemic. There

can be no economic recovery while the pandemic is raging. Yet

governments need to plan for the post Covid-19 economy.

Unemployment will remain very high. Jobs lost in many sectors –

retail, office support, construction, tourism, personal services, fossilfuel

energy – will not return, or at least not rapidly and robustly.

Budget deficits and financial imbalances will persist. Many

enterprises will go out of business. Non-government aggregate

demand, including private consumption and investment, will most

likely remain depressed. In the rebuilding phase, governments

should support their economic recovery with a strong focus on

infrastructure investments that boost jobs and underpin the

transition to a low-carbon economy, in line with the Paris

Agreement.

An SDG framework

possible short-term

longer-term responses to Covid-19

Government Response

• Increased role of government in key sectors (economy, health,

food, social security).

• Re-think global supply chains and dependence for strategic

equipment and materials.

• Strengthen government capacities to anticipate and manage

unforeseen disruptive events.

• Strengthen international platforms, exchanges and transparency

among scientists/researchers (open science).

Transformation in Education, Gender, and

Inequality

• Expand and strengthen public social security systems best

suited to address the consequences of disruptive events.

• Further investments in education, digital skills, equity, and

lifelong learning.

• Further streamline basic health prevention measures in school

programs (e.g., hand-washing) and provide adequate supplies

for good hygiene.

• Place women’s needs and leadership at the heart of the

response to the health and economic crises.

Transformation in Health, Wellbeing, and

Demography:

• Strengthen the role of public health and disease prevention and

surveillance (for both communicable and chronic diseases).

• Increase the role of public authorities in the research for

treatment and vaccines, and in providing access to treatment and

vaccines.

• Accelerate efforts to achieve universal health care.

• Strengthen public health emergency preparedness (including

building stocks of essential equipment and increasing flexibility to

mobilize staff to respond to emergencies).

• Reduce dependence on other countries for key

health supplies and equipment.

• Expand digital health solutions (e.g., telehealth)

to reduce the burden on hospitals and increase

access to care.

• Increase the quality and timeliness of health

statistics.

• Increase the resilience of health systems to

respond to shocks/crises (e.g., increase capacity

to build hospitals and other infrastructures in

record time).

Transformation in Energy

Decarbonization and

Sustainable Industry:

• Use the Paris Climate Agreement as the vision

for long-term change and to inform investment

plans and bailouts.

• Build on positive short-term prospects due to

plummeting industrial output and further the roll

out of digital services and e-commerce to

accelerate the transition to climate neutrality.

their living conditions and to make confinement measures more

effective.

• Strengthen the territorial distribution of doctors and

availability of care, including in rural areas.

• Further integrate vulnerable groups in urban settlements,

including homeless people, refugees, and migrants.

• Adapt public transportation systems to the need for physical

distancing and hygiene, and to changing

patterns in working and commuting habits.

• Develop integrated territorial strategies to address the impact

of travel restrictions on business, exports, and tourism activities

Transformation in Harnessing

the Digital Revolution for

Sustainable Development:

• Further expand digital health solutions to reduce

the burden on hospitals and increase access.

• Develop and use online education tools.

• Further development of other digital government

services and e-commerce.

• Further investments in digital skills, equity, and

lifelong learning.

• Accelerate the adoption of measures that

support a fair transition for workers affected by the

digital and technological revolution.

Conclusions

This is matter of concern for India that we slipped

two rank below on Global SDG Rank from last year

It will be important to put the SDGs at the heart of

policymaking. In December 2018, the United

Nations General Assembly declared 2020 as the

International Year of Plant Health (IYPH).This is of

special interest to me as it casts a spotlight on the

Environment and Sustainability function at UPL Ltd.

We believe that without agrochemicals food will

not survive and without food people will not

survive. It has also shown us that we will not be

able to protect ourselves from global pandemics

unless until our health systems strengthened. The

SDG framework suggested in this paper may guide

the immediate post-crisis recovery and frame longterm

strategies towards more resilient and

sustainable societies. I take it as both, a challenge

and an opportunity to guide my team in carrying

out our roles effectively.

Sustainable Development – an Oxymoron?

How can developing nations maintain their economic growth for eradicating persistent poverty, without harming our planet

further? In fact, the goal is to reverse global warming and bring temperature increase to pre-existing levels. Growth without

chimneys? Just two decades ago, one might have thought that this was an inherently contradictory phrase. But it is no longer so.

Global Overview of Development

Let us take a quick look at the way the world has changed in the last 70 plus years, the same period that India has been an

independent nation. The end of the Second World War in 1945 triggered the end of the colonial era and the rise of USA and

USSR as superpowers, overshadowing the once powerful European countries and Japan. The global population in 1950 was

2.50 billion and it currently stands at 7.80 billion, increasing more than threefold during these 70 years. During the same

period, Asian countries led by S. Korea and Taiwan since the 1960s, followed by China since the late 1970s and then by India

since the early 1990s focused on industrialisation, resulting in rapid growth and concomitant decline in poverty across the

developing world. Life expectancy has also increased from 30 years around 1950 to 72 years now, economic more than

doubling in these 70 years. These are good things, without doubt

Global Warming and Climate Change

But just like a coin, there is a flip side to all this growth and development: increasing greenhouse gas emissions, mainly from fossil

fuels like coal, petroleum and natural gas, have trapped all the heat generated by our factories, vehicles, aircraft and even our

Power Talk l Sustainable Profits


cooking. As a result, our planet is getting warmer, slowly but surely, leading to visible climate change effects over the past two

decades. The manifestations of global warming and climate change can be seen in the melting of glaciers, the rise of sea levels

and abnormal weather conditions like unpredictable monsoons. National governments, with a few notable exceptions, have

come together to recognise this as a serious problem for mankind and have pledged to do everything possible to reduce

greenhouse gas emissions, without sacrificing development and the

growth momentum.

The falling tariffs of

electricity from renewable

sources, especially solar,

make renewable energy a

profitable option

Increasing Role of Renewable Energy

in the Global Energy Matrix

“Renewable”energy is not a 21 st century invention by

scientists! Humans have harnessed the power of wind, water and sunlight

from the dawn of civilisation. However, with the advent of the Industrial

Revolution in Western Europe in the mid-18 th century, fossil fuels

dominated our energy matrix in all our needs, whether at an individual

level, or at the community level. But over the past two decades, the

increasing awareness of the harmful effects of fossil fuel use to accelerate

economic development has forced mankind to go back to the drawing

board and devise ways to harness energy from wind, water and sun

without harming the planet.

Over the past decade alone, the share of renewable sources of energy

in the global energy basket has grown from a mere 5% to a noticeable

15%. During the same period, in India, it grew from a moderate 9% to

a significant level of 24%. Two conclusions can be drawn from this

data: the world has finally woken up to the reality of climate change

due to the widespread use of fossil fuels and has started adopting

renewable sources of energy. At the same time, India is ahead of the

globe in its awareness and has given an appropriate response. In fact,

the Indian government has fixed an ambitious target of 175 Giga Watts

of renewable energy by 2022 and 450 GW by 2030. Hon’ble Prime

Minister of India Mr Narendra Modi has been a champion of

renewable energy and this has led to this rapid growth with ambitious

targets. His vision of “One Sun, One World, One Grid” places India at a

leadership position in the context of increasing adoption of renewable

energy in all our activities, whether at an individual level or at a

community or even national level. It must be noted that this increasing

emphasis on renewable energy to run our cars, buses and trains, our

factories and homes does not imply a slowing down in our ambitious

economic growth plans. The falling tariffs of electricity from renewable

sources, especially solar, make renewable energy a profitable option

too.

In fact, Mr Sumant Sinha, the Founder and Chairman of the company (ReNew Power Pvt Ltd) that I currently work for, has

visualised a world free of fossil fuels in his recently published book “Fossil Free”, in which he has articulated this strongly &

practically

The bottom line is:

Mr. Joe Phelan

India Director

World Business Council for

Sustainable Development

Our current economic systems are based on linear value chains that depend on a continuous and increasing extraction of

raw materials. Over 92 billion tonnes of raw materials required to fuel our economies are extracted from earth, processed,

used, and then discarded. Currently, only 9 billion tonnes of raw material—an equivalent of 9% of total material extracted is

cycled back into the economy. This is massively inefficient, and impossible to sustain..

Our linear systems have caused significant impacts on

biodiversity, ecosystem services, and climate. A total of 62%

of global greenhouse gas emissions are emitted during

material extraction and processing, and the trend is

increasing. To reach the 1.5°C target of the Paris Agreement,

we need to ensure net zero emissions by 2050. To reduce

carbon emissions and enable sustainable production cycles,

we need to act with urgency and move away from the

traditional “take-make-waste” economic model toward one

that is regenerative by design. Despite increasing awareness

of circularity as a concept, the levels of circularity in the

economy are falling - dropping by 0.25% points over the last

two years

GOAL is to retain as much value as possible from

resources, products, parts, and materials to create a system

that allows for long life, optimal reuse, refurbishment,

remanufacturing, and recycling: a Circular Economy.

Circular economy can deliver

Swachh Bharat

Implementing circular economy principles is crucial for a

country like India from a development perspective as well as to

deliver Swachh Bharat. The Government of India has put a big

focus on resource efficiency to support the country’s

development

Power Talk l Sustainable Profits


Business can deliver

circularity

The World Business Council for Sustainable Development

(WBCSD) is a CEO-led coalition of over 200 leading

multinational businesses across multiple sectors, including

some of India's major corporate houses, who work

together to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable

world. Together, we develop transformational business

solutions to the most challenging issues, delivering results

that no single company could achieve alone. This aspect of

collaboration and collective action is central to the work

we do.

Businesses have a responsibility to act, and opportunities in

doing so. To support the circular change, WBCSD proposes that

companies transform their value chains into true value cycles

through five steps:

and economic growth. A circular economy development path

in India has the potential to create an estimated value of INR

14 lakh crore (US$ 218 billion) in 2030 and INR 40 lakh crore

(US$ 624 billion) in 2050 compared with the current

scenario. Additionally, it has the potential to significantly

lower GHG emissions and help India deliver on the Paris

agreement.

Adopting circular economy principles can help tackle the

problem of waste, especially plastic waste in India. India

generates between 25,000 and 30,000 tonnes of plastic

waste daily and, while recycling is higher than the global

average, about 10,500 thousand tonnes of that waste

remains uncollected, reaching our streets and rivers. With

the demand for plastics expected to rise in the next 20 years,

this problem calls for urgent intervention. Additionally,

growing societal pressure to adopt circular economy

principles, and policy frameworks such as the Extended

Producer Responsibility (EPR) puts the responsibility on

producers and brand owners to mitigate plastic waste.

• Design and innovation: Apply circular ideas or technologies

when developing new products

• Growing, development and sourcing: Use innovative

technologies to develop materials and product ingredients

with less resources, energy, and chemicals.

• Processing and production: Enable production of goods

with fewer resources, lower emissions and based on

renewable sources.

• Use: Allow increasing the life span of a product, repurpose

used products and move away from traditional ownership

to service models.

• Recycling and recovery: Repurpose waste from one

product to feed into the production of another fully

functional product of similar or higher value.

Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic presents opportunities

for the circular economy. As global supply chains are under

pressure, sourcing locally produced renewable materials as

opposed to globally sourced non-renewable materials has

become more favourable, and the pressure to “build

forward better” is incentivizing companies to make changes.

Increasingly, businesses across the world are taking steps

towards sustainability and applying circular economy

principles to their operations.

WBCSD supports its member companies in taking action to

further the circular economy, within their businesses and in

partnership with others in several areas. Our Circular

Economy Program offers three projects from the crossindustry

platform of Factor10 to the value -chain specific

work on plastics and packaging and the Circular Electronics

Partnership. This work complements other business

initiatives such as the Alliance to End Plastic Waste, Plastics

Pact and the Global Plastic Action Partnership.

Getting started

The best way for companies to begin is to understand how

circular their business is today, and where the greatest

opportunities for value recovery lie.

Mentoring for

Sustainable

Leadership

“Mentorship is not about age or title, it’s about action. It’s not about pushing wisdom down from the

top down or bottom up, it’s about sharing wisdom all around. A moment of mentorship can lead to a

lifetime of impact.” Forbes

Throughout my career I have been very fortunate

in having some great mentors, who have helped me in many

ways. Steve Kaufman, ex-CEO of Arrow Electronics and now a

Harvard Business School Professor, who played a huge part

in helping develop my business skills. Sir Peter Gershon, my

amazing Chairman at Premier Farnell and former Chairman

at National Grid, for his learnings, and the exceptional Sir

Roger Carr, Chairman at BAE Systems, for his support during

my board tenure. I name here just a few, I have been blessed

with many wise and trusted advisors.

,

I have tried, in return, to be an active mentor for individuals,

and a coach for businesses of all shapes and sizes. I believe

mentoring is key to evolving in one’s personal and

professional journey.

As leaders it is important that we learn from those who are

different from us in age, profession, interests and ways of

thinking. Cross-generational and cross-dimensional learning

is vital to our growth personally and professionally and is one

of the best examples I can think of being truly diverse and

totally inclusive – it’s a great way to learn about the many

similarities and differences between us and helps us

acknowledge, appreciate and celebrate the uniqueness in

each other. and ideas – unexpected inputs from totally

different perspectives – perspectives I wouldn’t have

thought of or connected with otherwise. These have helped

me make better business decisions, listen more intently to

my teams and act with greater agility.

Values I admire from my various mutual mentoring sessions

are how much everyone appreciates and admires honesty,

responsiveness and being genuinely interested as well as

interesting – being authentic to oneself and others without

trying too hard

Mentoring is an act that is not time or age bound and can be

limitless – there is no saying how long one can mentor or be

mentored – it can be a lifelong association and learning

experience and can be truly rewarding if based on mutual

respect, understanding and supported by an insatiable

appetite to learn, trusted and wise mentor is not a simple

task – it’s a challenge that requires us to push ourselves

every day to be relevant and authentic to develop a genuine

interest in seeing others grow and dedication and

commitment to see it through to the end. It

Power Talk l Sustainable Profits


A real passion for listening and

supporting the development of

others enables great learning

for ourselves ..such great

inputs and advise mutually

shared are a gift for both

parties

requires us to develop a balanced mix of direction, training,

support and motivation. It also involves a number of key life

skills, including active listening, active asking and a growth

mindset. You can find more about these topics on my website,

www.harrietgreen.com

3Top Mentoring Tips

• Consider who you would your mentor to be and just ask

them! If you would like to be a mentor, offer your services in a

LinkedIn post and respond enthusiastically when asked!

• Take a little personal risk in all this. Remember, 100% of the

shots you don’t take definitely don’t go in… so go take your

mentoring shot.

• Being an active mentor contributes to you being a better

hirer, developer of people and winner in the war for talent.

The Gift of Feedback

Many times, throughout my leadership career, I have used a

mirror-holding approach to help talented direct reports and

aspiring leaders to look into and see aspiring leaders to look into

and see themselves at work; it is also incredibly useful for both

mentor and mentee. Instead of telling colleagues or mentees

what I perceive as their areas of strengths and development

areas , I engage in questions dialogue to help them better

understand their work through examples, letting

them chart their journey of improvement. In this excellent

Harvard Business Review article, entitled ‘Good Feedback

Is a Two-Way Conversation, Joe Hirsch beautifully frames

this concept using ‘’Hero Questions”

https://hbr.org/2020/06/good-feedback-is-a-two-wayconversation

. His questions include

• Tell me about a time this month you felt energised?

• What have you learned about yourself from working on

this project?

• What strengths have you found most useful on this

project?

• Who have you recently helped, and what difference

did it make in their work and yours?

I find that the best feedback comes when we give and

receive to help understand our strengths and provide

encouragement and guidance to build upon those

strengths.

The mirror-holding approach and the dialogue that

ensues can be extraordinarily impactful in creating

transformational and sustainable change in leaders –

it did for me!

GREEN

HEALTHCARE

While most industries look at sustainable marketing from an environmental and ensuring a better life for the future generation

point of view, the approach to this in healthcare is somewhat different. Healthcare marketing being an ethical business activity,

here sustainability is more in line with societal marketing – since education and healthcare are the building blocks of

humanity, hence the focus is much more on a health here and now, and rightly so, since that leads to healthy future

generations.

Power Talk l Sustainable Profits


Sustainable marketing in healthcare thus focuses on how the

society that it serves can benefit from strong societal marketing

practices. There are three key aspects to sustainable marketing

in healthcare

Ensuring that healthcare is

available to all

Ensuring that the benefits of healthcare reach

the entire population

Mr. Sumanta Ray

2012- PRESENT

Group Chief Marketing Officer

Narayana Healthcare

This is probably the most important attribute where access to treatment is dissociated from affluence, so that people are

able to avail treatment irrespective of their financial status, and thereby save lives. There are multiple ways different

healthcare providers do this, and thereby use their own forms of sustainable or societal marketing. Some examples of

these are:

• Countries like UK & many other European nations make it available free of cost as a fundamental facility to their citizens

• Many government schemes like Ayushman Bharat in India provide free or subsidized treatment in both government

and private hospitals

• Insurance also provides an accessible pathway to avail healthcare at a fraction of their cost

Ensuring that healthcare is accessible to all

This is another key area where healthcare marketing tries to bring in access to healthcare to people by eliminating the distance

between the doctor and the patient. Historically, large healthcare facilities tend to be concentrated in a few urban

agglomerations, while patients are located all around the country and hinterland. This gap is bridged by various kinds of societal

marketing practices, some of which are detailed below:

• Conducting large scale healthcare camps all across the hinterland by bringing in doctors and other key healthcare facilities on

a temporary basis to reach out to people in their own localities, so they don’t have to travel far & wide for their healthcare

needs

• Using technology like telemedicine, video consultation and other remote mediums of connectivity to bring the

healthcare facilities to the people in a virtual mode

Another area of sustainable marketing in healthcare is the sheer amount of collaboration amongst organisations, government

and other key stakeholders to ensure that the benefits of healthcare reach everyone at the fastest speed possible. A classic

example is the current pandemic – once the genetic code of the virus was published by China in mid-January, there has been

unprecedented global collaboration to build a vaccine, so much so that a few have already been developed with another

hundred just around the corner. This vaccine development in less than a year’s time when it normally takes 4-10 years to

develop a vaccine was mainly possible through huge global collaboration between all healthcare stakeholders, thereby ensure

a sustainable virus free future for mankind.

Thus, sustainable marketing is a way of life in healthcare striving to bring the benefits of healthcare to the citizens of our

planet and ensuring the sustainable continuity of our human species for millennia to come.
