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

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

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
large companies, cost

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

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.

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.

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!

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.
