1630hrs Parallel session 2Sustainability in Retail

Sustainability has become a core consideration for players in the retail industry, as there is an increasing demand from consumers for sustainable products. The customer preference for products that are certified eco-friendly is also increasing. Many “product labels” today disclose carbon footprint of the product. Setting and achieving environmental and social goals in the retail industry requires considerable resources and expertise. Retailers need to identify what is the value proposition to their consumers when it comes to buying sustainable products, not just in terms of competitive cost or good quality but also the responsible value chain. This session will look at the trends, initiatives and best practices undertaken across the sector to attain a sustainable business model.

1200hrs Plenary IVIntegrated Reporting

With the increasingly complex factors that businesses have to contend with, such as globalization, societal expectations and regulatory interventions, existing forms of corporate reporting are perhaps not adequately and accurately portraying the nature of their operations. Integrated Reporting is a new corporate reporting model designed to fill this gap by building on existing financial and sustainability reporting models, and enhancing them to provide a more accurate picture of an organization’s operating context and its performance. Integrated Thinking is the term given for integrating sustainability and value creation elements in an organization’s strategy, governance and business model. The Integrated Report is the external communication that discloses how this Integrated Thinking approach and performance of an organization creates value in the short, medium and long term. This session will focus on the importance and necessity of Integrated Reporting in today’s business environment as well as the roles of different stakeholders in creating an environment that will support its widespread adoption by business.

1430hrs Parallel Session 1How India Innovates

In today’s scenario of global uncertainty and challenges related to sustainability, innovation is critical for the future success of any business. In order to add value and have a long term impact for the business and its stakeholders, emphasis must be given to developing sustainable and inclusive solutions. The innovations should not only be limited to finding solutions for the conventional markets but also consider people at the bottom-of-pyramid. These solutions should be affordable and of high quality. The session will be based on the Innovation Study 2013 which the CII-ITC Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Development conducted to capture the innovation capabilities of Indian companies. The panelist will discuss how businesses in India foster innovations that lead to solutions thus addressing the challenges of sustainability.
