IGCC SustainMarkets was at the Sustainable Supply Chains India hosted by NürnbergMesse GmbH as we shared a thoughtful discussion with: ▶ Nusrat Khan - Business and Human Rights National Specialist, UNDP in India, ▶ Hemendra Mathur - Venture Partner, Bharat Innovation Fund, and ▶ Rishi Sher Singh - CEO, World of Gears in the panel discussion "Sustainability due diligence - Human and Corporate", moderated by Sonia Prashar. Indras Ghosh, Head, IGCC SustainMarkets, highlighted the need for greater collaboration with MSMEs in India to implement human rights due diligence processes. A few takeaways during the panel discussion: ✔ There is a growing business requirement for corporate human rights due diligence in India, Germany and across the world, stemming from commitment toward the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. ✔ The German Supply Chain Act slowly affected Indian MSMEs that are a part of the global supply chain. Similarly, India's BRSR framework has slowly changed how investors look at ESG disclosures. ✔ There is a symbiotic relationship between large companies and their suppliers to implement effective corporate due diligence, rather than a top-down approach. ✔ India's vibrant start-up and MSMEs ecosystem is teeming with innovative ideas and practices that can show the way as the global business community navigates the uncertain corporate due diligence implementation. ✔ In light of the rapid development of corporate due diligence frameworks across the world, early adopter companies can covert it as a competitive advantage. Companies need to go beyond compliance to safeguard human rights in business activities to remain competitive. #LkSG #DueDiligence #Sustainability #SupplyChain #FutureForward #sustainablesupplychainsindia 

These days in panel discussions, when speakers talk to the audience who are engrossed in their phones (I do it too sometimes), it's rare sight to see a session where the audience doesn't look at their phones even once, ask for more & the organisers continue the session for some more time. The reaction to the talk ' After the International Year of Millets - Cultivating Sustainable Supply Chain for the future as part of Sustainable Supply Chains India conference was amazing. I really enjoyed the session and was happy to be on stage with: Shri Charanjit Singh, Additional Secretary, National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM), Ministry of Rural Development Shri Rajiv Kumar Ahuja, Senior Advisor GIZ Shri Tarun Bajaj, Director, APEDA My friend Mrs. Pallavi Upadhyaya, Founder, Millets for Health Mr. Manoj Menon, Executive Director, ICCOA (International Competence Centre for Organic Agriculture) Sustainable Supply Chains India | GIZ India | NürnbergMesse India Pvt.

Excited to have been part of Sustainable Supply Chains India (SSCI) conference at The Imperial, New Delhi. As a disaster management student, engaging in discussions on integrating sustainability into supply chain management is crucial.

Sustainability plays a transformative role plays in manufacturing. Attending the Sustainable Supply Chains India event as the President of Association of Furniture Manufacturers & Traders (INDIA) AFMT's North India chapter, and witnessing SSCI's commitment to establishing trust in sustainability standards was enlightening. Sustainable Supply Chains India's dedication to benchmarking against their Social and Scheme Management Criteria fosters global alignment among auditing and certification schemes. This crucial initiative empowers companies in their supply chain due diligence, driving them towards higher sustainability standards and robust governance mechanisms. In the manufacturing sector, SSCI's efforts are invaluable. By signaling their commitment to these standards, schemes pave the way for an industry-wide shift towards sustainability. This not only builds trust but also sets a precedent for responsible practices that benefit businesses, society, and the environment. SSCI's impact resonates deeply, inspiring a more conscientious approach to manufacturing. #Sustainability #Manufacturing #SupplyChain #SustainableSupplyChains #SSCI #SustainableStandards #Auditing #Certification #Governance #IndustryShift #ResponsiblePractices #EnvironmentalImpact #ConscientiousManufacturing #AFMT
