| | Malini Mehra featured on Business Standard - Kanika Datta |
India Inc has been passive and reactive on climate change. Climate Challenge India, a climate change mobilisation effort by Bangalore-based NGO Center for Social Markets (CSM) has produced a film titled In Good Company: Corporate India and the Climate Challenge that partly tries to answer the question but also raises some red flags on the issue. The 54-minute film succinctly explores the key issues surrounding the climate change debate but mostly focuses on how businesses view the agenda and what they are doing. The “usual suspects” are to be found – ITC’s Yogi Deveshwar, Tata group’s J J Irani, Mahindra’s Anand Mahindra, Godrej group’s Jamshyd Godrej – but so are a host of smaller eco-preneurs with inspirational stories.
