Here are ESG and Sustainability Quotes by Kumar Mangalam Birla, Chairman, Aditya Birla Group:
While embedding the ESG metrics into our strategies and operations, we consider four dimensions – sectoral uniqueness, geographies of operation, stakeholder expectations across the value chain, and time horizon. This means that we scrupulously map our ESG imperatives according to existing realities in each market and the functioning and demands of each business.
This is done by prioritising the material aspects across time horizons and stakeholder expectations and, finally, developing sustainable business strategies with time‑based targets and annual action plans which are measurable and can be monitored to future proof our businesses.
The implementation of our sustainability strategy and the embedding of the ESG parameters in our organisation is undergirded by five cardinal principles that we adhere to.
The first is transparency and trust, which forms the bedrock of our relationship with our stakeholders.
The second principle is responsible resource utilisation, which guides our use of critical resources and leans us towards circularity.
The third principle is Zero Harm, which underlines our people culture and safety practices.
The fourth is sustainability, which is an integral part of our value creation.
And the fifth is collaboration and synergy, which predisposes us towards collaborating with like‑minded partners to increase the value for the entire ecosystem.
