FICCI, HUL Partner to Set Up ‘Centre for Sustainability Leadership’ - News

The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), an Indian non-governmental trade association and advocacy group, recently announced the establishment of the Centre for Sustainability Leadership, with consumer goods company Hindustan Unilever Ltd (HUL) as a founding member. 
The Centre’s mission is to institutionalize sustainability leadership among FICCI members, with a special emphasis on decarbonization, green entrepreneurship, and nature-based solutions, as well as to assist small and medium enterprises (SMEs), start-ups, and major corporations in their sustainability journey.
In accordance with the Government’s ‘Mission LiFE’ mantra, the Centre will also seek to promote sustainable consumption and a circular economy. Recognizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision that ‘Lifestyle for Environment’ must become a mass movement, the Centre will assist companies in adopting pathways that promote sustainable consumption, sustainable production, and sustainable lifestyle, as well as facilitate training programs, expert workshops, and offer bespoke climate action solutions, and will also assist companies in complying with enhanced reporting and disclosure obligations on Environmental, Social, and Governance issues.
