ITC has implemented numerous corporate social responsibility initiatives that contribute to the triple bottom line of people, planet, and profit. Some of their key initiatives include:
1) The e-Choupal program which provides digital infrastructure and market access to over 4 million farmers, improving their livelihoods.
2) Social and farm forestry programs have greened over 125,000 hectares of land, creating over 56 million days of employment.
3) Watershed development projects have irrigated over 90,000 hectares of dryland.
4) Programs empowering women through self-help groups and microenterprises have economically benefited nearly 40,000 women.
1) The linear economy model of produce, use, dispose, and pollute is unsustainable due to rising population, increased resource use, decreasing product lifecycles, consumption outpacing resource regeneration, and growing waste.
2) A circular economy aims to eliminate waste and pollution, keep products and materials in use, and regenerate natural systems through strategies like maintenance and sharing, reuse and redesign, refurbishment and remanufacturing, recycling, and cascading materials to different uses.
3) A circular economy distinguishes between technical and biological cycles and redefines consumerism as access over ownership, promising resource savings, job growth, and economic growth through increased circulation of materials and products.
ITC endeavors to minimize its environmental impact through initiatives like being carbon positive by sequestering 85.6% of emissions, being water positive with zero water discharge, and building the 170,000 sq ft ITC Green Centre which has a 30% smaller carbon footprint than similar buildings. ITC Green Centre annually saves Rs. 9 million and 15% in energy costs compared to a normal building of similar size due to sustainable design and technologies. ITC is among the most valuable and best big companies in India and the world according to Forbes, and contributes over Rs. 6600 crore annually in taxes.
LEED India + Case Study : CII Sohrabji Godrej, ITC Green Centerbaburajiv2007
This document provides an overview of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system in India. It describes LEED India as an adaptation of the international LEED green building rating system administered locally by the Indian Green Building Council. The document outlines the main environmental categories of LEED certification including sustainable site selection, water efficiency, energy use, materials selection, and indoor environmental quality. It provides examples of LEED certified projects in India and describes various credits within each category that projects can pursue for certification.
The document discusses how agile principles and mindsets can be applied to help drive sustainability transformations. It argues that agile approaches can help impact key dimensions like processes, products/services, organizational culture, and ecosystems. Specific agile tools and techniques like lean, value stream mapping, and empiricism are highlighted as being useful for addressing challenges like waste reduction, collaboration, and sensing weak signals. The document calls for injecting sustainability into everything agilists do and leading by example in helping achieve environmental goals.
There is an increased global
awareness that a modern
economy cannot reach its full
potential without nurturing the
innovation of its entrepreneurs,
and that realization enhances
the prospects for venture capital.
I am very passionate about using investment strategies combined with leveraging political and
corporate support to create radical social transformation and new markets in the developing world.
Since past year I have been compiling a set of ideas that IF implemented with the right
partnerships - can turnaround the fate of any developing country.
Please note that in this document we take the example of Pakistan. However the thesis underlying
the suggestions embedded in this document holds true in the author's opinion for other
developing countries/regions as well. Some of the ideas listed here are inspired from my work of
consulting governments and large corporations across LatAm and China. In my years of being an
investor in the U.S venture capital industry, I have had the privilege to meet entrepreneurs, Venture
Capitalists, innovation thought leaders etc. from 50+ countries (Germany, UK, Israel, India,
Singapore,Turkey, France, China, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Iran, etc. etc.). I can safely conclude that the
secret recipe to the success of U.S. economy and military might lies, to a major credit, in the
thought leadership and effective capital market of venture capital. Most smart countries I have
worked with have figured out tailored cross border investment strategies to be involved in the U.S
innovation ecosystem. Developing countries can learn from some these examples and replicate to
achieve great outcomes
Ellen mac arthur foundation towards the circular economy vol.2Glenn Klith Andersen
This report examines the economic opportunities of transitioning from a linear "take-make-dispose" model of production and consumption to a circular economy model, with a focus on fast-moving consumer goods. It finds that a circular economy approach could generate hundreds of billions in material savings annually by recovering more value from resources through reuse and regeneration. Specific opportunities identified include generating $1.5 billion from food waste collection and $1.9-2 billion from cascading beverage processing waste to other industries. Transitioning to reusable packaging like glass bottles could also reduce costs. The report argues that companies adopting circular business models will be rewarded as resource constraints increase pressures on the linear economy.
The document discusses the concept of a circular economy. It defines a circular economy as an alternative to a linear economy where resources are kept in use for as long as possible, the maximum value is extracted from them while in use, then products and materials are recovered and regenerated at the end of use.
It provides characteristics of a circular economy, including that waste is designed out, diversity provides flexibility, sustainable energy sources power the economy, and full costs are reflected in pricing. Examples are given of companies implementing circular economy practices, such as Veolia reusing materials and Dell using recycled materials. The conclusion states that while the circular economy faces challenges, economies are gradually becoming more circular in terms of both production and consumption.
Agroamerica is a palm oil and banana producer committed to sustainable practices like precision agriculture, carbon capture, clean energy, and recycling. These practices improve yields while reducing environmental impacts like water and resource usage. However, the market does not always recognize or incentivize these sustainable efforts. All stakeholders, including businesses, governments, and international organizations, must work together to promote sustainability, develop green economies, and ensure sustainable products receive fair prices.

Activos inteligentes: Liberando el potencial de la economía circularItziar Ruiz Mendiola
En 2020 habrá entre 25 y 50 billones (con b) de aparatos electrónicos conectados. Hoy en día existen 10 billones. Este Internet de las Cosas (Internet of the Things, IoT) ofrece oportunidades por valor de un trillón de dólares, y provocará mejoras en la producción y los procesos de distribución, pero, lo que es más importante, provocará un cambio significativo en el modo en el que se utilizan los productos. La transformación digital tiene el poder para redefinir las bases mismas de la economía basada en el consumo de materiales. Frente a este modelo, surge otro donde la conectividad es una nueva infraestructura que puede dar lugar a la Era de la Economía Circular.
Así se refleja este informe elaborado por Ellen MacArthur Foundation en colaboración con World Economic Forum y que ha contado con la participación de más de 30 organizaciones, entre las que figura Innobasque. El trabajo pone el acento en cómo acelerar innovaciones impulsadas por el mercado y ayudar a escalar la economía circular. Se focaliza en explicar cuáles son los facilitadores de esta economía circular, como las tecnologías digitales, que son demasiado grandes o complejas para ser superadas por un solo negocio, ciudad, gobierno o individuo.

Do you think that the lifestyle of the inhabitants of your town or city reflects behavior that is in line with the concept of sustainable development? In your opinion, what should be improved?
Net Zero Pakistan launches a project called BioVentures that aims to establish a large-scale biomass supply chain in Pakistan. Currently 3.6-5 million tonnes of crop residues are burned in fields annually, while industries struggle to find alternatives to coal and gas. BioVentures will create a centralized facility to procure biomass from crop waste like rice husk and wheat straw to supply industries, replacing carbon-intensive fuels. An initial $100,000 investment will fund a feasibility study to assess the technical and commercial viability, with the goal of reducing emissions by 15 million tonnes over 10 years.
