India faces major climate change risks, such as changing weather patterns, altered rainfall, drought and more. These impacts pose huge implications for businesses, their value chains and their financial performance.

Transitioning to a low-carbon economy presents a unique opportunity to build a stronger, competitive and sustainable future. India’s companies will need to develop innovative, low-carbon approaches that benefit the planet and their own bottom lines.

WRI India helps the private sector adopt strategies that support sustainable development while driving growth. We forge partnerships with dozens of leading businesses throughout the country. Through our India Greenhouse Gas Program, we develop measurement and reporting tools and guidance that help corporations calculate and reduce emissions in their own operations and throughout their value chains. And we promote best practices that integrate environmental sustainability across operations, products and services.
