Fr om h um an pe rs pe ct iv e, I do agree with Ms. Bhairavi that we need to bring in change in the ways we think about planet and be committed toward its betterment in whatever mannerwecan.

From Business perspective, ESG is very crucial for there are two aspects attached to it. Firstly Shipping and Logistics industry accounts for the 60% of carbon emission and secondly we have the highest number of employment. So we have a big social obligation of giving back to the mother earth from where weaccruesomuch.

ESG is basically three pillars of Sustainability. The objective of these three pillars or the “P’s” are Planet, People and Profit. Maximising efficiency from these three “P’s”,theobjectiveofbeingsociallyresponsible should be at forefront. One can understand fromthissentence– “COWGOESCEBO”
