“While net zero targets are much needed, a company’s sustainability initiatives must be aligned with the nation’s sustainability goals. One must recognize that India has already demonstrated its commitment through the bold stand taken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi since the 2015 COP21 summit and India has emerged as one of the most responsible major nations in the world when it comes to addressing climate change. However, at the heart of any nation’s sustainability journey lies the principle of equitable growth, and a net zero number unaligned with a nation’s development agenda may end up creating greater disequilibrium across the global sustainability initiatives. We are putting money where our mouth is, and the portfolio companies of Adani are leading the way with investment plans to honour the nation’s commitment.”
Gautam Adani said this while speaking to business leaders on the sidelines of the UK’s Global Investment Summit. Organized by the UK government, the Global Investment Summit was held on October 19, 2021, at the Science Museum, London. It featured Prime Minister Boris Johnson, members of the royal family, British MPs, technologists and global investors.
