Background

In the last two decades increased awareness about environmental degradation, global

warming, climate change, and socio-economic implications of ever-increasing corporate power

have brought about a radical shiftin business paradigm in India. Evolution of voluntary norms

and proactive steps taken by some industry associations have brought Sustainability agenda to

the fore front of business strategy and businesses are increasingly aligning their vision with

national and global Sustainable Development objectives. Increased pace of industrialization all

over the world, and especially in the developing countries, has resulted in unprecedented

demand for natural resources, most of which are non-renewable in nature. It is a matter of

concern that in the name of industrial development, communities dependent on these

resources are being deprived of their only source of livelihood.

In the changed business environment, businesses have to deal with a wide range of

stakeholders that have dynamically evolving,diverse, and oftentimes, conflicting demands and

expectations from businesses. This complicates the business managers job and heightens the

need to understand and appreciate the expectations of all their stakeholders and behave in a

socially responsible manner. At the same time, Indian public policies too are undergoing

radical transformations to meet the changing developmental needs of the country, including

that of the businesses. To run their businesses in a sustainable manner, managers would also

need to keep abreast of transformations in the regulatory frameworks and keep in line with

policy requirements.

Achieving growth and prosperity without adding to the stress on global environment is a

critical issue facing todays business and society. Sustainability issues are dictating corporate

decisions and there is a demand for MBA graduates who understand how to incorporate such

issues into the decision making process. As companies try to understand, evaluate and take

action on issues that can affect their triple bottom line, they are now seeking qualified
