Abstract

Businesses today are facing multiple challenges not only in maintaining its current position but also surviving in the downturn of economy. The survival depends upon the continued demand from the society, continuous supply of the resources from the environment to feed the emerging demand and ability to remain solvent financially by managing the business processes efficiently and effectively. In order to sustain themselves in the long run, organizations must, therefore, strive to achieve better performance across the three dimensions of the Triple Bottom Line. This study provides a snapshot and comparison of the performance of 150 Indian companies, their corporate sustainability initiatives undertaken across different industry sectors, their turnover, listing on BSE, their timely alertness in appointing the post of sustainability officer, their environmental awareness in acquiring sustainability related certifications and disclosing the relevant information under sustainability reporting practices by them.
