About ‘India and Sustainability Standards’
‘India and Sustainability Standards: International Dialogues and Conference’, is the annual flagship conference of the Centre for Responsible Business (CRB). ISS 2021 convenes international and Indian businesses, policymakers and other stakeholders to discuss, deliberate and develop roadmaps across key sustainability issues and industry sectors – in supporting the momentum towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
India and Sustainability Standards: International Dialogues and Conference (ISS) was conceptualized as a dialogue platform by CRB in 2012. ISS has received continued and overwhelming support and encouragement from Indian and international partners, standard setters, large companies, micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), civil society supporters, policymakers, government agencies, media and its diverse participants. Through its dedicated engagement, ISS has evolved into a truly international multi-stakeholder dialogue platform.

CRB believes in the value of sustainable business principles for future oriented and purpose driven businesses. These principles must ultimately inform their strategies and operations to align with the Sustainability Agenda.
In the eighth edition of ISS, our endeavor is to bring together a diverse set of stakeholders to facilitate a discussion on the opportunities and challenges of adopting transformative pathways for societal resilience.
