About the event

Board Stewardship is organising a day-long event “Boards as Stewards of Sustainability” at the iconic BSE building at Fort in Mumbai. The rising BSE Sensex reflects the rising confidence of Indian masses in our conglomerates. It is their faith in the governance standards of Corporate India that has led to the domestic inflows into the equity market exceeding foreign flows in recent years. The Boards as Stewards are looking beyond financial performance and serving the interests of various stakeholders, including society at large. During the event, we are also presenting a Research Report led by Stewardship Asia Centre, Singapore, in partnership with Board Stewardship and 12 APAC Region Corporate Governance Institutes. The theme will be discussed across different sessions with reputed experts invited from across the globe. This landmark event presents a rare opportunity for the existing and aspiring Board Directors and CXOs to gain a global perspective on sustainability practices.
