This special Business Today issue, featuring the BT CareEdge Study on India's Most Sustainable Companies, marks a landmark moment as we go beyond rhetoric to spotlight India Inc.’s most transformative sustainability journeys. The issue is accompanied by the inaugural edition of BT India’s Most Sustainable Companies 2025 Summit and Awards, an effort to recognise companies that have demonstrated exemplary commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles. Paired with a rigorous, data-driven recognition of India's most sustainable companies across high-impact sectors, this edition is both a celebration and a call to action. Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) won the Climate Leadership Award while Tata Steel bagged the Special Jury Award in Sustainability Leadership at BT India's Most Sustainable Companies Awards 2025. The full list of winners showcases how sustainability is no longer optional, it is central to continuity, competitiveness, and capital flow. The opening essay traces how industry giants like the Aditya Birla Group, Tata Group, and Reliance Industries are not just responding to climate realities, they’re shaping them. With net-zero targets, integrated ESG data systems, and sector-specific transitions, these corporations are redefining leadership in a resource-constrained world. From resilience in the face of climate shocks to future-facing investments in clean energy, this issue captures how top conglomerates are hardwiring ESG into strategy, risk frameworks, and capital allocation.
