Answer:
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) targets are increasing. And external pressures to do so are broad based, but firms feel it most from consumers, government, and supply chain partners.
The vast majority of companies expect sustainability performance to boost sales (86%). While a plurality of businesses (41%) expect increased growth of up to 5% over the next year, for a sizeable minority the opportunity is far greater. More than a quarter (28%) expect sustainability to boost growth by between 5% and 10%; and one in six (17%) expect increased growth in excess of 10%.
Larger companies expect the greatest increases, as do companies in South America, the Middle East and North Africa. Firms in these regions also anticipate sustainability will help attract investment.
In terms of sectors, natural resource intensive industries such as agriculture and mining companies see the highest growth benefits. Whereas the automotive sector has the lowest expectations.
Answer:
State Green Mission : The Government of Sikkim in 2006 launched a unique and innovative programme called “State Green Mission” for raising avenue plantations along the roads and beautification of all vacant and waste lands to further reinforce wide spread recognition of Sikkim being a Green State.
Ten Minutes to Earth: Ten Minutes to Earth is another novel, unique and innovative programme conceptualized and initiated by the Chief Minister during 2009 in which the 25th day of June every year from 10.30 AM to 10.40 AM is observed by every citizen of the State by dedicating ten minutes of their time in plantation, protection and conservation of Mother Earth.
Paryavaran Mahotsav: Announced by the Chief Minister Shri Pawan Chamling in 2013 Paryavaran Mahotsav is a people’s programme observed throughout the State from 15th to 30th June every year. The State Green Mission and Ten Minutes to Earth have now become part of Paryavaran Mahotsav which is to be celebrated every year by all in the State. Cleanliness drives are also organized during this period to clean up our towns and cities.
Smritivan: The Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Pawan Chamling evolved the concept of Smritivan in year 1999 with a noble idea of planting trees in memory of near and dear ones. Smritivan is a mass voluntary effort to generate active involvement of the people in planting trees in the drive for Green Sikkim. The objective of this scheme is to create Smritivan in every gram panchayat unit.
Mith Trees: In order to promote and revive the age-old tradition of forging brotherhood relationship with trees, the State Government has notified Sikkim Forest Trees (Amity and Reverence) Rules, 2017 that allows any person to associate with trees standing on his or her private land or on any public land by entering into a Mith/Mitor Mitinirelationship with a tree or trees, in which case, the tree shall be called a ‘Mith/Mit tree’; or by adopting a tree as if it was his or her own child in which case the tree shall be called an ‘Adopted tree’; or by preserving a tree in remembrance of a departed relative in which case the tree shall be called a ‘Smriti tree’.
