As nations commit to Net-Zero targets at COP27, a new strategic ESG certification for business leaders has been launched by NDTV, TERI, and Zenora.

The certification programme will offer executive education to transform sustainable compliance into a competitive advantage for businesses. The first of its kind in India, it will be open to business leaders and professionals who want to demonstrate their commitment and understanding of sustainable business practices.

The need for such a certification has never been greater, as consumers are increasingly aware of and concerned about the environmental and social impact of the products they purchase. For business leaders, this trend translates into a requirement for any reputable company to operate with transparency and to innovate with sustainability in mind.

Speaking at the launch, Dr. Anupam Verma, Co-Chairman, NDTV Group, said, "ESG is gaining momentum in India and abroad. companied are working on ESG goals but there is a need for a common framework and credibility in terms of scoring."

NDTV and TERI are leaders in their respective fields of news and sustainable development, and Zenora is a pioneer in online learning. By joining forces, the partners aim to catalyse the pace of change towards a sustainable future.

"ESG competencies are becoming key skills for business leaders. With this collaboration, we want to use our expertise to create a transformative learning experience," said Dr. Rajendra Kumar Pachauri, Former Chief, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and Director-General, TERI.

This certification programme will not only enhance the skills and employability of professionals amidst a rapidly transforming corporate landscape but will also empower them to drive ESG initiatives in their organisations.

"As a company born with a sustainability soul, we are excited to collaborate with NDTV and TERI to enable the business leaders of today and tomorrow to drive ESG progress. In working together to develop this certification programme, we aim to empower leaders to accelerate momentum towards a more sustainable future," said Zenora CEO Aparna Piramal Raje.

This certification programme intends to become a prominent credential in the business world, encouraging leaders to commit to their ESG goals genuinely and with a clear strategy.
