Intertek, a leading provider of quality and safety solutions participated in Parivartan Forum, India's only market development summit for sustainability and innovation focused on business operations and the supply chain. The market development and innovation forum with thought leadership in sustainability as the centre-piece was organized today at Hotel Shangri-La.
Parivartan 2011 is the first forum in India to focus exclusively on driving adoption for sustainability initiatives in businesses by promoting the business case with decision makers: both on the production side as well as on the consumption front. The aim is to bring players in the manufacturing and production cycle together in a few verticals where sustainability is receiving greater visibility; with a goal to enable progressive organizations to tap into sustainable consumption initiatives and enable greater market visibility and traction for their goods and services.
“Sustainability is at the cusp of being the next megatrend. Today a large number of companies are articulating their sustainability strategies; standards bodies are seeing their measurement and reporting standards being adopted; and governments across the globe are either considering mandates on resource conservation and sustainability, or implementing them.” said Mr. Rajesh Saigal, Managing Director, Intertek India.
Intertek is committed to its environmental responsibility. A first in the industry, Intertek offers customers a mechanism to jointly offset the GHG emissions generated by the Intertek auditing services they have used globally. Intertek provides a step-by-step process to determine the best possible approach to minimize harmful outputs and increase possible resources for Carbon credits.
Mr. Christophe Liebon, Director- Sustainability Services, Intertek, who represented Intertek at the Summit as a speaker said “Environmental sustainability is the largest new aspect for businesses and their supply chains this decade”
