About the 3rd International Conference

Businesses and societies are changing in the realm of concerns promoting sustainability in products, processes and policies. The drive and commitment across countries to adopt sustainable development goals have accentuated the debate reflecting its social and economic pros and cons. This debate not only deciphers the synergies attached to the adoption of sustainable development goals but also provides an opportunity to create a legacy for future generations. A legacy where an augmentation of industrialization can be lived by generations to come with minimal damage to the environment and yet continue the life cycle. In order to bring longevity to organizations, their products, policies and processes, the inherent nature of corporate governance plays a pivotal role. Corporate governance steers, direct and control the present-day business with a vision to create a sustainable organization for the future. With this background, the 3rd International Conference on “Corporate Governance and Sustainable Development: Reflecting New Perspectives in Emerging Economies and Around the Globe” attempts to discuss and deliberate the plausible ways to achieve corporate excellence and sustainable development goals. This conference intends to bring out diverse methods considering interdisciplinary approaches and their outcomes.
