M&M chief Anish Shah supports govt incentives to promote sustainability

Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd Managing Director and CEO Anish Shah on Thursday supported incentives provided to companies by the government for promoting ESG (environmental, social and governance) programmes.

Speaking at the annual general meeting of the Indo Canadian Business Chamber, Shah also said climate change should not be seen as a potential disaster but “think of it as an opportunity”.

“The biggest factor in these programs (ESG) is new technologies because the new technologies are resulting in quantum changes in the carbon footprint,” he said when asked if there should be some sort of incentive by the government to promote or give a push to ECG programmes.
