Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal on Monday asked businesses to adopt a
sustainable and green approach in business practices.
He
asked them to use the forum of B20 along with G20 to look at how the
government and businesses can collectively work towards a sustainable
and equitable future agenda.
Addressing the Inception Meeting of
Business 20 (B20), the official G20 dialogue forum with the global
business community in Gandhinagar, he highlighted that India had always
stood for sustainable development.
He mentioned that India was
one of the top five countries in the world in terms of adopting and
implementing environmental goals.
India regularly files UNFCCC
report and has already exceeded its goal for 2030, of having a 40
percent share of renewable energy in its installed capacity in 2021,
Goyal told the gathering.
Giving a call for respecting
intergenerational equity, Goyal said that countries don't have the right
to use up all the resources of this planet.
Businesses that have
decided to set up manufacturing in India grow and expand due to our
competitiveness and ability to innovate and design new products, he
added.
