Confederation of Indian Industry

The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) works to create and sustain an environment conducive to the development of India, partnering industry, Government, and civil society, through advisory and consultative processes. CII is a non-government, not-for-profit, industry-led and industry-managed organization, playing a proactive role in India's development process. Founded in 1895, India's premier business association has over 8000 members, from the private as well as public sectors, including SMEs and MNCs, and an indirect membership of over 200,000 enterprises from around 240 national and regional sectoral industry bodies. CII charts change by working closely with Government on policy issues, interfacing with thought leaders, and enhancing efficiency, competitiveness and business opportunities for industry through a range of specialized services and strategic global linkages. It also provides a platform for consensus-building and networking on key issues. Extending its agenda beyond business, CII assists industry to identify and execute corporate citizenship programmes. Partnerships with civil society organizations carry forward corporate initiatives for integrated and inclusive development across diverse domains including affirmative action, healthcare, education, livelihood, diversity management, skill development, empowerment of women, and water, to name a few. The CII theme for 2016-17, Building National Competitiveness, emphasizes Industry's role in partnering Government to accelerate competitiveness across sectors, with sustained global competitiveness as the goal. The focus is on six key enablers: Human Development; Corporate Integrity and Good Citizenship; Ease of Doing Business; Innovation and Technical Capability; Sustainability; and Integration with the World. With 66 offices, including 9 Centres of Excellence, in India, and 9 overseas offices in Australia, Bahrain, China, Egypt, France, Germany, Singapore, UK, and USA, as well as institutional partnerships with 320 counterpart organizations in 106 countries, CII serves as a reference point for Indian industry and the international business community.

12 Our world is entering an age of unprecedented risks and opportunities. There is immense pressure on our natural resources, carbon emissions are alarmingly high, and inequalities are increasing. The environment is suffering as are the people. In light of this, sustainability has become a major concern for businesses. It pressurizes them to adapt accordingly so that their practices meet the need of the changing environment. That's where we come in. We nurture our clients to compete, expand opportunity and excel in today's dynamic business environments. The Centre works to create and sustain an environment conducive to the growth of business, partnering business and government alike through training, advisory and consultative services. These services comprise capacity building and training programmes and workshops related to environment policies, management systems, management frameworks, performance assessment, sustainability reporting, stakeholder engagement, sustainability assurance, climate change, sustainable business portfolios and business model innovation to name a few. Today, India faces multiple challenges. The major challenges are economic, social and environmental in nature. In the last two decades, India has seen tremendous growth. However, the beneficiaries of this growth are but a small section of the country's population. There is an ever-widening gap between the haves and the have nots. The majority of the population remains at the periphery of development, while the rest lean towards the other extreme, that of immense wealth. There are disparities amongst regions, states, sectors and communities. This exclusion from the benefits of economic growth development has rendered people steeped in poverty with very low standards of living. The environmental challenges that the world and India, especially as a developing economy, faces are depleting natural resources, environmental degradation, sky rocketing GHG emissions and consequently, climate change. The combination of these economic, social and environmental challenges could prove to be detrimental to the future growth of India as a country and as a sustainable economy. The Centre works to mitigate these problems and engender a transformation in the way business is conducted. In order to do so and achieve sustainable, equitable and inclusive growth, the Centre seeks to bring transformation through a complete programme of policy advocacy, knowledge creation, knowledge dissemination and 'on-ground'model projects. The Centre works with businesses and the government to bring about this transformation and address the various issues of sustainability, environmental degradation, climate change, inclusion etc. The training and consulting services we provide facilitate companies in their sustainability efforts.
