How Praveen is building a better working world

“As their concerns exponentially evolve over sustainability and climate change issues, stakeholders increasingly expect organizations to evaluate and consider sustainability-related factors in their long-term strategies.

I help companies measure and address the impact of such issues to facilitate and enhance their reporting of nonfinancial performance risks and opportunities to stakeholders. This helps them improve risk management and strategic planning regarding climate change and sustainability. It also gives investors a better understanding of the sustainability of their investment decisions.”
