The India’s Most Sustainable Companies (IMSC) Awards stand as one of India’s most credible recognitions for corporate excellence in sustainability. Presented at the conclusion of the 8th Sustainable World Conclave, these awards will celebrate organisations that have embedded environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles at the core of their strategy and operations — not just in policy, but in measurable action and long-term vision.
Through this platform, we spotlight companies that are redefining value creation by aligning profitability with purpose and resilience with responsibility.
Each year, we conduct a comprehensive, data-backed evaluation of India’s largest companies, assessing their ESG performance through a proprietary multi-phase framework. This robust process identifies and ranks the organizations that are setting new standards in environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and ethical governance.
The IMSC initiative is not just about disclosure — it’s about recognizing companies that demonstrate real impact, strategic integration, and future-readiness in how they do business.
The process includes:
1. Phase 1: Data-driven assessment using public reports, sustainability disclosures, and external research
2. Phase 2: Peer evaluation by an Advisory Council comprising senior industry leaders, CSOs, and ESG experts
What the Recognition Includes
· Top 50 Companies: Recognized across industries for their overall ESG excellence
· Top 3 Per Sector: Acknowledged for being leaders within their respective industry verticals
The results of the assessment are published in a Special Issue of BW Businessworld, which includes:
This annual edition serves as a reference point for the ecosystem — from ESG investors and regulators to corporate leaders and sustainability professionals.

Today’s HR landscape is characterised by many fast-changing human and non-human factors. New technologies (enabled by AI and automation) are emerging constantly, making existing skills obsolete faster and creating urgent need for new ones. This has created a constant need for reskilling and upskilling. The rise of remote and hybrid work, gig economies, and diverse employee demographics demand flexible and personalised learning experiences. Almost every organisation is prioritising EX (Employee Experience). In the context of business, HR is increasingly expected to demonstrate ROI and impact, requiring robust data and analytics while attracting and retaining top talent. This in turn rests on meaningful growth and development opportunities in the organisations.
Agile and strong L&D culture in the organisation is not just a buzzword, it is the need of the hour while businesses themselves need to be agile to respond quickly to the market shifts. BW People Festival of L&D 2026 will witness the most meaningful and insightful discussions by the senior-most L&D leaders of the country on how agile L&D no longer remains a luxury but a strategic imperative for HR departments striving to remain competitive and effective in a world where change is the only constant. Through a series a brainstorming sessions and power talks by over 50 CXOs/ CHROs and the biggest L&D Champions, this conference will dive deep into understanding how agile L&D can move HR from being a reactive support function to a proactive driver of organisational capability and talent development, directly impacting business success.
The full day Conference will be followed by a gala awards night – the 2nd Edition of BW People L&D Excellence Awards, celebrating the exceptional and innovative work done in L&D. These awards will honour and recognise those who have gone above and beyond, transforming potential into performance and are shaping the future of workforce.
