What Participants Say
"
We got to meet the experts and faculty in this immersion programme and already have
learnt a lot. As head of a HR consultancy company, I want to help my clients achieve sustainability in
their day to day operations.
"
The TERI campus immersion was unlike any executive programme I have attended. The
combination of faculty expertise, peer dialogue, and the nature walk connected sustainability theory to
real operational decisions.
"
I have a better understating of terms like GHG, biodiversity etc and their linkages
to each other.
"
The immersion session of two days was a fantastic learning experience. This immersion
session has given us what ESG means and how it is going to enable us to implement them in all the
respective industries and the organizations that we work in.
