Ambujanagar (Gujarat), Chandrapur (Maharashtra), Farakka (West Bengal) and Bhatapara (Chhattisgarh) were awarded for their outstanding work among a candidate pool of 29 applicants.
Instituted in 2006, the CII-ITC Sustainability Awards recognise and reward excellence in businesses that are seeking ways to be more sustainable and inclusive in their activities. Winners of the Awards are role models that inspire others to follow suit. The Awards are a part of the continued efforts of CESD to create awareness on sustainability practices and to create capacities in business. More than recognition, the Awards measure performance and provide detailed feedback for opportunities to excel.
