About this episode

Vijaya Viswanathan discusses the impact of global ESG frameworks on corporate workplace policies, using TCS's Nashik office as a case study.

In this video, Vijaya Viswanathan (Trustee, Infinity Foundation) presents a critical perspective on global ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) frameworks and their influence on corporate workplace policies.Using a reported case from TCS’s Nashik office as a reference point, she discusses how emerging workplace inclusion practices—particularly those related to religious accommodation—may be increasingly shaped by ESG-linked compliance and scoring systems.The talk examines initiatives such as religious diversity and inclusion indices (including the REDI index) and suggests that such mechanisms could influence how companies evaluate and reward “inclusion” practices under the ESG “S” category.The video also questions whether global ESG governance models adequately reflect regional cultural contexts, particularly in India, and calls for consideration of India-specific approaches to corporate governance and social policy.#TCSNashik #ESG #CorporateGovernance #WorkplaceCulture #IndiaWho Is Raising Your Children? - https://whoisraisingyourchildren.com/Battle For Consciousness Theory - http://battleforconsciousnesstheory.comSnakes in the Ganga - http://www.snakesintheganga.comVarna…
