Panel Discussion: Mission LiFE and management of Scope 3 emissions

  • Mission LiFE, or Lifestyle for Environment is essentially a P3 model, i.e. Pro Planet People based on the basic principles of ‘Lifestyle of the planet, for the planet and by the planet’. 
  • Scope 3 emissions are a consequence of the activities of the company but occur from sources not owned or controlled by the company. Some examples of Scope 3 activities are extraction and production of purchased materials; transportation of purchased fuels; and use of products and services. 
  • Examples of intersectionality between the two:
  • Business travel
  • Employee commuting

Talking points:

  • How to nudge individuals to practice simple and effective environment-friendly actions in their daily lives?
  • How to add-up individual efforts into a people's collective so that the mass sentiment for sustainable products is visible?
  • How to use the sustainable demand scenario to influence government and industrial policy to support both sustainable production?
  • How to promote circular economy models?
  • How do we measure impact?

Symposium: India's Net Zero Journey: Lessons from CPSEs and Government promoted organisations 

At COP26, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi made announcement that India would strive to achieve net zero emissions by 2070; increase non-fossil fuel capacity by 500GW by 2030; 50% of India’s energy requirements would come from renewable energy by 2030; reduction of total projected carbon emissions by one billion tonnes from now to 2030; and reduction of the carbon intensity of the economy by 45 per cent by 2030, over 2005 levels.

  • Talking Points: How are CPSUs offsetting impact on their conventional businesses with opportunities in transitioning to low-carbon energy sector?
  • How are CPSUs aligning their plans with the global investors divesting from fossil fuel assets to renewable?
  • CPSUs have a strategic presence across key sectors like oil, gas, energy and their role is critical for India to achieve the net zero target. While most have set net zero targets, how are taking supplies chains along?
  • How do CPSUs compare with the Indian private sector in ensuring just transition? 
  • How are CPSUs also using the public-private model to advance India’s net zero journey? 
  • Given CPSUs’ strategic role in India’s net zero journey, how are they playing a leadership role in their respective segments?
