The CII CAP 2.0 Awards, instituted by the Confederation of Indian Industry, aim to recognize meaningful corporate actions on climate change and promote the integration of such actions into organizational business models and processes.
These awards are instrumental in driving industries to confront climate risks, leverage market opportunities, and enhance their climate resilience.
The awards underscore AESL's commitment to identifying and analyzing emerging risks ahead of its peers, thus positioning itself better to avoid or mitigate potential damages.
In 2023, the CII CAP 2.0 Awards acknowledged companies based on their maturity levels in three main categories.
This category recognizes companies whose strategies and plans are aligned to mitigate climate risks.
Their climate change planning is futuristic, adaptation projects are focused on building resilience, mitigation projects are planned and executed, and emission reduction targets are science-based and forward-thinking.
Companies making progress in their climate action plans but have not yet reached the level of the Resilient category fall into this category.
Companies that identify primary risks, manage greenhouse gases (GHGs), set targets, and foster a participatory culture, but have not yet reached the level of the Oriented category, are included in this category.
