What Are the SANRAKSHAN Awards?
The SANRAKSHAN Awards, named after the Hindi word for “protection” or “preservation,” are a platform dedicated to honoring innovative and impactful contributions to environmental sustainability. These awards celebrate achievements in key areas such as Plastic Waste Management, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices, and Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR).
With a jury comprised of trailblazing leaders in environmental sustainability, the awards are designed to ensure a transparent and thorough evaluation process. Assessments are based on public domain information, covering:
- Compliance: Verification of participation in EPR registration, annual filings, environmental compensation, and plastic management programs.
- Voluntary Initiatives: Recognition of self-driven sustainability efforts.
- GRI and BRSR Reporting: Evaluation of adherence to global reporting standards.
- Sustainability Reports: Analysis of reports on carbon emissions, renewable energy usage, and pollution control measures.
Unique to the SANRAKSHAN Awards is the elimination of participation fees and application forms, ensuring inclusivity and accessibility for organizations across all sectors.
