Future Proofing

Mr. Thomas Varghese
Business Head

We recognize that specific themes have emerged as key focus areas for achieving sustainability excellence, given the risks and opportunities for the business and the environment we operate in.

Future Proofing means being prepared for the different ways in which our operating environment may change, understanding the risks and opportunities these shifts could offer to the businesses and proactively shaping strategy to succeed in a future we want to see. Globalization has disrupted isolated systems and created a world of collaboration. There is no scope for a business to operate in a silo. The shift towards integrated organizational structures with a bottom-up approach has been the focus of the transitioning economies. Businesses need to make themselves resilient to evolving risks and be open to new opportunities; we at Aditya Birla Group, refer to this as future-proofing.

At a Group level, we have partnered with the “Forum for Future”, a collaboration that we aim to build on to make better decisions today, for our tomorrow.
