IIM LUCKNOW BUSINESS SUSTAINABLITY CONCLAVE
SANRAKSHAN '25
Sanrakshan is the Annual Business Sustainability Conclave organized by the Indian Institute of Management Lucknow, in collaboration with the Centre for Business Sustainability — a Centre of Excellence at the IIML Noida Campus.
The conclave serves as a vibrant platform that brings together leaders from industry, academia, government, civil society, and youth from across the country to engage in high-impact discussions around the most pressing sustainability challenges and opportunities of our time.
In its fifth edition, Sanrakshan 2025 delves into the theme:
“Viksit Bharat 2047: Catalysing Growth through Sustainability and Responsibility”
As India moves closer to realizing its vision of becoming a developed nation by 2047, this year’s conclave explores how sustainable innovation, responsible leadership, and inclusive action can drive long-term growth and resilience. The event aims to spark transformative ideas and collaborations that can accelerate the country’s journey toward a greener, more equitable, and future-ready economy.
Join us as we reimagine business, policy, and society through the lens of sustainability and co-create a roadmap for a prosperous, nurturing future.
Join the Movement
Sanrakshan 2025 is more than a conclave — it is a national movement to rethink the future of business and development in India. It invites all stakeholders — public and private — to co-create a resilient, inclusive, and thriving economy, in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and India’s long-term development vision.
Whether you’re a policymaker, CXO, sustainability officer, academic, student, or changemaker — Sanrakshan 2025 offers a platform to share your ideas, learn from the best, and shape the dialogue on what a truly “Viksit Bharat” should look like.
Let’s come together to lead responsibly, grow sustainably, and build boldly — for India and for the world.
About Centre for Business Sustainability
The Centre for Business Sustainability (CBS), a Centre of Excellence at the Indian Institute of Management Lucknow, serves as a multidisciplinary and collaborative platform dedicated to advancing the agenda of sustainable business practices in India and beyond. The Centre is driven by a core belief that businesses must evolve beyond the traditional dichotomy of profitability versus responsibility, and instead embrace a model where economic performance, environmental stewardship, and social equity are not only compatible but mutually reinforcing.
CBS brings together a diverse body of experts, researchers, industry leaders, and policy thinkers to explore innovative strategies that align long-term business growth with sustainability imperatives. It actively supports organizations in integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles into their core operations, decision-making processes, and stakeholder engagement models.
