About Conclave

In an era where resource scarcity, climate volatility, and regulatory evolution reshape the global landscape, water, energy, and environmental sustainability have emerged as the vital pillars of business resilience and future-readiness. The strategic integration of sustainable practices has transcended optional status to become imperative for organizations seeking enduring prosperity.

Recognizing this critical inflection point, under the aegis of the Second Edition of Water Transversality Global Awards and Conclave 2026, the India Water Foundation proudly presents an immersive two-day conference on “Deciphering ESG Transversality for Sustainable Water, Energy, Environment Nexus”, culminating in a prestigious awards ceremony.

This landmark gathering will delve into four transformative themes:

First, charting pathways for businesses and policymakers to integrate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into institutional frameworks for lasting impact;
Second, dissecting the intricate Water-Energy-Environment Nexus to catalyze cross-sectoral sustainability;
Third, cultivating global alliances and knowledge exchange to address environmental challenges through collaborative innovation;
Finally, showcasing pioneering cross-industry approaches accelerating the journey toward carbon neutrality.

By uniting visionary policymakers, industry pioneers, and sustainability champions, this dynamic forum aims to spark collaboration, inspire meaningful action, and celebrate exemplary stewardship of our planet’s most precious resources, ultimately paving the way for a truly sustainable future.
