Introduction
Sustainability is crucial for the long-term growth of businesses, governments, and communities. To address this, the Centre for Responsible Management Education (CRME) at IIMV, in collaboration with ET CASES, is organizing the Case Conference on Responsible Innovations & Sustainability Practices (CRISP). This conference aims to bring together experts to discuss sustainable practices, innovations, and challenges, fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing among academicians, industry leaders, policymakers, and students.
 
Conference Theme
The central theme of CRISP is "Innovate for Impact: Business Cases Driving Sustainable Transformation." In an era defined by environmental challenges, social inequalities, and ethical business concerns, responsible innovation is no longer a choice but a necessity. Businesses, policymakers, and institutions worldwide are focusing on strategies that align economic progress with sustainable and inclusive growth. This conference seeks to highlight real-world business cases that exemplify how organizations—across industries—are integrating sustainability into their core operations while maintaining competitiveness and profitability.
 
Conference Objectives
  • Foster discussions on sustainability practices and their impact on business and society through well-researched case studies.
  • Sensitize the business community about innovations surrounding sustainability.
  • Build a repository of Indian cases addressing contemporary business issues.
