Making CSR Work:
Integrating ESG into Board Strategy and Governance
Setting the global standard for responsible leadership
The 20th International Conference on Corporate Social Responsibility is a flagship global forum organised by the Institute of Directors (IOD), India, taking place on 19–20 February 2026 at the prestigious Hotel Taj Lands End, Mumbai, India. This annual conference brings together distinguished leaders from business, government, civil society, and academia to advance critical thinking and practical strategies in responsible corporate leadership.
Under the theme “Making CSR Work: Integrating ESG into Board Strategy and Governance”, the conference explores how boards can strategically embed Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) priorities into corporate purpose, performance, and long-term value creation. Across plenary sessions, high-level discussions, and expert panels, participants will explore emerging CSR frameworks, stakeholder expectations, evolving regulatory landscapes, and real-world governance practices that drive sustainable impact.
The event attracts leading policymakers, corporate directors, CEOs, ESG practitioners, and thought leaders from across India and around the world, fostering collaboration, shared insights, and actionable solutions for today’s most pressing social and environmental challenges. Beyond dialogue, the conference also recognises excellence through the Golden Peacock Awards and other honours that showcase transformative leadership in CSR and sustainability.
This conference is an essential platform for organisations seeking to elevate their CSR and ESG commitments from compliance to competitive advantage.

The IOD, India has been a champion for what I describe as responsible capitalism over many years. And what you have done is champion issues such as corporate social responsibility, minority shareholding, sustainability, and all of this before it became either fashionable or indeed became a must for corporate leaders to talk about.”
The Rt. Hon. Alok Sharma, MP
(the then) Hon’ble Minister of State for Employment at the Department of Work and Pensions Govt. of UK
IOD has really been very instrumental in enhancing the trade and investment between India and UK.
Every year, what they do here is remarkable.
Gopichand P. Hinduja
Co-Chairman
Hinduja Group, UK
I think I have to compliment IOD because they started talking about governance and
role of directors from 1990 onwards which was not as fashionable as it is today.
Ajay Piramal
Chairman
Piramal Group & Shriram Group
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the Institute of Directors (IOD) for this esteemed opportunity. I commend the IOD for organizing such a prestigious event in the UAE, a hub of innovation and business excellence, and for their valuable partnership with the Ministry of Economy.
His Excellency Abdullah Ahmed Al Saleh
Undersecretary of the Ministry of Economy, Government of UAE
The Institute of Directors has played a crucial role in shaping the corporate landscape in India. Their leadership and vision in organising this conference underscore the importance of addressing climate change and environmental risk.
Hon’ble Justice Ritu Raj Awasthi
Judicial Member, Lokpal of India
former Chairperson, Law Commission of India
former Chief Justice, Karnataka High Court
Institutions like IOD see to it that perhaps a lot of encouragement can be given to
the corporate sector to mend its ways and to be on the right side of everything.

Today, building an effective business network is vital.
Annually, IOD conducts a large number of workshops, seminars, national & international conventions on current boardroom challenges, covering themes ranging from corporate governance, sustainability, leadership, business excellence, corporate social responsibility, environment & climate change. To make India a preferred investment destination, annual outreach programmes, global business meets and workshops are also conducted, not only in different parts of the country, but also global business hubs like London, Dubai & Singapore since 2003 to promote global exchange of ideas & networking and also to resonate with the voice of the boardroom.
The ability to successfully drive and deliver the change agenda is, what sets IOD apart.
