Abstract
In the company setup of large-scale industries, there are such activities that involve environmental degradation. Therefore, it is mandatory for such companies to perform corporate sustainability reporting as part of their compliance to environmental laws and International Standard of Organisation (ISO) 26000. It is a virtue with which company can give back to the society for the environmental damages that they have done in the process of their manufacturing and business operations. This study has analysed sustainability reports of 25 listed companies each from Philippines and India. The study focuses on the environmental parameters such as energy consumption, renewable energy, water consumption, air emissions, generated wastes. The study further aims to develop a framework that involves Public Private Partnership (PPP) model which shows how a systemic approach to environmental sustainability is inclusive and resilient to the barriers to climate change. Implications of this study would be essential for environmental sustainability strategies that will mitigate the negative impact of business operations on society and nature. Relevant findings have significance in terms of climate change adaptation, environmental performance and policy implications. Most importantly, the need to have concerted efforts to resolve this large issue are addressed in this study.
