On the occasion of 30th Founders Day, FIIB
organized the 13th Responsibility Summit,
honoring the vision and legacy of Mr R. K.
Shrivastava, founder of FIIB. According to
him, "Education is for improving the lives
of others and for leaving your community
and world better than you found it." Guided
by his profound vision, FIIB adopted the
sustainability thinking formally in 2011 with
the signing of a Sustainability Policy. What
started as a small initiative 13 years back has
now blossomed into a core pillar of FIIB’s culture
and brand. The 13th edition of the Responsibility
Summit summarizes the institute’s action
in this direction. This year’s theme: "Nudge
Forward: Empowering Change, Transforming
Societies", emphasizes the subtle yet profound
shifts necessary for societal progress.
At the summit in 2023, a distinguished and
seasoned group of professional experts
assembled under one roof to exchange
effective sustainability practices. The guest of
honor Mr Ratnesh Jha, Executive Director of UN
Global Compact Network India, was presented
with the ’Leadership in Sustainability Award’ for
leading the way in sustainable development.
Mr Arpit Sharma, COO at Skill Council for
Green Jobs, engaged in a lively interaction
with students, providing valuable insights and
opportunities in the booming Indian green
industry. He underscored the necessity for
infrastructure to support India's commitments
and highlighted major announcements,
including renewable energy expansion, carbon
emission reduction, and the Green Hydrogen
Mission 2030.
During the summit a decisive moment
unfolded when the students and faculty of
FIIB solemnly pledged to uphold responsibility
and ethical conduct in their endeavors by
taking FIIB’s Responsibility Pledge. Later on
a panel discussion on “Nudging for Good:
Embracing Responsibility and Amplifying
Social Impact" sparked thought-provoking
conversations among industry experts and
thought leaders - Ms Aditi A., Country Director,
Girl Up, UN Foundation, Mr Milan George
Jacob, Communication Specialist, Council on
Energy, Environment and Water, Mr Pradeep
Sangwan, Founder, Healing Himalayas, Prof
Kokil Jain, Dean, Research and Outreach,
Fortune Institute of International Business,
Delhi. The discussion was moderated by
Ms Divyani Diddi, Senior Choice Architect,
Behavioural Insights Architecture & Strategy
Private Limited. The panelists shared their
experiences on embracing responsibility and
creating a nudge in the society.

EVENT
At a time when much needs to be done to
ensure a habitable future for the planet,
platforms like the Responsibility Summit
create a crucial space for discourse on the
way forward. The diverse perspectives that
the session 'Nudging for Good' brought
together on applying behavioural sciences in
several areas, including climate action and
waste management, was highly insightful
and action-oriented. FIIB's initiatives,
like the social internship programme,
are commendable and can nudge the
next generation of leaders towards more
sustainable development.”
Amidst urgent environmental
challenges, forums like FIIB’s
Responsibility Summit facilitate
crucial dialogue. It's heartening to witness
a Higher Education Institution shaping
responsible conduct among students, the flag
bearers of sustainability. The release of FIIB's
Responsibility Report was commendable,
showcasing the institute's commitment to
establishing a lasting legacy of sustainability.”
