Risk assessment for sustainable development | Ep. #48

<p>This episode is part 1 of our conversation with <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/anu-chaudhary-52ba4310/">Anu Chaudhary</a>.</p> <p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/anu-chaudhary-52ba4310/">Anu</a> holds a special place in my journey into environmental sustainability..you know why, because exactly a year ago I was going through a transition period where I had made up my mind be the front runner towards achieving sustainable development goals. Kaunsa raasta chunna hai woh decision too maine le liya tha but I was clueless about the apt mode of transport to navigate through this path. Metaphorically I didn’t know whether to walk the path or to take a bus, car or truck in order to start my journey.</p> <p>As I was doing my research, One fine day through LinkedIn I came across <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/anu-chaudhary-52ba4310/">Anu Chaudhary</a>’s interview and her phenomenal work at sustainPlus and while watching, I thought to myself, why don’t I reach out to her and see if she would be willing to guide me through.</p> <p>To my good fortune, she agreed to do so and that’s how my association with Anu began.</p> <p>I’m absolutely grateful to her for the time she committed towards guiding me which gave me a good understanding of the pros and cons and hacks of walking the path. So in addition to being a good human, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/anu-chaudhary-52ba4310/">Anu</a> is a visionary ESG leader who understands the mechanisms that create real business value from socially responsible and environmentally responsible business strategies. She founded <a href="http://sustainplus.in/">SustainPlus</a> - a sustainability &amp; CSR consulting company in the year 2016 and today operates as the CEO for the organization.</p> <p>I liked how she identified a huge gap in public understanding of how a policy, or a standard or a regulation around environmental sustainability can be translated into economic value &amp; she leveraged that as an opportunity not only to build for herself a new career path b
