SCOPE, GIZ Push Green PSU Transformation

SCOPE and GIZ Deepen Green Partnership to Drive PSU Climate ActionIn a major step towards accelerating sustainability and climate leadership in India’s public sector ecosystem, Standing Conference of Public Enterprises (SCOPE) held a high-level strategic meeting with GIZ India to strengthen cooperation on climate action, industrial decarbonisation, and sustainable transformation initiatives for Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs). The meeting was led by Atul Sobti and Ulrike Ebeling, along with senior officials from both organisations. The discussions focused on expanding ongoing collaboration aimed at helping PSUs transition towards greener, low-carbon, and climate-resilient operations. Officials highlighted that the partnership will play a critical role in supporting PSUs through knowledge exchange, technical cooperation, climate mitigation strategies, and capacity-building programmes. The initiative is designed to equip public sector enterprises with global best practices and modern sustainability frameworks needed to navigate the rapidly evolving climate and energy landscape. The collaboration aligns closely with India’s broader environmental vision and long-term climate commitments, including the push towards a low-carbon economy and sustainable industrial growth under national climate goals. According to officials, the strengthened partnership is expected to encourage wider PSU participation in green transformation projects, helping enterprises adopt cleaner technologies, improve operational sustainability, and reduce carbon footprints across sectors. The partnership will also facilitate stronger engagement between Indian PSUs and international sustainability institutions, enabling access to global expertise, innovative climate solutions, and collaborative policy approaches. As the apex body representing Public Sector Enterprises in India, SCOPE has been actively working with government institutions and industry stakeholders to promote responsible growth, sustainable business practices, and climate-conscious development across the public sector. The latest engagement with GIZ India marks another important milestone in India’s efforts to position PSUs at the forefront of climate action and sustainable economic transformation.
