<h1>Conference explores integrating ESG principles with IBC 3.0 proposals to strengthen stakeholder trust and insolvency restructuring</h1> A national conference organized by a university and a professional company-secretary body addressed legal and regulatory intersections between Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles and the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC). A regulator-level speaker outlined integrating ESG into corporate law, stakeholder-theory implications, the IBC's mediation role in restructuring, and proposed 'IBC 3.0' amendments to enhance trust and collective responsibility among stakeholders. Academic and practitioner panels examined ESG versus CSR, institutional and legal frameworks for sustainability, and practical challenges in takeovers, mergers and insolvency. Selected conference papers will be published to inform policy and scholarship.
