[Sept. 30, 2004]
Pulp and paper industry rated for the second time by CSE. The rating pushes companies to improve their environmental performance
"Being environment-friendly is not only a moral obligation; it also makes good economic sense... I think ultimately a country like India cannot be governed by accepted regulations, so we must develop a more participatory style of management and regulations which rely more on self-performance and self-improvement rather than mere regulations. And ratings can help in inducing that change in mindset."

— Dr. Manmohan Singh
Prime Minister & Chair of the Project Advisory Panel
