IG International appoints PwC for ESG programme incorporation

Leading fresh fruit importer IG International, one of India’s leading fresh fruit importers, has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers Services (PwC) to aid in the efficient incorporation of its environment, social and governance (ESG) programmes. The company's efforts to curate a calculated plan that helps in the facilitation of sustainable serviceability, pervasive environmentalism, and overarching governance, will be bolstered by this assistive cooperation. The engagement is mapped by PwC and monitored to mirror the relevant global ESG frameworks in accordance with standard industry practices.

As a part of the engagement, PwC has diligently evaluated IG International’s operational model to bifurcate the issues that need remedy and the positives that can be adapted as solutions. Some key indicators have been used to highlight the material requirements of the customers and the employees, where priorities have been recognized and ranked as high, medium, and low. The review also embodies a very methodologically refined four-step materiality analysis. The material process embraces all the requirements through a panoptic lens and tapers them to a manageable list of 14 critically-salient and accentuated material issues that need to be addressed.

Further, the extensive report also familiarizes IG International with the proposed sustainable solutions for the betterment of the central issues traced through internal stakeholder participation conducted by PwC.


IG International’s comprehensive and consistent efforts to align and adhere to the CSA have been ingrained and pervasive in their operational model. PwC’s ESG vision report would further propel the leading fruit importers to map, align, and implement a vast parameter-based solution stack, reinvigorating their position as a sustainable and environmentally conscious company.
