Indra Nooyi bats for environment sustaibility

 Kolkata, April 5: Stressing on creation of long-term values, Pepsico boss Indra Nooyi has said a company that “cuts corners” on environment sustaibility and fails to invest in future innovations will not stay on for long. “Performing in the short term is important — you won’t make it to your long-term goals if you don’t deliver results day-to-day,” she said during her address at the 50th annual convocation of Indian Institute of Magement-Calcutta here on Saturday.

“But a company that fails to invest in future innovations, that cuts corners on environmental sustaibility, or short-changes community stakeholders for the sake of a few extra stock points, is not going to make it for long,” Nooyi said. She advised the outgoing batch of magement students to “make a lasting impact”.

Nooyi, an IIM-C alumnus, said the most successful companies are those that create long-term strategies for employees, shareholders and greater community. (IANS)
