The Fern, Kolhapur
On 19 September 2025, Asar Social Impact Advisors (Asar), under the Decarbonisation India Alliance (DIA), in collaboration with IIM Nagpur’s Centre of Excellence for Corporate Governance, CSR & Sustainability (CGCS) and the Institute of Indian Foundrymen (IIF), Kolhapur Chapter, will host a half-day convening at The Fern, Kolhapur.
Kolhapur’s foundries are central to both local livelihoods and global supply chains. As global markets tighten sustainability norms and mechanisms like the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) come into effect, the sector faces both pressing challenges and promising opportunities to transition towards low-carbon pathways.
The convening will include the launch of a report based on pilot energy and carbon assessments of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), offering insights into practical decarbonisation strategies. Shri Amol Yedge, IAS, Collector & District Magistrate, Kolhapur, will join as Chief Guest.
Bringing together foundry owners, policymakers, financiers, and technical experts, the event will explore business opportunities, financing avenues, and actionable strategies to make Kolhapur’s foundries export-ready while advancing environmental responsibility.
