The Last Balance Sheet: Finance, ESG & Planet @2050

The world of 2025 stands at a strange crossroads. On one side—AI, automation, hyper-growth. On the other—climate anxiety, resource depletion, and rising social inequality. In the middle of this tension lies the most under-discussed yet most critical question: Is business merely a profit machine, or is it a caretaker of the planet? In this special podcast episode, we are joined by Mitash Bhattacharya—author, speaker, and business consultant—who does not view sustainability as mere “greenwashing” or regulatory compliance. Instead, he frames it as a business survival strategy for Planet @2050. This conversation breaks out of the familiar CSR narrative and dives deep into CSG -Corporate Sustainability & Governance. Here, sustainability is not just about reducing carbon footprints. It is about: #Ethical decision-making #Keeping an empty chair in the boardroom for future generations #Holding businesses accountable not only to balance sheets, but also to the biosphere. Mitash Bhattacharya explores questions rarely discussed in mainstream podcasts: --- Why will non-sustainable leadership become the biggest risk by 2050? --- Why will future CEOs be measured on KPIs like soil health, water indices, and social trust? --- Why could ESG scores one day matter more than stock prices? --- Why is the climate crisis fundamentally a leadership crisis? Rather than presenting sustainability as a romantic ideal, this episode treats it as hard-core business logic. Mitash explains how: Short-term profit thinking turns companies into long-term liabilities Governance failure damages public trust more than environmental loss alone Ignoring the planet today means destroying tomorrow’s markets This conversation is not only for large corporates or policymakers. It is equally relevant for: Entrepreneurs Startup founders Students and young professionals Ordinary citizens who want to understand who is shaping their future What makes this episode truly distinctive is its positioning of sustainability—not as sacrifice—but as a marker of intelligence, foresight, and courage. Planet @2050 is not just a date on the calendar. It is a mirror—reflecting the consequences of today’s decisions. This podcast dares to ask: “If the Earth were a company, Are we driving it toward bankruptcy?” A deep, thought-provoking, and sometimes uncomfortable—but absolutely necessary—conversation where business, the planet, and humanity sit together to negotiate the future. Listen. Reflect. Question. Because the story of Planet 2050 is being written today. email-Jomiyaadda@gmail.com phone/wap-7439132669
