The responsibilities of the business houses have now changed from the single bottom line of ‘profits’ to the triple bottom line of planets, people and profits, Minister for Industries Thangam Thennarasu said at the Platinum jubilee celebrations of the Hindustan Chamber of Commerce in Chennai on Friday.
After the presentation of Business Excellence and Humanity Awards for the year to City Union Bank Ltd., Caplin Point Laboratries Ltd. and Madras Dyslexia Association, Mr. Thennarasu said Tamil Nadu was working towards a very ambitious goal of becoming a $1 trillion economy despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The government of Tamil Nadu is extending all support to the business community to sustain and grow their business. Today’s awardees are truly deserving. I have no doubt that the chamber and these organisations and industries will take Tamil Nadu to $1 trillion economy as envisaged by the Chief Minister,” he said.
