New Delhi, India | 16th July 2025 In a historic move toward redefining sustainability leadership and global environmental strategy, the World Environment Council (WEC) officially launched the WEC Sustainability Ecosystem Framework (WEC-SEF™)—a pioneering model designed to equip organizations, institutions, and governments across the globe to embed sustainability into their core operations.
Conceived and invented by Prof. Ganesh Prakash Channa, Founder and President of WEC, the framework was unveiled in July 2025 as a holistic response to growing climate, ESG, and governance challenges. The WEC-SEF is set to become a global blueprint for green transformation.
What is WEC-SEF™?
The WEC Sustainability Ecosystem Framework (WEC-SEF™) is a globally adaptable, multi-dimensional sustainability model that guides organizations, educational institutions, municipalities, NGOs, and businesses in aligning their environmental and governance strategies with UN SDGs, ESG regulations, and Net Zero goals.
WEC-SEF is structured around five key pillars: Education, Environment, Ethics, Governance, and Social Responsibility, making it one of the most inclusive and practical sustainability frameworks of its kind. It emphasizes real-world implementation and actionable ESG integration, moving beyond compliance to long-term climate resilience.
🎯 Purpose & Vision
WEC-SEF™ was built to:
- Enable responsible environmental governance through measurable, actionable practices
- Standardize ESG and sustainability reporting under one cohesive framework
- Support global entities in their transition to Net Zero and alignment with SDGs
- Foster a culture of data-backed decision-making and grassroots impact
Speaking on the launch, Prof. Ganesh Channa remarked:
“Sustainability cannot be an isolated goal. It must flow through systems, decisions, education, and innovation. WEC-SEF™ is the bridge between purpose and practice.”
