The 6th International Conference on Global Financial and Business Environment ICGFBE 2025 aims to bring together esteemed professionals, renowned researchers, and industry leaders to explore the critical intersection of Finance and Business with Environment, Sustainability, Governance, Innovation, and Technology. Globally renowned academicians have agreed to be ‘Conference Speakers’ and many of these speakers have emerged as icons for many next-generation scholars. We believe that their valuable insights and expertise would greatly enrich the discussions at our conference, inspiring the audience and igniting new ideas for sustainable marketing practices.

We are delighted to announce the Sixth Edition of the International Conference on Global Financial and Business Environment (ICGFBE 2025), which will be held on December 12–13, 2025. This year’s theme, “Finance and Business on ESG for Sustainability,” reflects the growing urgency to integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles into mainstream financial and business strategies. Organized by New Delhi Institute of Management (NDIM), ICGFBE 2025 aspires to bring together leading academicians, policymakers, industry professionals, researchers, and doctoral scholars from around the globe to deliberate on the dynamic and evolving global business and financial environment. Furthermore, we have associated with some indexed journals (ABDC/Scopus/WoS/ABS) to extend publication opportunities to the authors subject to positive peer review processes. We encourage you to submit high-quality papers to this conference and make the most of this opportunity. The primary objective of the Sixth Edition of ICGFBE 2025 is to provide a platform for global participants to share their ideas and experiences in person with peers joining from different parts of the world. In addition, this gathering will help the delegates to establish research or business relations as well as to find international linkages for future collaborations in their career path.

We hope that ICGFBE2025 outcome will lead to significant contributions to the knowledge base in these up-to-date scientific fields in scope. Global markets are changing rapidly and are becoming more interdependent. This interdependence of the markets and the pace of changes that are taking place globally requires engagement with the global community of experts.

Similarly, corporate reliance and dependence on global financial markets in the emerging economies have increased significantly in view of the cost and risk consciousness of variety of financial products and financing options available in the markets. The challenges too are manifold in terms of regulatory aspects, expanded opportunities and changing role of financial institutions. With the rapid development in business and technology, enterprises are now facing escalating competitions and vague opportunities. The capital markets across the globe have gone under radical changes and received much focus since the financial crisis in 2008. In recent times commodity markets and other derivatives such as car bone missions and the crypto currency markets have also emerged and are being traded globally. Recently, global markets have experienced unprecedented volatility.

The vitality of the markets is crucial for sustainable economic growth and efficient allocation of scarcer sources. The relevance of this conference has increased many folds because of the Covid; the valuation of companies and financial assets is a great concern for all of us. Other fields within the social sciences are also undergoing significant transformations.
