9 Principles of BRSR
What is ESG and BRSR Reporting?

BRSR simplifies that problem, especially for leading listed companies in India, with a unified, transparent reporting format, which all companies will need to adopt.
-
The nationwide regulations and measures present to tackle the climate change issue and to grow the economy in a sustainable manner will certainly become an important focal point in the future.
Why is it crucial?
-
An important aspect of sustainability reporting for companies in India has been the challenge of selecting the correct reporting framework. BRSR simplifies that problem with a unified, transparent reporting format which all companies will need to adopt going forward.
-
The main purpose of the BRSR is to help companies align their businesses with the NGRBC. This directly helps put
emphasis on transparency and accountability of a company’s operations.
Why should you learn it?
-
BRSR will act as an effective mode of communicating a company’s non-financial disclosures and should be seen as the next step in ESG reporting going forward. Publishing a BRSR report should be seen as a mandatory compliance exercise as per SEBI’s vision as to what it intends BRSR’s purpose to be.
