Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting

BRSR Reporting Services

SEBI-compliant BRSR and BRSR Core reporting for listed companies. From data readiness to a filed, assurance-ready report, built by an IFC-approved firm that is also a licensed AA1000 assurance provider.

BRSR Core reasonable assurance reaches the top 1000 listed entities from FY 2026-27. If you are in that cohort, this is the year to get audit-ready.

The Real Challenge

BRSR Is No Longer a Form to Fill. It Is Data You Have to Defend.

The move from BRR to BRSR turned a narrative into a numbers exercise. BRSR Core went further, holding those numbers to the same confidence an assurer applies to a financial audit.

The hard part is rarely the writing. BRSR compliance now turns on collecting accurate, verifiable data across sites and functions, defining every KPI the same way twice, and holding an evidence trail that survives scrutiny. That is where reports slip, and where ESG ratings and investor confidence are won or lost.

Multi-site data collection Consistent KPI definitions Audit-ready evidence trail Reasonable assurance readiness
In Short

Two Reports, One Data Foundation

Full BRSR covers a wide set of disclosures across nine principles, filed within your annual report.

BRSR Core is a subset of nine ESG attributes that must pass reasonable assurance. Get the data foundation right, and both come from the same source of truth.

Why Consultivo

Reports Built to Survive Assurance, Not Just to Be Filed

Four things most BRSR providers cannot offer, together on one engagement.

Investor-grade credibility

IFC (World Bank Group) Approved

An IFC-approved advisor, so your disclosures are built to the standard investors and lenders already trust. Very few Indian BRSR firms carry a development-finance credential.

A licensed assurer's eye

We Know What the Auditor Will Ask

We are a licensed AA1000 assurance provider. We build reports to survive reasonable assurance because we run those tests ourselves. To keep assurance independent, a separate team handles the engagement.

Technology plus people

Powered by ESGSlate

ESGSlate takes the pain out of collecting and validating data across sites, defining KPIs and holding the evidence trail. Your team focuses on the business, not the spreadsheet.

One house, full lifecycle

The Full ESG Journey, One Team

From materiality and strategy to reporting, training and assurance, one team carries your ESG journey. BRSR becomes a managed stage, not an annual scramble.

Framework Fluency

The Nine Principles, Sections A, B and C, Handled

BRSR runs on the nine principles (the BRSR 9 principles) of the National Guidelines on Responsible Business Conduct (NGRBC), disclosed across three structured sections. We keep you aligned with SEBI's BRSR guidelines, so your team does not have to.

P1Ethics, transparency and accountability
P2Safe and sustainable goods and services
P3Wellbeing of employees
P4Stakeholder interests and responsiveness
P5Respect for human rights
P6Protection of the environment
P7Responsible public policy advocacy
P8Inclusive growth and equitable development
P9Responsible engagement with consumers
Section AGeneral disclosures. Who you are, where you operate, and how you are governed.
Section BManagement and process. The policies and systems behind each principle.
Section CPrinciple-wise performance. Essential and leadership indicators, with data.

Done well, BRSR is not a cost of listing. It is an asset.

Stronger ESG Ratings

Structured, verifiable data gives rating agencies what they need to score you fairly, and to score you higher.

Easier Access to Capital

Investor and lender-grade disclosures open doors with the very audiences a BRSR report is written for.

A De-Risked Next Year

A defensible evidence base makes every future filing faster, cheaper and far less stressful.

Questions, Answered

BRSR Reporting FAQs

Is BRSR mandatory, and does it apply to my company?

BRSR is mandatory for the top 1000 listed entities in India by market capitalisation, calculated as on 31 March each year. Companies below that threshold may report voluntarily. We confirm your cohort and timeline as the first step of every engagement.

What is the difference between BRSR and BRSR Core?

The full BRSR is a wide set of disclosures across nine principles. BRSR Core is a subset of nine ESG attributes that must undergo reasonable assurance, the same confidence level as a financial audit. Core is stricter, so its data needs a stronger evidence trail.

When does BRSR Core reasonable assurance apply to the top 1000?

SEBI has phased BRSR Core assurance in by market capitalisation: top 150 from FY 2023-24, top 250 from FY 2024-25, top 500 from FY 2025-26, and the top 1000 from FY 2026-27.

We are filing BRSR for the first time. Where do we start?

We start with an applicability check and a gap assessment against SEBI's format, then set up data collection and KPI definitions before any drafting begins. First-time filers usually gain the most from getting the data foundation right early.

Can our BRSR data be integrated with our annual report and frameworks like GRI, SASB and ISSB?

Yes. BRSR is filed within your annual report and maps to GRI, SASB, TCFD and ISSB concepts, so a single validated data set can serve multiple frameworks. We structure the data to be reused, not rebuilt.

Do you also provide the independent assurance?

Yes, through our independent assurance team, as a licensed AA1000 assurance provider. To keep assurance genuinely independent, the report preparation and the assurance engagement are run by separate teams.

How long does a BRSR reporting engagement take?

It depends on your data maturity, the number of sites and whether BRSR Core assurance applies. A first-year engagement with fresh data systems takes longer than a repeat filing. We give a clear timeline after the gap assessment.

What drives the cost and effort of a BRSR engagement?

The main drivers are how mature your ESG data is, how many sites and functions feed it, and whether BRSR Core assurance is in scope this year. Better data upfront lowers both cost and risk later.
