ESG and Sustainability Reporting Services in India

They use the same data with a different lens. A sustainability report speaks to a broad set of stakeholders and is usually built on GRI. ESG reporting frames the same performance for investors and rating agencies, aligned to standards such as ISSB, SASB and TCFD. Most organisations need both, served from one data set.

Yes, for the top 1000 listed entities by market capitalisation, which must file a Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) under SEBI. Other organisations report voluntarily to meet investor, lender and customer expectations. Common filing questions are answered in our BRSR FAQs.

BRSR Core is a focused subset of key BRSR indicators that must be independently assured, with the requirement phased in by market capitalisation. Because assurance tests evidence rather than narrative, your data trail matters as much as the disclosure. Read our explainer on BRSR Core reasonable assurance, or see how our ESG assurance team works.

It depends on your audience and jurisdiction. GRI suits broad stakeholder reporting, ISSB and SASB suit investors, TCFD covers climate (now within ISSB), and BRSR is mandatory for India's top 1000 listed entities. We map your exposure and pick the right mix, then collect data once to serve all of them.

Often several at once. ISSB (IFRS S1 and S2) is becoming the global investor baseline, the EU's CSRD and ESRS apply to in-scope EU activity with double materiality, and India's BRSR applies to listed entities. These frameworks are converging, so a single well-structured data set can satisfy most of them.

Yes. Frameworks share a common core of governance, strategy, metrics and targets. We collect granular data once and map it to GRI, ISSB, BRSR and others, which avoids duplicated effort and keeps every disclosure consistent.

Most comprehensive reports run four to six months, and move faster when a recent materiality assessment, defined frameworks and established data systems are in place. Cost is driven by data maturity, number of sites, scope and design complexity. Share your scope and we will give you a clear estimate.

Both. Our in-house studio, Slate of Swan, turns your disclosures into print, digital and interactive reports, with data visualisation and design built for boards, investors and rating agencies.

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

Yes. We benchmark you against sector peers and align your disclosures to what CDP, MSCI, Sustainalytics, EcoVadis and DJSI actually score, so a stronger report supports a stronger rating.

Yes. First-time reporters usually start with an ESG materiality assessment and a short gap assessment of current data. We then set up the data systems and build a report that you can extend each year. Your team can also build skills through our ESG courses.

Look for four things: fluency across GRI, ISSB, BRSR and CDP, assurance rigour, the ability to build a reliable data system, and in-house report design. Consultivo brings all four, as an IFC-approved, licensed AA1000 assurance provider with its own design studio. See the full range on our ESG consultant page.
