THE FRAMEWORK

What a BRSR filing is actually asking for

SEBI introduced BRSR in 2021 to replace the old Business Responsibility Report, moving companies from narrative claims to standardised, quantified ESG metrics that investors can compare across a sector.

Sec. A
General disclosures
Entity details, products and operations, workforce composition, holding and subsidiary structure, and how the company handles complaints.
Sec. B
Management and process disclosures
The policies, board oversight, and governance processes the company has in place for each of the nine NGRBC principles.
Sec. C
Principle-wise performance
The actual numbers — essential indicators are mandatory for every filer, while leadership indicators are voluntary and signal a more mature programme.
NATIONAL GUIDELINES ON RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS CONDUCT

The nine principles your Section C reports against

Every essential and leadership indicator in a BRSR maps back to one of these nine principles, issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs.

P1
Conduct business with integrity, ethics, transparency and accountability
GOVERNANCE
P2
Provide goods and services that are safe and contribute to sustainability
ENVIRONMENT
P3
Promote the well-being of all employees, including value-chain workers
P4
Respect and be responsive to the interests of all stakeholders
P5
Respect and promote human rights, across operations and the value chain
P6
Respect, protect and restore the environment
ENVIRONMENT
P7
Engage in public and regulatory policy advocacy responsibly
GOVERNANCE
P8
Support inclusive growth and equitable development
P9
Engage with and provide value to consumers responsibly

HOW WE HELP

Our BRSR Services →

We work principle by principle, so every disclosure is backed by a real data source rather than a best guess at filing time.

01

Materiality and gap assessment

We map your current data against all nine principles and flag exactly which essential indicators you can't yet answer with evidence.

02

Data systems and indicator mapping

We set up the collection points — HR, EHS, procurement, finance — so each KPI has one clear owner and a repeatable source, not a spreadsheet built once a year.

03

Draft disclosures and narrative

We write Section A, B and C in SEBI's prescribed format, sector-tailored rather than templated, so the report reads as your company's, not a boilerplate.

04

Assurance readiness

For BRSR Core KPIs entering the assessment or assurance mandate, we prepare the evidence trail your external assessor will actually ask for.

05

Value-chain data collection

We help you request and validate ESG data from suppliers who are increasingly being asked for it by their own listed customers.

06

Board and principle-owner briefings

Short working sessions with the executives who own each of the nine principles, so governance disclosures reflect real oversight, not a policy on paper.
