The practice

Claims that hold up when a journalist reads the appendix. Sustainability communication has moved from a reputational opportunity to a regulatory and litigation exposure, and Indian listed companies now report under BRSR against a rising standard of scrutiny.

The claim is the risk

Overstated environmental claims now draw regulator attention, activist challenge and media investigation. The single most valuable service here is telling a client which claims will not survive.

Reports read by humans

BRSR compliance produces a document. A report written to be understood, with the difficult numbers explained rather than buried, does considerably more for standing than a compliant one nobody reads.

Programme before communication

If the underlying programme is thin, communication amplifies the gap rather than closing it. We will recommend delaying the campaign and fixing the programme.

Social and governance get neglected

Environmental claims dominate the conversation while labour practice, supply chain and board composition go uncommunicated, even where a company's record there is genuinely strong.

Frequently asked

ESG & Sustainability, in plain terms.

Is BRSR reporting mandatory?

It applies to the top listed companies by market capitalisation under SEBI requirements, with the scope widening. Your company secretary will confirm your obligation.

What is the greenwashing risk?

Regulatory action, advertising standards complaints, investor challenge and media investigation. In consumer categories it also carries consumer protection exposure.

Can you write the report?

We write the narrative and the explanatory sections. The data and assurance stay with your sustainability team and assurance provider.
