ESG, BRSR & CSR Advisory
Advisory and assurance support to organisations seeking to strengthen sustainability reporting, governance, and social responsibility practices. SEBI's Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) requirements have made structured ESG disclosure a statutory obligation for listed companies, and CSR compliance under Section 135 of the Companies Act has its own distinct verification and reporting requirements. Our partners hold BRSR and CSR certifications from ICAI.
Who This Is For
Listed companies with BRSR disclosure obligations, companies with CSR spending requirements under Section 135, and organisations seeking to strengthen their ESG governance and sustainability reporting ahead of regulatory or investor requirements.

Our Approach
Assess current obligations and gaps.
BRSR disclosure requirements, CSR spending obligations, and ESG governance expectations vary by company size, listing status, and industry. We start by mapping what actually applies to your organisation.
Build the reporting or compliance structure.
For BRSR, that means helping you collect, verify, and present sustainability data in the required format. For CSR, it means ensuring spending is compliant, documented, and verifiable. For ESG due diligence, it means assessing a target or programme against established frameworks.
Review and verify for credibility.
ESG and sustainability data is increasingly subject to external scrutiny - from investors, lenders, and regulators. We review and verify the data and disclosures you present, not just help you compile them.
