Frequently asked question

The Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR) is a type of report comprising non-financial information. The BRSR report contains organizational information on parameters of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and Sustainability aspects. The requirement to prepare this report is specified under Regulation 32(2)(f) of the SEBI (List ing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. According to the regulation, listed entities ranked among the top 1,000 on the stock exchange based on market capitalization are mandated to include this report as part of their annual report.

Pursuant to SEBI’s circular dated July 12, 2023, a new subset of the BRSR framework, known as BRSR Core, was introduced for assurance by listed entities. This subset includes KPIs under 9 ESG attributes tailored to the Indian and emerging market context. New KPIs such as job creation in small towns, business transparency, and gross wages paid to women were identified. Additionally, to enhance global comparability, intensity ratios based on revenue adjusted for Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) were incorporated.

Yes, however, the applicability is based on a gliding path in the manner given below. The following listed entities mentioned below are required to obtain reasonable assurance on BRSR core: ● By the financial year 2024–25: Top 250 listed entities ● By the financial year 2025–26: Top 500 listed entities ● By the financial year 2026–27: Top 1000 listed entities

NGRBC Principles have explained the term ‘stakeholders’ as individual or group concerned or interested with or impacted by the activities of the businesses and vice-versa, now or in future. Typically, stakeholders of a business include, but are not limited to, its investors/ shareholders, employees (and their families), customers, communities, value chain members and other business partners, regulators, civil society actors, and media.

BRSR requires entities to conduct internal performance reviews against ESG policy and regulatory obligations. The internal assessment can be conducted by an authorised individual, such as the company's Director, a Board committee, or another committee. The report requires that listed entities conduct independent assessments and evaluations of their policies' effectiveness. Reviewing a company's performance against the NGRBC Principles is vital since it identifies areas for improvement. External agencies can conduct assessments to ensure effective review.
