ESG Regulatory Landscape

Q: What is the ESG regulatory landscape?

It refers to the laws, regulations, listing requirements, and standards governing ESG disclosure and assurance, which are evolving rapidly worldwide and in India with requirements expanding in scope and rigour. Understanding it means knowing what applies now and what is coming.

Q: Do ESG regulations apply to my business?

It depends on your size, listing status, sector, and business relationships. Mandatory requirements often apply first to larger listed companies, but expectations increasingly reach the wider market through supply chains, lenders, and investors. We assess what applies to you.

Q: What is BRSR and who does it apply to?

BRSR is a structured ESG disclosure requirement introduced by SEBI for specified listed companies in India. Applicability and the extent of assurance depend on current regulatory thresholds, and we help you understand whether and how it applies and how to comply.

Understand and Stay Ahead of Evolving ESG Regulations and Disclosure Requirements

The rules around ESG are developing quickly. Regulators, exchanges, and standard-setters around the world — and in India — are introducing and tightening ESG disclosure and assurance requirements, and expectations continue to broaden from the largest companies toward the wider market and supply chains. For businesses, this creates both an obligation and an opportunity: those who understand the regulatory landscape and prepare early avoid compliance risk and position themselves well, while those who wait can be caught out.

Our ESG regulatory landscape services help you understand which ESG requirements apply to you, what is on the horizon, and how to prepare — so you stay compliant and ahead of the curve. We keep you oriented in a fast-moving environment. This service connects closely with our ESG reporting frameworks, ESG assurance & certification, and overall ESG services.
