ESG in India: Growing Compliance Requirements

India's ESG regulatory framework is rapidly evolving. Foreign companies face increasing disclosure requirements.

BRSR Reporting

Mandatory for top 1000 listed companies. Covers governance, social, and environmental disclosures. Voluntary for unlisted companies but increasingly expected by investors.

Green Finance

RBI guidelines on climate-related disclosures. Green bond framework for ESG-aligned fundraising. Carbon credit trading mechanism launched.

For Foreign Companies

If your parent company follows EU CSRD or SEC climate rules, you'll likely need to collect data from your Indian subsidiary. Start building ESG data collection early.

Accountify helps companies set up ESG reporting frameworks.
