The Chalange
Lack of Standardized ESG Reporting: Indian businesses face a lack of clear, standardized frameworks for ESG reporting, leading to inconsistencies in data presentation and difficulty in comparing performance across industries.
Understanding ESG Criteria: Many companies struggle to fully grasp the complexities of ESG factors and how to align them with their corporate strategy to attract investors and improve their market position.
Regulatory Pressure: Increasing regulatory requirements, such as the SEBI mandate for top companies to provide Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR), place pressure on businesses to meet ESG criteria.
Access to ESG Financing: While ESG investment funds are growing, many companies find it difficult to access ESG financing due to limited awareness or inadequate performance on ESG metrics.
