The Programme
Programme Overview
Introduction
Course Overview
As regulatory frameworks rapidly tighten, including mandatory BRSR reporting for the top 1000 listed companies, businesses can no longer treat sustainability as a mere PR exercise. Mismanaging ESG risks, from climate change exposure to governance failures, can lead to severe corporate fallout, restricted capital access, and significant valuation shifts.
This practical implementation workshop demystifies the current ESG landscape. It provides corporate leaders and functional heads with the actionable tools needed to integrate environmental, social, and governance metrics into their daily operations , ensuring compliance with SEBI disclosures while transforming sustainability into a competitive financial advantage.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
While closely related, ESG focuses on specific environmental, social, and governance metrics evaluated by investors. CSR involves corporate social obligations under the Companies Act, and sustainability is the broader approach to long-term business viability.
Currently, Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR) is mandatory for the top 1000 listed companies in India. However, increasing supply chain ESG expectations mean smaller vendors must also begin aligning with these frameworks.
Climate risk is increasingly viewed as financial risk by investors. Strong ESG ratings grant better capital access and sustainability-linked financing, while governance failures can lead to severe, negative corporate valuation shifts.
HR leaders are directly responsible for the “Social” aspect of ESG. This involves tracking Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) metrics, monitoring employee well-being, and executing strategies for talent attraction and employer branding.
Scope 3 emissions encompass the indirect greenhouse gas emissions within a company’s value chain. Managing this requires strict vendor ESG evaluation and implementing sustainable procurement practices.
