Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between ESG, CSR, and Sustainability?

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.

Is BRSR reporting mandatory for my company in India?

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.

How does ESG affect a company's financial valuation and capital access?

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.

What specific ESG metrics do HR departments need to track?

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.

What are Scope 3 emissions in supply chain management?

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.

Will this practical workshop cover SEBI's latest regulatory changes?

Yes, the program thoroughly covers India’s ESG regulatory shift, specifically addressing the role of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) alongside the latest ESG disclosure and assurance requirements.

How do we link ESG goals to employee performance?

The workshop teaches management how to integrate ESG goals directly into daily operations and how to link these sustainability targets to concrete KPIs and corporate performance scorecards.
