The BRSR framework requires listed companies to disclose their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance, along with other sustainability-related information in their annual reports.
The BRSR framework aims to encourage companies to take responsibility for their social and environmental impact, and to make sustainable development an integral part of their business strategy. It also seeks to enhance transparency and accountability in corporate reporting.
Under the BRSR framework, listed companies are required to report on a set of indicators across four broad themes:
Environment
Social
Governance
Stakeholder Engagement
The indicators cover a range of topics, including climate change, energy consumption, waste management, employee diversity, human rights, board diversity, executive compensation, and community development.
Listed companies are required to disclose their performance against these indicators in their annual reports. They are also required to provide an explanation of their policies, practices, and initiatives related to sustainability and ESG issues.
