Our ESG Journey
At N.S. Bhargava & Co., we’ve always believed that our role as a Chartered Accountants firm goes far beyond compliance. It’s about being responsible partners in progress. Over the past four decades, we’ve worked with nearly every major bank in India. You name it & we’ve served them. Our credibility in the banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) sector has been built on consistency, accuracy, and trust.
But we knew our job wasn’t just to audit and report. The world is changing, and so must we.
About a year ago, a thought began to take root within the firm: What if we could do more? What if we could contribute not just to the financial strength of our clients, but also to their environmental, social, and governance strength?
That’s when the idea of ESG at N. S. Bhargava & Co. truly began.
We realized that our own internal practices and those of our clients must evolve to reflect global sustainability expectations. And so, we made the conscious decision to go beyond traditional CA services.
We created a dedicated ESG department, bringing together a specialized team to support businesses with sustainability strategy, ESG reporting, and climate risk assessments. This wasn’t just an expansion of services—it was a transformation in mindset.
We began assessing our own company’s impact, aligning with global standards like the United Nation Sustainable Development Goals, and offering ESG guidance to clients across industries.
At N. S. Bhargava & Co., ESG is not an offering. It’s a responsibility.
