BRSR stands for Business Responsibility & Sustainability Reporting. It's a framework mandated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for certain listed companies to disclose their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance.

  • Mandatory - Currently, the top 1000 listed companies by market capitalization in India (as of March 31st, 2023) are required to file BRSR reports.
  • Voluntary - Other listed companies can choose to submit BRSR reports voluntarily from FY 2021-22 onwards.

The BRSR framework covers a wide range of ESG aspects, including:

  • Environment: Energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, waste management, water usage, biodiversity impact.
  • Social: Employee relations, diversity & inclusion, human rights, community engagement, product safety.
  • Governance: Corporate governance practices, board composition, anti-corruption measures, risk management.

Companies can benefit from BRSR by building trust with stakeholders, attracting socially responsible investors, and gaining a competitive advantage. BRSR also helps companies identify areas for improvement in their sustainability practices.

  • For mandatory companies, the report needs to be submitted as part of the annual report for FY 2023-24, due by July 31st, 2024.
  • Voluntary companies can submit any time.
