Make ESG Reporting Clear, Credible and Actionable
Sustainability reporting is no longer a stand-alone annual communication exercise. Investors, regulators, customers and supply-chain partners increasingly expect transparent, comparable and decision-useful environmental, social and governance information.
The challenge is not simply producing more data. It is identifying which disclosure requirements apply, establishing reliable data ownership, preventing duplication across frameworks and creating a report that can withstand stakeholder and assurance scrutiny.
Our ESG advisory services help you move from fragmented spreadsheets and last-minute reporting to a structured disclosure programme built around material issues, clear controls and accountable data owners.

- Materiality & Double-Materiality Assessment — Prioritise sustainability impacts, risks and opportunities through a defensible stakeholder and evidence-based process.

ESG Reporting Frameworks We Support
| Framework | Best suited for | Primary reporting focus |

FAQs
What are ESG advisory services?
ESG advisory services help organisations identify relevant sustainability requirements, assess material topics, establish data systems, prepare disclosures and improve assurance readiness.
Which ESG reporting framework should our company use?
The right framework depends on jurisdiction, listing status, investor expectations, industry and stakeholder needs. Many companies combine GRI for impact reporting with investor- or regulation-focused requirements such as ISSB, BRSR or ESRS.
What is the difference between GRI and ISSB?
GRI focuses on an organisation’s impacts on the economy, environment and people. ISSB focuses on sustainability-related risks and opportunities that are useful to investors and capital markets.
Is TCFD still relevant?
TCFD disbanded in October 2023 after its recommendations were incorporated into the ISSB Standards. Some regulators and organisations may still reference TCFD, while others are transitioning to IFRS S1 and IFRS S2.
What is BRSR Core?
BRSR Core is a focused set of ESG KPIs within India’s BRSR framework, supported by SEBI requirements relating to assurance or assessment and value-chain disclosures for applicable listed entities.
How long does ESG report preparation take?
Timing depends on scope, number of entities, data maturity, framework requirements and assurance needs. An initial gap assessment helps establish a realistic reporting plan.
Can one ESG data system support several frameworks?
Yes. A well-designed KPI dictionary and disclosure map can reuse controlled data across several frameworks while preserving each standard’s required context.
How do we prepare ESG data for assurance?
Define calculation methodologies, assign data owners, retain evidence, document approvals and perform internal consistency checks before engaging an independent assurance provider.
