Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting is the ESG disclosure framework introduced by the Securities and Exchange Board of India for the top 1,000 listed companies. It gives organisations a structured, transparent and standardised way to report their Environmental, Social and Governance performance.
For those thousand companies it is not optional, and the disclosure goes to investors and regulators who will read it closely. This two-day course covers SEBI's requirements and structure, the Nine Principles, stakeholder engagement and materiality, the data and KPI systems behind the numbers, and how to produce disclosures that stand up to assurance. Expert-led sessions, real case studies, group discussion and a workshop drafting a sample BRSR report run throughout.

Who Should Attend
BRSR or ESG
You have a SEBI filing to produce. The focus is the Indian regulatory framework, the Nine Principles and a disclosure that will be verified.
You are building the underlying programme: the strategy, the governance structures and the KPIs that a BRSR disclosure eventually reports on.
Many organisations need both, in that order. Tell our team where you are and what you have been asked to file, and we will tell you honestly which to start with.
