A sustainability report is not a brochure
It is a disclosure document. Regulators, auditors, lenders, investors, buyers and increasingly your own customers will read it looking for numbers, and they will notice if the numbers are not there or do not add up.
We build reports from verified data upwards. That means the assessment and data work comes first, and the writing comes last.
Book a consultationWho needs a report, and why now
| Your situation | What is expected of you |
|---|---|
| You are a listed company in India | SEBI requires the Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR), with a smaller set of BRSR Core indicators subject to assurance. |
| You supply a listed company | Your customer needs value chain data from you to complete their own disclosure. This increasingly arrives as a hard deadline, not a request. |
| You export, particularly to the EU | Buyers are asking for carbon data, deforestation-free sourcing evidence and social compliance audits as a condition of continuing to trade. |
| You are raising capital or being acquired | Investors and acquirers run ESG due diligence. A credible report shortens that process considerably. |
| A hospital, institution or large private company with no mandate | Nothing is compulsory, but insurers, lenders, corporate clients and accreditation bodies are asking. Voluntary reporting is how you get ahead of it. |
| Nobody has asked yet | This is the cheapest and calmest time to build the system. Everything after this happens under a deadline. |
Which framework applies to you
| Framework | Who it is for | What it gets you |
|---|---|---|
| BRSR / BRSR Core | Listed Indian companies and their suppliers | The Indian regulatory requirement. Non-negotiable if it applies to you. |
| GRI Standards 2021 | Any company, especially with global buyers | The most widely recognised international reporting language. |
| IFRS S1 & S2 (ISSB) | Companies with international investors | Investor-focused disclosure on sustainability and climate risk. |
| Buyer or customer format | Suppliers filling in a specific brand’s template | Getting through vendor onboarding. Narrow, but usually the most urgent. |
| Voluntary report | Unlisted companies with no mandate yet | Credibility with banks, buyers and staff, on your own timetable. |
How we build your report
Every report follows the same discipline, whatever the framework.
- Scope and boundary — which entities, which sites, which period
- Materiality assessment — what genuinely matters to your business and stakeholders
- Data collection — structured against every disclosure the framework requires
- Validation — every number cross-checked against bills, registers and site observation
- Drafting — written for the people who will read it, methodology in annexures
- Design and delivery — a publication-ready document, plus data book and evidence pack
Assurance readiness
If your report needs to be assured, the assurance provider will ask for the trail behind every number. We build that trail as we go, mapped to the evidence standards assurance providers work to.

Case study — Healthcare
Multi-facility hospital group, Kerala
The engagement
A full engagement cycle across several facilities: as-is assessment, materiality assessment, ESG strategic framework and sustainability report.
The problem
ESG data sat across clinical, engineering, housekeeping, HR and procurement with no single owner.
What we did
The report was built alongside the materiality assessment, so the disclosures reflected what patients, staff and the community actually cared about, not a generic checklist of topics.
Also delivered
A GRI-referenced ESG report with independent limited assurance for an Ayurvedic teaching hospital in Coimbatore, an inaugural GRI-aligned report for a Kozhikode footwear manufacturer, and an event sustainability report for a major Kerala technology and startup event.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a report take?
For a first report with no existing data system, plan for three to four months. If the assessment and data collection have already been done, the report itself takes six to eight weeks.
We already have a draft. Can you just review it?
Yes. We do standalone reviews, gap analyses against BRSR or GRI, and pre-assurance readiness checks.
Do you write the report or do we?
We write it. You review, correct and approve. The disclosures are yours, so nothing is published without your sign-off.
What if our data has gaps?
We flag them in the report rather than filling them in.
Can you also handle the design?
Yes. You receive a designed, publication-ready document.
