What lenders, insurers and their borrowers are being asked
Each question says who asks it and why now, and links to the service that answers it.
01
SEBI
What does your own BRSR need from branches and offices?
Listed entities file a BRSR, with BRSR Core indicators subject to reasonable assurance. For an office-based business, Scope 2 is purchased grid power and emission intensity can be reported per employee.
- Service ESG Reporting
- Service Carbon Assessment & GHG Inventory
02
International investors
Do you disclose in the language international investors read?
IFRS S1 and S2, incorporating the SASB standards, give international investors disclosure on sustainability and climate-related risk.
- Service ESG Reporting
03
Banks and NBFCs
What should a company give its bank or NBFC when asked about sustainability?
The lender wants a credible third-party position, not a brochure. An assessment with a rating certificate gives it one.
- Service ESG Assessment & SIM Rating
Where we would start
Most first engagements begin with one of these.
| What is happening | Where we would start | Service |
|---|---|---|
| You are looking to raise new investment | ESG assessment with a verified ESG score and an investor-ready summary | ESG Assessment & SIM Rating |
| A buyer or bank asked for a carbon number and you have never calculated one | A GHG inventory: 6-10 weeks for a single site with reasonable records | Carbon Assessment & GHG Inventory |
| Your board or promoter wants to know where you stand | Assessment, kept private | ESG Assessment & SIM Rating |
| We have committed to something publicly and now have to deliver it | A named sustainability lead, working inside your business, without a full-time hire | Sustainability Officer as a Service |
| Nobody has asked yet | This is the cheapest and calmest time to build the system | ESG Consulting |
What a lender receives
- A SIM score across 19 sub-pillars
- A rating certificate
- An evidence index
SIM is aligned with SEBI BRSR, GRI, SASB, ISO, the SDGs and ISSB. It is not a government certification.

How the evidence is built
Every rating we publish follows the same rules, whatever the sector.
- Unanswered questions score as unanswered, never as assumed.
- Policies, bills, registers, certificates and permits are reviewed, then checked on site: walkthrough, systems, waste and effluent, interviews.
- Every number has a trail: an evidence index with the rating, and a methodology annexure with every formula, factor and source.
