What is BRSR?
BRSR, or Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting, is a reporting framework mandated by SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India) that integrates Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance with corporate disclosures. It replaces the earlier Business Responsibility Report (BRR) and is now mandatory for the top 1000 listed companies in India.
Whether you’re seeking to enhance ESG transparency, improve investor trust, or meet SEBI’s sustainability mandates, Growlity helps you file your BRSR report smoothly and effectively.
