Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA)

The MCA introduced voluntary guidelines on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in 2009, laying the groundwork for ESG reporting in India. Subsequent guidelines, such as the National Guidelines on Responsible Business Conduct (NGRBC) and Business Responsibility Reporting (BRR), emphasize the importance of sustainable practices.

Companies Act 2013

This Act mandates Indian companies to disclose information related to energy conservation and other ESG factors in their annual reports. Directors are required to act in good faith to promote the interests of stakeholders, including employees, the community, and the environment.

Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI)

SEBI has introduced guidelines for ESG reporting, including the Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR) framework for listed entities. The BRSR requires disclosures on performance against nine principles, driving transparency and accountability.

Other Regulatory Bodies

Regulatory entities like the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDAI) have also published guidelines for ESG reporting in their respective sectors, further emphasizing the need for compliance.
