This is CRISIL’s third ESG Report in continuation to our inaugural ESG Report 2021. This report outlines CRISIL’s performance in all the three domains – E (Environment), S (Social) and G (Governance) during the calendar year 2023. All the metrics stated in this report pertain to calendar year 2023 unless stated otherwise.
We are in the services business, specialising in research and analytics. Our solutions and services rely more on intellectual, rather than physical assets. We do not have any manufacturing facilities. Thus, among the ESG themes, the governance and social factors and their respective impacts are more relevant to us. Most of our operations are leased offices with limited opportunity to impact the energy footprint. However, we have taken efforts to switch to green energy at our owned offices and undertake tree plantation to contribute to environment sustainability.
Refer to the Materiality Assessment section of this report.
The ESG report is prepared with reference to global frameworks namely the Global Reporting Initiative Standards (GRI) and Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and the Indian Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR) framework issued by SEBI. This Report in conjunction with our Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report and ESG Databook (also forms a part of CRISIL Annual Report 2023) and the GRI and SASB indices, is a reflection of our initiatives and outcomes towards building a sustainable culture within our organization.
In 2023, our ESG processes were subject to an internal audit, followed by an external assurance process, making our ESG efforts more robust.
