As ESG investing becomes more mainstream, both in developed and emerging markets, various stakeholders - from regulators to industry bodies, financial institutions and corporates - are coming together to move the needle on ESG.
This chapter highlights are some of the latest developments on this front both on the global and the domestic side.
As climate risk becomes critical in global discussions, we discuss the role of regulators in intensifying these efforts across countries, TCFD as an important tool to track these risks, and deliberate on how this space will evolve.
Until now, most regulations and government efforts have focused on the power and transportation sectors when it comes to decarbonization.
However, attention is shifting to the manufacturing sector. In this chapter, we look at a few critical sectors to understand how India aims to traverse the next 7-8 years in its efforts in energy optimisation.
As Indian companies begin their transition from BRR to BRSR reporting requirements, we delve deep into the various differences between the two in order to give readers an understanding of the ask ahead.
We also undertake a comparison of the BRSR with global reporting frameworks like GRI, SASB and TCFD to highlight the overlaps and its relevance to global investors.
In April this year, CRISIL hosted investors and lenders for a roundtable to discuss the value of ESG, practical issues around its implementation, their role in moving the ESG needle in India, and potential recommendations for regulators.
The CXOs who attended represent a significant proportion of the financial institution community and are torchbearers in the ESG and sustainability space in India. Here are some of the key insights that emerged from the discussion at the meet.
With coverage of over 550 companies, across 53 sectors, we bring to you insights never seen before with respect to the Indian ESG space.
How do the companies perform on E,S and G parameters, how unlisted companies fare against listed counterparts, how do private companies stack up vis-à-vis PSUs…all this and much more await you in this chapter.
In this chapter, we discuss the global developments in the credit ratings space and how CRISIL Ratings views ESG in its own ratings process.
In this chapter, we detail the proprietary ESG methodology used to arrive at our scores and analysis, our approach to handle unique challenges and our key differentiators, .
CRISIL’s ESG scores are designed to support financial institutions and corporates to measure and monitor inherent ESG risks across their financial exposures – both equity and debt.
They also provide standardised and sanitised ESG information, including benchmarks that can easily integrate into analysis and risk management processes.
