The Global ESG Landscape for Indian Business
Indian companies operating in global markets face a complex web of international ESG requirements. The EU CSRD now reaches into the supply chains of Indian exporters. CDP questionnaires are increasingly a prerequisite for investor relations and procurement. TCFD climate risk disclosure has been adopted by regulators across the world. And SEC climate rules affect Indian companies listed in the US or with significant US operations.
Being BRSR-compliant is necessary but no longer sufficient for global markets. Companies that export to Europe, supply multinational OEMs, or raise capital internationally must now satisfy multiple overlapping disclosure frameworks — each with its own data requirements, materiality standards, and reporting timelines.
O₂log helps Indian companies navigate this landscape with a unified approach: one data collection system, multiple compliant outputs.
International Frameworks We Navigate
-
EU CSRD / ESRS
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive affects Indian companies in EU supply chains — particularly in textiles, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and automotive manufacturing. We help you meet ESRS data requirements including double materiality assessments and value chain emissions. CSRD guide for Indian exporters
-
CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project)
Once voluntary, CDP disclosure is increasingly a procurement requirement from global buyers and a factor in ESG ratings. We help Indian companies complete CDP questionnaires for climate change, water security, and forests — with data that aligns with your BRSR filings.
-
TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures)
TCFD recommendations have been adopted by regulators in the UK, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and others. Indian companies with global stakeholders need climate risk governance, scenario analysis, and transition planning — all areas where we provide deep expertise.
-
SEC Climate Rules
For Indian companies listed on US exchanges or with significant US operations, SEC climate disclosure rules require detailed reporting on Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, climate risk management, and governance structures. We help you build compliant reporting systems.
-
Singapore Exchange (SGX) ESG
Indian companies trading through the ASEAN corridor or listed on SGX must comply with Singapore Exchange ESG reporting requirements. We align your existing ESG data with SGX's mandatory climate reporting standards.
-
UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Alignment with UN SDGs is increasingly expected for impact reporting by global investors, development finance institutions, and ESG rating agencies. We map your sustainability initiatives to relevant SDG targets with measurable KPIs.
Who This Is For
- Indian exporters to the EU — textile mills, chemical manufacturers, pharma companies, and auto component makers now subject to EU CSRD supply chain due diligence
- MNC subsidiaries in India — Indian operations of multinational companies needing to report to parent-company ESG frameworks
- Dual-listed companies (NSE + international) — companies listed on both Indian and international exchanges, needing to satisfy multiple regulators simultaneously
- Companies in global supply chains — tier 1 and tier 2 suppliers to global OEMs facing ESG questionnaires and audit requirements
- Firms seeking international ESG ratings — companies targeting improved scores from MSCI, Sustainalytics, S&P Global CSA, and other ESG rating agencies
Our Approach: BRSR + Global
We don't make you report twice. Indian companies already collecting data for BRSR (mandated by SEBI) have a strong foundation — but international frameworks like CSRD/ESRS require additional data points, especially around Scope 3 value chain emissions, double materiality assessments, and climate transition plans.
Our approach builds a unified data collection system that satisfies both BRSR (for SEBI) and international requirements (CSRD, CDP, TCFD) from the same underlying data. One data infrastructure, one audit process, multiple compliant reports — saving time, reducing costs, and eliminating duplication.
We also help companies develop net-zero transition plans aligned with SBTi targets, which are increasingly required by international frameworks and expected by global investors.

Frequently Asked Questions
We bridge Indian regulations (BRSR) with global standards (CSRD, CDP, TCFD, SEC). We help exporters, MNC subsidiaries, and globally listed companies meet multiple disclosure requirements simultaneously — using a unified data collection approach that eliminates duplication.
EU CSRD (for EU supply chain partners), CDP (voluntary but increasingly expected by investors), TCFD (climate risk disclosure), SEC Climate Rules (for US-listed companies), and Singapore Exchange ESG requirements. The specific standards that apply depend on your markets, listing status, and supply chain relationships.
Partially. BRSR covers many ESG topics but international frameworks like CSRD/ESRS require additional data — especially Scope 3 value chain emissions, double materiality assessments, and transition plans. We help companies bridge these gaps efficiently.
Our core expertise is helping India-based companies meet international ESG requirements. We understand Indian industrial operations, regulatory landscape, and supply chain structures — combined with deep knowledge of global frameworks. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.
