1. In the corporate world, Sustainability Reporting has become crucial

2. Sustainability reporting has become an essential aspect of corporate responsibility in India. With increasing awareness about environmental and social issues, companies are expected to go beyond just financial performance and disclose their impact on the environment and society. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has made it mandatory for the top 100 companies listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange to disclose their sustainability performance in their annual reports. This move has led to an increase in the number of sustainability reports published by Indian companies. These reports cover various aspects such as energy efficiency, waste management, social and labour practices, and community development. Overall, sustainability reporting in India is gradually gaining momentum and helping companies to align their business strategies with environmental and social goals. As a sustainability reporting consultant, our role would be to help organizations develop and implement sustainability reporting practices that align with international standards and guidelines. We would work closely with companies to assess their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance and help them communicate this information to stakeholders, including investors, customers, and employees. Our work may involve: 1. Carrying out sustainability analyses In order to do this, the ESG performance of a company must be examined, and potential improvement areas must be found. To assess the company's governance processes, social responsibility, and influence on the environment, we would employ a variety of instruments and methods. 2. Creating strategies for sustainability A company's sustainability plan would be developed in collaboration with them once we have evaluated their sustainability performance and determined whether it aligns with their business goals and stakeholder expectations. This can entail finding fresh ways to lessen their influence on the environment, enhance the working conditions for their employees, or

3. increase the openness of their supply chains. 3. Putting in place reporting frameworks: The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board are two examples of internationally renowned sustainability reporting frameworks that we would assist businesses in implementing (SASB). This entails creating templates for reporting, gathering information, and making sure the sustainability report of the company complies with these guidelines. 4. Interaction with stakeholders and communication We would support businesses in exposing sustainability report to their stakeholders, customers, employees, investors, and the general public, and how well they were performing in terms of sustainability. In order to do this, you need to create messages, make presentations, and work with outside stakeholders.
