Does BRSR Compass cover BRSR Core indicators?

Yes. BRSR Compass covers all BRSR Core KPIs that are subject to reasonable assurance requirements for the top 150 listed companies.

What is BRSR?

The Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) is a mandatory ESG disclosure framework introduced by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) in 2021. It replaced the older Business Responsibility Report (BRR) and became mandatory for the top 1,000 listed companies by market capitalisation from FY 2022–23.

BRSR is structured into three sections: Section A (company overview and general disclosures), Section B (management and process disclosures across the 9 NGRBC Principles), and Section C (principle-wise performance indicators split into Essential and Leadership indicators). From FY 2023–24, SEBI introduced BRSR Core — a subset of 9 key performance indicators that must undergo reasonable assurance by an independent assurance provider.

Key frameworks that complement BRSR include GRI Standards, TCFD, CDP, SASB, and the Indian Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS). Listed companies must file BRSR annually with BSE and NSE, and the report is publicly available on exchange websites.

For FY 2025–26, SEBI has expanded the BRSR Core assurance requirement to the top 500 companies, with the top 150 requiring reasonable assurance on all BRSR Core KPIs.
