BRSR Core Assurance FAQ
What are the 9 BRSR Core ESG attributes?
Environment: (1) GHG emissions, (2) Water, (3) Waste, (4) Energy. Social: (5) Workforce details, (6) Gender diversity, (7) Health & safety. Governance: (8) Board diversity, (9) Ethical conduct. These 9 attributes contain approximately 49 KPIs requiring independent assurance.
Is this programme the assurance itself?
No. This is an assurance preparation programme that gets your data, evidence trails, and documentation ready for independent third-party assurance. The actual assurance must be conducted by a separate independent provider.
When should we start preparing?
Start at least 6 months before your planned assurance engagement — ideally Q3 of the reporting year. The 12-week Sprint covers data collection, methodology documentation, evidence compilation, internal review, and dry-run testing.
What documentation is needed?
For each KPI: (1) source data records, (2) documented calculation methodology, (3) internal review sign-offs, (4) year-on-year trend data with explanations, (5) management representations. Our Pre-Assurance Validator checks 92 common gaps.
My company is ranked 500-1,000. Do we need this now?
Yes. From FY 2026-27 (current year), SEBI requires BRSR Core assurance for the top 1,000 listed companies. Starting preparation now ensures you meet the deadline without last-minute data quality issues.
