ESG & Climate

Board-ready ESG.
Climate strategy that delivers.

RSustain helps Indian enterprises and global-facing organisations translate ESG and climate expectations into board-usable decisions, measurable operational performance, and disclosures that stand up to scrutiny.

Why ESG & climate advisory matters

ESG fails when it becomes a document exercise. The organisations that win treat ESG and climate as decision systems — with governance, controls, and evidence — so disclosures remain credible and performance improves.

Better decisions. Lower risk. Faster approvals.

  • Clear ESG priorities linked to material risks and opportunities
  • Submission-ready reporting logic with defensible assumptions
  • Reduced reputational and compliance exposure through controls
  • Operational initiatives defined early, before costs escalate

When you typically need ESG & climate support

  • Listed-company disclosures and ESG governance setup
  • Funding, lender due diligence, or acquisition readiness
  • Export / supply chain ESG requirements and data requests
  • Net Zero commitments, transition plans, and internal KPIs
  • Climate risk and resilience planning for critical assets

Our ESG & climate advisory capabilities

Each block below is written to match how clients search (and how decision-makers evaluate) ESG and climate advisory — with clear scope, outputs, and practical delivery logic.

Module 1

ESG Strategy & Governance

Clarify priorities, decision rights, and how ESG links to business value and risk.

  • ESG risk register and control framework
  • Supplier ESG screening + remediation pathways
  • Internal audit checklist for ESG data and claims
Module 3

ESG Data, KPIs & Reporting System

Build a repeatable reporting engine with consistency year-on-year.

  • KPI dictionary (definitions, boundaries, logic)
  • Data workflows (owners, frequency, checks)
  • Dashboards for leadership and reporting teams
Module 4

Climate & Carbon Accounting

Quantify emissions baselines that are explainable and decision-ready.

  • Scope 1–2 baseline with activity mapping
  • Scope 3 screening and category prioritisation
  • Emission intensity KPIs for plants/business units
Module 5

Net Zero & Transition Roadmaps

Move from ambition to a phased roadmap operations can implement.

  • Target setting logic and pathways
  • Abatement levers, feasibility, sequencing
  • Capex roadmap and accountability
Module 6

Climate Risk & Resilience Planning

Translate physical risks into site-level resilience actions.

  • Heat/flood/water stress screening
  • Critical asset vulnerability review
  • Adaptation actions with priorities and timelines

Inputs required

We keep input requirements practical. If data is limited, we start with minimum viable reporting and build maturity over time.

For ESG reporting & governance

  • Organisation structure and functional owners
  • Existing policies, compliance registers, prior reports (if any)
  • Baseline ESG KPIs currently tracked
  • Supplier lists (for screening, if required)

For climate, carbon & transition planning

  • Energy/fuel consumption data and utility bills
  • Production/throughput and key process data
  • Transport/logistics data (for Scope 3 screening)
  • Site list, locations, critical assets (for climate risk)

Industries we commonly support

Built for Indian operating reality — scalable for global-facing business.

Manufacturing & Heavy Industry

Cement, metals, chemicals, industrial clusters.

Energy, Power & Utilities

Transition levers, performance and resilience planning.

Infrastructure & Real Estate

Permitting-linked ESG and asset-level risk integration.

FAQ

Do you support BRSR / BRSR Core end-to-end?
Yes — KPI definitions, data workflows, evidence packs, internal review controls, and drafting support.
We have limited data. Can we still start?
Yes. We phase delivery: minimum viable reporting → data completeness plan → controls + automation.
Do you provide dashboards and templates?
Yes — KPI libraries, trackers, evidence folders, and leadership dashboards (Excel/Google Sheets/BI based on your setup).
Do you support site-level implementation, not only reporting?
Yes. We translate ESG priorities into plant/site initiatives with owners, KPIs, timelines, and compliance linkages.
What is a typical timeline?
A diagnostic sprint can be done in ~2 weeks. Full baseline + system + roadmap typically takes 6–10 weeks.

Ready to move from reporting to performance?

Start with a short diagnostic sprint — then scale into a full ESG & climate program once priorities and data pathways are clear.
