ESG Courses for India: BRSR, CCTS & Sustainability Certification

BRSR (Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting) is SEBI's mandatory ESG disclosure framework for all listed companies in India. Since FY 2022-23, the top 1,000 listed companies must file BRSR reports. BRSR Core with assurance applies to the top 150 companies from FY 2023-24, expanding to top 1,000 by FY 2026-27. Training ensures your team can correctly prepare Section A (company overview), Section B (management principles), and the detailed Section C disclosures across all 9 NGRBC principles.

The CCTS is India's compliance carbon market established under the Energy Conservation Act 2001 (amended 2022) and CCTS Rules 2023. Administered by BEE, it creates a market for Carbon Credit Certificates (CCCs) that obligated entities must purchase to meet emission intensity targets. The scheme builds on the PAT (Perform, Achieve, Trade) mechanism and covers 300+ industrial facilities. RSustain's CCTS course covers compliance obligations, GHG accounting for Indian industry, MRV requirements, and trading strategies.

Key deadlines: BRSR filing with annual report (within 60 days of AGM). BRSR Core assurance: mandatory for top 150 (FY 2023-24), top 500 (FY 2025-26), and top 1,000 (FY 2026-27). The value chain component of BRSR Core becomes mandatory from FY 2025-26. Companies should also prepare for ISSB alignment through ISSAI.
