ESG & BRSR for Retail & E-commerce, built around what's material.
ESG isn't one checklist. We focus on the topics that actually move the needle for retail & e-commerce companies — then handle the carbon accounting, BRSR reporting and certifications.
The topics that actually matter here
For retail the vast majority of impact is Scope 3 — the products and packaging it sells — making value-chain data the ESG battleground.
ESG scoring, BRSR performance disclosures and buyer audits all reward the same thing: credible data on your material topics. For retail & e-commerce companies, that means:
- Supply-chain (Scope 3) emissions
- Packaging
- Product sourcing
- Value-chain labour
The mistake we see: Reporting store-level (Scope 1–2) emissions while the material Scope 3 supply chain goes unmeasured.
How we handle ESG for retail & e-commerce companies
We pin down the ESG topics that actually matter for your Retail & E-commerce operation — and where you stand today.
We build your GHG inventory across Scope 1, 2 and the material Scope 3 categories, from real data — not defaults.
We prepare and file your BRSR (or GRI / chosen framework) disclosures across the nine NGRBC principles.
We get you assurance- and audit-ready — BRSR Core assurance, or GRS / RCS / ISCC where they apply.
