What it is

BRSR Applicability Assessment, without the jargon

BRSR applicability is driven by a company’s market-capitalisation rank among listed entities, with the mandate covering the top companies and phased thresholds for Core assurance and value-chain disclosures. An applicability assessment confirms your obligation, the relevant reporting year and the scope of assured and comply-or-explain elements.

Why it matters

Why company secretaries act on this

  • Market-cap rank changes, so applicability must be re-checked each year
  • Core assurance and value-chain duties phase in at different thresholds
  • Knowing your exact obligation prevents both under- and over-reporting
