What it is

BRSR Principle-Wise Guide, without the jargon

BRSR is organised around the nine principles of the National Guidelines on Responsible Business Conduct — covering ethics, product stewardship, employee wellbeing, stakeholder engagement, human rights, environment, policy advocacy, inclusive growth and consumer value. A principle-wise guide translates each into the essential, leadership and comply-or-explain indicators companies must address.
