What it is

BRSR Value-Chain Disclosures, without the jargon

SEBI requires value-chain disclosures on the BRSR Core KPIs for a company’s significant upstream and downstream partners, on a comply-or-explain basis and phased for the largest companies. It pushes ESG measurement beyond the reporting entity into the partners that account for a material share of purchases and sales.

Why it matters

Why procurement act on this

  • Value-chain Core disclosure is a comply-or-explain SEBI expectation, phased in
  • A large share of ESG impact often sits outside the reporting entity itself
  • Engaging significant partners early avoids scrambling for their data at filing
