What it is

ESG Official Resources, without the jargon

This resource describes where the rules and methods actually come from — SEBI for BRSR in India, the GHG Protocol for emissions accounting, GRI and the ISSB for reporting standards, the SBTi for target validation and CDP for environmental disclosure — so teams work from primary sources rather than second-hand summaries.
