ESG Official Resources
A curated pointer to the authoritative bodies and standards behind ESG reporting.
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.
Why sustainability act on this
- Credible ESG work must trace back to authoritative sources
- Standards and requirements change, so primary references matter
- It helps teams distinguish official rules from opinion
