Over the last few years Indian corporations have been leveraging sustainability as a strategic differentiator to enhance stakeholder trust, bolster brand reputation and drive competitive advantage in an increasingly aware market. These socially responsible programs also have regulatory backing with the Companies Act, 2013 mandating that companies dedicate a portion of their profits to such initiatives. The Securities and Exchange Body of India requires that companies prepare the Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report, disclosing their work and commitment to ESG, while facilitating comparability across industries.

Beyond research, we, at TAC, actively collaborate with organisations to align their sustainability efforts with international best practices and statutory requirements and help these organisations proactively identify, assess, and mitigate environmental and social risks. Our structured approach of providing CSR related advisory services allows for integration of responsible business practices into operations, making sustainability an intrinsic part of decision-making and key performance indicators, rather than a compliance-driven afterthought.

Our services include:

• Evaluating existing CSR policies, procedures and frameworks to enhance alignment with international industry standards.
• Developing comprehensive CSR strategies that align with organisational philosophy, statutory requirements and global best practices.
• Designing robust monitoring and evaluation frameworks to measure the effectiveness and impact of CSR initiatives.
• Establishing systems and procedures to improve compliances with regulatory frameworks and CSR requirements.
• Conducting impact assessments of CSR programmes by using appropriate methodologies such as Social Return on Investment (SROI), to quantify the social and environmental value generated.
• Preparing sustainability reports in accordance with globally recognised reporting frameworks.
• Developing Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reports (BRSR) to support regulatory compliance and transparent stakeholder communication.
• Prepare statutory and non-statutory reports that align with prevalent global ESG reporting practices
• Providing training across the spectrum to program managers and officers of the company to help them discharge their duties more efficiently.
