Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• Data correctness and reliability concerns with BRSR reporting
• Wide divergence in environmental scores within the same industry
• Lack of initiatives or disclosures on key environmental parameters (renewable energy, air emissions, effluents, waste management) in some companies
• Low scores on environmental factors (E) compared to social (S) and governance (G) factors
• Inconsistent performance across ESG parameters pulling down overall scores
• Inadequate disclosures on Scope 3 emissions
• Low disclosure rates on energy management systems
• Low disclosure rates on Life Cycle Assessments (LCA)
• Low disclosure rates on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)
• Low disclosure rates on targets for energy and water consumption reduction
• Low disclosure rates on targets for GHG emission reduction
• Low disclosure rates on waste management targets
• High divergence in scores on indirect environmental impact for banks and insurance companies
• Low disclosure rates on human rights training for non-permanent workforce
• High employee turnover rates in some sectors
• Low skill upgradation training coverage for workers
• Material gap in median remuneration of male and female workforce in many companies
• High number of sexual harassment complaints in some sectors
• Inconsistencies in waste data reporting (recovered/disposed waste exceeding total waste generated)

Mitigation Strategies

• Introduction of BRSR improved data availability
• Companies are making extra disclosures on a voluntary basis to mitigate negative environmental impact
• Increased awareness and focus on ESG issues
• Companies are taking steps to improve disclosures and performance on E&S parameters
• Companies are setting targets and taking initiatives to address environmental challenges
• SEBI's initiatives on better disclosure practices
