ESG reporting is a way for companies to disclose information about their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices.
To address the rising demand for ESG, Resurgent India founded its arm RESPL to provide businesses with customised ESG ratings.
ESG ratings are indicators of long-term sustainability and ethical business practices.
The subsidiary RESPL provides an extensive range of services, including establishing strong ESG governance frameworks, due diligence, sustainable finance strategy guidance, specialised Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) plans, and specialised training.
RESPL projects onboarding a total of 20 clients within nine months of its operations in the fiscal year 2024-2025. It asserts that this number is expected to grow to 48 in the fiscal year 2025-2026 and further to 72 by 2026-2027.

“Stronger ESG ratings put a company in a better position to draw capital, run more efficiently, and support the economy’s sustainability as a whole. In the end, their proactive approach to controlling ESG risks would promote stability and growth in the Indian financial markets,” said the Managing Director.
The increasing emphasis on ESG transformation across the globe has led to development of ESG regulations and standards.

Companies must comply with ESG regulations based on the jurisdiction in which they operate. (ANI)
