Analysis shows the ESG framework influences corporate governance and climate action in India, highlighting its role in sustainable development goals.
The evolution of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosures in India reflects thegrowing importance of sustainable and responsible business practices that transcend traditionalcorporate social responsibility practices. These practices have been driven by regulatory changes,voluntary initiatives, and the emphasis on ESG factors in corporate decision-making. Theongoing attempts to strengthen the effectiveness of ESG disclosures in India reflect a gradual butdetermined progression towards several stakeholders working together to factor ESGconsiderations into corporate practices and reporting effectively. India’s ESG framework canpotentially contribute to a legislative framework tackling climate change. Through this paper,the authors analyse the interaction between ESG and climate regulations in India with a focuson Sustainable Development Goals. This interaction between regimes in India is growing andcan be traced to India’s international commitments and national regulations. The authorsdemonstrate that the ESG framework currently interacts with both climate mitigation andclimate adaptation, operating as a potential tool to conciliate corporate climate action. Further,it can strengthen corporate governance and corporate responsibility in addressing climatechange.
