KCM, since its foundation in 1958, has held integrity as an intrinsic and an immutable part of its professional practice. We believe that this principle adopted by us wholly complements our ESG advisory and assurance practice.
A paradigm shift is coming in the way businesses are perceived by various stakeholders, including potential investors. It is becoming essential for a business to disclose its efforts towards creating value in Environment, Society and Governance. Private equity firms are increasingly looking more favourably towards businesses which have higher ESG rating, and it is anticipated that soon, a higher ESG score would become an uncompromising condition for attracting investors.
With the introduction of the Environment, Social & Governance (ESG) mandate by SEBI, top 1000 listed companies are already required to file a Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (“BRSR”) through which such companies can disclose their value creating measures in the aspects of Environment, Society & Governance.
