Abstract
The evolution of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosures in India reflects the growing importance of sustainable and responsible business practices that transcend traditional corporate social responsibility practices. These practices have been driven by regulatory changes, voluntary initiatives, and the emphasis on ESG factors in corporate decision-making. The ongoing attempts to strengthen the effectiveness of ESG disclosures in India reflect a gradual but determined progression towards several stakeholders working together to factor ESG considerations into corporate practices and reporting effectively. India’s ESG framework can potentially 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 focus on Sustainable Development Goals. This interaction between regimes in India is growing and can be traced to India’s international commitments and national regulations. The authors demonstrate that the ESG framework currently interacts with both climate mitigation and climate adaptation, operating as a potential tool to conciliate corporate climate action. Further, it can strengthen corporate governance and corporate responsibility in addressing climate change
