Abstract:

In the current business environment, organizations looking to achieve long-term sustainability and generate value for their stakeholders must now pay more attention to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. The environmental component of ESG focuses on reducing the environmental impact of company operations. A company's dedication to lowering its carbon footprint, saving resources, and limiting environmental harm is reflected in the environmental indicators. The different facets relating to individuals and communities are included in the social dimension of ESG. The social dimension indicators show how dedicated a business is to promoting a secure and welcoming workplace, assisting regional communities, and upholding human rights. The third ESG pillar, governance, is concerned with ethical and accountable company conduct. These economic performance indicators, which include revenue growth and profitability, economic value added, job creation and economic impact, supply chain management, product innovation, and financial transparency, reflect a company's commitment to sound corporate governance, ethical behavior, and stakeholder accountability. Economic Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) offer insightful data on a business's ability to continuously produce positive financial returns while also considering the wider societal and environmental implications of its operations. Companies can use the Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR) framework as a comprehensive platform to openly share their sustainability journey, recognize achievements, and identify areas that need improvement. Organizations show their steadfast commitment to operating in a responsible and sustainable manner by disclosing a wide range of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) KPIs. Prior to beginning the BRSR reporting process, the manufacturing and engineering company in question must identify the material challenges that are pertinent to it and define priority areas for targeted improvement. In this instance, the organization successfully developed and put into practice an ESG strategy, demonstrating its dedication to ethical business practices and sustainable development.
