Holistic solutions for sustainable business outcomes
In today's interconnected world, businesses are driven by a value-led purpose, incorporating environment, social, and governance (ESG) principles into their core activities to meet business objectives and stakeholder expectations.
Organisations are undergoing significant transformations, driven by the growing global emphasis on ESG and sustainability, to create long-term shareholder value. With mounting pressure from governments, regulators, consumers and investors, companies face increasing demand to prioritise sustainable practices.
An essential part of the ESG spectrum is social responsibility of organisations. Grant Thornton Bharat helps map, evaluate and document the impact of their social initiatives through research, assessments, management and strategic consulting.
We offer specialised consulting services to businesses, leveraging deep industry knowledge and AI technology through our partnership with GovEVA. Our tailored approach aligns operations with sustainable goals, enhancing reputation and customer loyalty for sustained profitability. Committed to building Vibrant Bharat, sustainable communities, we provide guidance on ESG frameworks and regulations.

The demand for transparency on sustainable and socially responsible practices is increasing rapidly. Today, stakeholders such as investors, customers, employees, suppliers, media and NGOs want to evaluate a company’s global impact with an increased focus on sustainable investments and long-term growth.
This is where ESG analysis and reporting can provide valuable insights and help create value for stakeholders. It can significantly impact a company’s financial metrics and enable investment and managerial decisions that shape an organisation’s future.
To meet the evolving challenges in the ESG landscape, we have forged a strategic collaboration with GovEVA, merging their technological expertise with our rigorous reviews and strategic acumen. This collaboration is designed to offer a comprehensive and effective approach to address the complexities of ESG challenges. The integration of technology and strategic insight ensures a holistic solution that goes beyond mere compliance, creating lasting value for all stakeholders involved.
We offer a range of services across all three spectrums of ESG:
In today's scrutinised business environment, sustainability, ESG, CSR and non-financial reporting are essential for investor confidence and stakeholder trust. By providing reliable, independently verified information, your organisation demonstrates leadership in transparency and accountability.
Our ESG due diligence reviews assess a target company’s adherence to both national and international legislation, as well as non-codified stakeholder norms and expectations. This comprehensive evaluation highlights the company’s ESG compliance status and identifies areas for improvement.
In tandem, our EHS consulting services focus on evaluating and enhancing EHS management systems and assurance frameworks in accordance with ISO standards. We also assist with EHS risk assessments, conduct gap analyses against legislation and internal policies, and provide guidance on resource efficiency and waste management.
Investors increasingly prioritise standardised ESG information to understand a company’s long-term value creation plan. They encourage the integration of ESG considerations into the strategy, emphasising the importance of a robust ESG strategy to achieve goals.
GovEVA’s tool facilitates discussions for short and long-term strategic roadmaps, drawing insights from current state and gap analysis. It seamlessly supports the tracking, monitoring and reporting of the created roadmap, providing a comprehensive solution aligned with investors’ expectations.
Materiality assessments engage stakeholders in determining the importance of critical ESG issues for business. Findings shape the ESG strategy and advocacy.
Digitally-enabled assessments can be conducted anytime, prioritising relevant ESG parameters. The system operates on double materiality, ensuring an inclusive process for determining priorities.
GHG inventorisation enables a company to monitor and control energy consumption and GHG emissions (CO2, NO2, CH4, etc.) through the life cycle of their business and products. The solution incorporates GHG emission calculators for real-time data monitoring and presents insights through a dynamic dashboard display.
Taking into account the long-term planning and CO2e emission reduction objectives of a company, decarbonisation assists companies in identifying and implementing the solutions required to decarbonise their operations.
An ESG rating is targeted to help investors consider the unmeasured or unrepresented ESG topics when making investment decisions. Companies that score well on ESG metrics are believed to anticipate future risks and opportunities better, be more disposed to longer-term strategic thinking and focus on long-term value creation.
