Chances are one of these is true.

Where are you right now?

01First cycle this year

Your first BRSR Core assessment is this year

FY 2026-27 is the year BRSR Core assessment or assurance reaches all of India's top 1,000 listed companies. Many mid-caps go through it for the first time, with data built for filing, not for testing.


Know your gaps before the assurer does.

02No trail to source

Your numbers can't be traced back to source

The BRSR shows a total, but nobody can point to the meter reading, invoice or HR record behind it. The data usually still runs on spreadsheets, the gap behind BRSR compliance on spreadsheets.


Every KPI traced to its evidence.

03Open findings

Last year's findings are still open

The assurer flagged missing evidence and undocumented methods, and the same data process runs again this year. Findings that aren't fixed at the system level tend to return in the next cycle.


Findings closed, not just noted.

What you get from this work.

ESG Audit Services Before Independent Assurance

Our ESG audit services cover the ESG data audit and pre-assurance review that sit before your independent assessment or assurance. Each piece can run standalone or as one connected engagement.

BRSR Core Readiness Assessment

Where you stand on all nine BRSR Core attributes, before testing starts.

Applicability checkAttribute mappingData owner mapReadiness score

We map each of the nine BRSR Core attributes to the data, owner and evidence behind it, and confirm which indicators apply to you. A BRSR Core readiness assessment shows exactly where an assessor or assurer would stop.

Data Traceability & Testing

Reported values traced back to meters, invoices and records.

Sample selectionSource tracingRecalculationVariance log

We pick samples across sites and periods, trace each reported value to its source document and recompute it. Differences are logged with their cause, so you know whether the issue is the data, the method or the evidence.

Controls & Methodology Review

How each figure is calculated, approved and changed.

Calculation methodsEmission factorsApproval controlsChange history

We check that calculation methods, emission factors and approval steps are documented and actually followed. For teams that need wider governance work, this pairs with our technical compliance and governance services.

Gap Remediation

Gaps fixed at the system level, not patched in a spreadsheet.

Ranked gap reportEvidence linkingWorkflow fixesRe-test before handover

Most ESG audit providers stop at the gap report. Our engineers rebuild the collection workflows, evidence links and integrations behind each gap, drawing on Zethic's data engineering services, then re-test them.

ESG audit services that end with fixes, not just findings

We audit and fix in one team

Gap reports often sit unresolved because the advisor can't change the systems. Our engineers fix the workflows and evidence links they audit.

Clear about the assurer's role

We prepare you for assessment or assurance. The opinion itself comes from an independent provider, and we never blur that line.

Method shown before we start

You see the attributes in scope, the sample plan and how findings are ranked before the first test, so nothing comes as a surprise.

We build ESG systems already

Zethic builds its own ESG data management software and is an initiating partner in the OpenESGData partnership.

FAQs for ESG Audit Services

They review how your ESG data is collected, calculated and evidenced before an independent assessment or assurance: applicability checks, source tracing, sample testing, a controls review and a gap report. Many providers stop there. We can also fix the gaps through our ESG software development services.

No. BRSR Core assessment or assurance has to come from an independent provider. An ESG pre-assurance audit is a readiness check that finds and fixes gaps first, so the formal engagement raises fewer findings.

It maps each of the nine BRSR Core attributes to the data, owner and evidence behind it, and shows which indicators would not hold up under testing today.

A gap assessment compares your disclosures with what a framework asks for. An ESG data audit goes further: it tests the numbers by tracing samples back to source and recomputing them.

Ideally one to two quarters before your assessor or assurer starts, so there is time to fix what the audit finds. Teams that test only at year end usually have no time left to remediate.

Yes, if you report it. SEBI made value chain disclosures and their assessment or assurance voluntary in March 2025, but many buyers still ask suppliers for this data, and it gets the same tracing as your own.

Yes. We audit data wherever it sits, including spreadsheets, ERP exports and ESG platforms, and trace it back to source records either way. Spreadsheet-based reporting is where most gaps appear, which is usually why ESG reporting breaks down.

It depends on the number of entities, sites and attributes in scope, and on the sample size. We scope the audit first and send a fixed quote before any testing starts.
