Benchmark map
What did real BRSR filers actually disclose?
BRSR's own format tells you what to fill in — it doesn't tell you what "normal" looks like. This maps real disclosure patterns from an independent analysis of 982 of India's top 1,000 listed companies' actual FY 2024-25 filings, across 22 sectors — so you can see where your sector peers are strong, where they're weak, and where "everyone" is quietly under-disclosing something.

Showing all-sector findings from 982 companies across 22 sectors, FY 2024-25.
P1 — Ethics & governance
See in BRSR wizard →99.4% of companies have adopted a business-ethics/anti-corruption policy — the highest policy-adoption rate of any BRSR principle. But only 10.08% reach "best practice" quality specifically on conflict-of-interest disclosure — near-universal policy adoption, far shallower actual disclosure depth.

P3 — Employee well-being
See in BRSR wizard →33.10% of companies report at least one employee fatality this year — yet 87-88% report zero OHS (occupational health & safety) complaints, an inconsistency the report itself flags as likely underreporting rather than a genuinely safe workplace.

69.96% of companies set no or only vague OHS targets. External OHS assurance is obtained by only 35.44% of companies.

98.1% of companies have a climate policy, but 66.2% lack meaningful reduction targets, and only 11.2% have science-based targets — a large gap between having a policy and having a real target.

Scope 3 reporting grew from 292 to 421 companies (44% year-over-year growth in the number of reporters) — but 57.1% of companies still disclose no Scope 3 data at all. Even so, the Scope 3 that IS disclosed (1.48 billion tCO2e) already exceeds all disclosed Scope 1+2 emissions combined (1.31 billion tCO2e).
