ESG & BRSR Reporting with Plantation Data
SEBI requires India's top 1,000 listed companies to file a Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR). Tree plantation supports disclosures on environmental protection and inclusive development. Grow Billion Trees gives you geo-tagged, per-project data — trees, species, locations, survival and carbon estimates — in a form your ESG team and assurance providers can work with.
BRSR at a glance
- BRSR is mandatory for the top 1,000 listed companies by market capitalisation from FY 2022-23.
- BRSR Core, with reasonable assurance, is being phased in for the largest listed companies from FY 2023-24.
- BRSR follows the nine principles of the National Guidelines on Responsible Business Conduct.
- Principle 6 covers environmental protection; Principle 8 covers inclusive growth and equitable development.
- Assurance needs data that can be traced back to evidence.

Frequently asked questions
Which BRSR principles does tree plantation support?
Mainly Principle 6 (environmental protection) and, where communities and farmers benefit, Principle 8 (inclusive growth and equitable development).
Is your plantation data audit-ready?
Each tree record is geo-tagged and backed by field photos and satellite checks, so numbers can be traced to evidence during assurance.
Do you provide carbon numbers?
Yes, as estimates per project based on species and tree age, updated as the trees grow.
Can the data be used for other ESG frameworks?
The same per-project data can support other sustainability reporting your company does; your ESG team decides how it is mapped.
In what format do we receive the data?
As reports and a structured data export per project.
