Why ESG Performance Can’t Be Ignored

In today’s business landscape, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) performance is a decisive factor in securing investor trust, meeting regulatory requirements, and safeguarding brand reputation.
Companies that fail to act on ESG risks face regulatory penalties, investor pullback, and reputational harm, while proactive ESG strategies open doors to new markets, conscious consumers, and long-term resilience.

But ESG responsibility doesn’t end at your own operations. Your supply chain often dominated by MSMEs can be your largest source of ESG risk.

“In an era where sustainability is not just a choice but a mandate, ESGX helps businesses measure, track, and improve their ESG performance with data-driven precision. Whether you're preparing for investor scrutiny, regulatory audits, or market credibility—ESGX has you covered.”

Turning Risk Insights into Measurable Improvement

Unlike conventional ESG tools that stop at risk detection, ESGX goes further by delivering a Corrective Action Plan after every assessment. This plan guides you to:

  • Address performance gaps in ESG practices

  • Track and report progress with supporting documentation

  • Improve ESG scores over time

  • Align with global standards like SASB, BRSR, and UN SDGs

The process is fast, cost-effective, and tailored to the Indian market and industry size, making ESG compliance accessible for businesses of all scales especially MSMEs.

    FAQs

    1. What is ESG compliance and why is it important for my supply chain?

    ESG compliance means aligning your business and suppliers with Environmental, Social, and Governance standards. It’s important because regulatory bodies, investors, and customers now expect transparency in sustainability practices. Weak ESG practices in your supply chain can lead to financial penalties, reputational damage, and lost business opportunities.

    2. How does ESGX help MSMEs and smaller suppliers with ESG requirements?

    ESGX is cost-effective, fast, and simple to use. Unlike traditional ESG tools that are expensive and complex, ESGX offers a standardised ESG framework tailored for MSMEs. This helps smaller suppliers meet compliance requirements without heavy investments in consultants or systems.

    3. Can ESGX identify ESG risks in my third-party network?

    Yes. ESGX collects data from disclosures, adverse media, and public records to create a comprehensive ESG scorecard for each entity in your network. This allows you to quickly identify high-risk areas and take corrective actions before they impact your operations.

    4. Does ESGX follow global ESG standards?

    Absolutely. ESGX assessments align with SASB (Sustainability Accounting Standards Board), BRSR (Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting), and UN SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), ensuring your ESG reporting is globally credible and locally relevant.

    5. How often should ESG assessments be conducted?

    We recommend conducting ESG assessments annually at a minimum. However, high-risk sectors or companies with large supplier networks may benefit from quarterly or bi-annual assessments to ensure continuous compliance and improvement.

    6. Will ESGX help me improve my ESG score over time?

    Yes. After every assessment, ESGX provides a Corrective Action Plan with practical steps to address gaps. Once implemented, you can re-assess to track progress and see tangible improvements in your ESG score.

    7. Is ESGX suitable for companies outside India?

    Yes. While ESGX is tailored to Indian market needs, its framework and methodology are based on global ESG standards, making it adaptable for international businesses as well.
