BRSR advisory

Advisory plus implementation to make BRSR delivery repeatable. We convert indicators into a KPI system with owners, controls, evidence trails, and governance cadence so leadership can rely on the reporting cycle.

BRSR reporting and governance theme

BRSR becomes manageable when ownership and evidence are clear

BRSR delivery usually struggles when indicators remain disconnected from data ownership and controls. Readiness improves when you define KPI definitions, owners, data sources, validations, evidence trails, and a review cadence early.

If your reporting requirement is EU-led, see CSRD advisory. For UK SECR and SRS reporting, see UK SECR and SRS reporting. If you need to build or validate your carbon baseline first, see carbon accounting.

FAQs

Common questions about BRSR KPI mapping, controls, evidence trails, value chain approach, and assurance readiness.

What does BRSR advisory typically include?
BRSR advisory typically includes readiness and gap assessment, KPI mapping, data owner model, data collection workflow, governance cadence, control design, evidence trails, and reporting delivery support.
How do you map BRSR indicators to data owners and systems?
We create a KPI inventory aligned to BRSR indicators, define the data owner and source for each KPI, identify gaps, design validations and approvals, and document evidence trails for reporting quality.
How do you address value chain data requirements in practice?
We build a phased approach by prioritising material categories, defining supplier engagement workflows, setting evidence expectations, and establishing governance so value chain data improves cycle by cycle.
Do you support emissions governance for BRSR reporting?
Yes. We support emissions data governance, methodology documentation, and evidence trails. Where relevant, we define a practical approach for Scope 3 prioritisation and value chain data collection.
Do you provide statutory audit or assurance for BRSR or BRSR Core?
No. We do not provide statutory audit or assurance. We prepare organisations for assurance through controls, documentation, evidence trails, and leadership review cadence.
What is the fastest way to improve BRSR readiness before the reporting cycle?
Start with a readiness and gap assessment. It clarifies priorities, data gaps, owners, control needs, and a practical delivery plan for the reporting cycle.
Can one ESG operating model support multiple regulations?
Yes. Governance can be shared across regulations by standardising ownership, controls, evidence trails, and review cadence. Disclosure mapping changes by regulation but operating discipline remains consistent.
