ESG and BRSR Report Data Extraction

SEBI requires the largest listed companies to publish a Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report, and investors, lenders and rating teams want that data in a usable form. The indicators are there, across nine principles and a set of BRSR Core KPIs, but they arrive in different layouts, units and levels of completeness, alongside annual reports and standalone sustainability reports.

We build an ESG extraction pipeline that takes BRSR filings, using the structured XBRL version where it is filed and the PDF otherwise, along with annual and sustainability reports. It locates each indicator by principle and section, extracts reported values with units and reporting boundary, and normalises them to your chosen units. Intensity ratios are recalculated from reported inputs and compared with what the company states. Year-on-year changes, restatements, missing disclosures and assurance status for BRSR Core KPIs are flagged. Every value carries a citation and a label separating reported figures from derived ones. Analysts review anomalies before data reaches your scoring model.
