What SEBI asks, verbatim
Provide details of greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions) & its intensity, in the following format
Total Scope 1 emissions (with break-up of CO2, CH4, N2O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6, NF3 if available), Total Scope 2 emissions (same break-up), Total Scope 1 and 2 emissions per rupee of turnover, Total Scope 1 and 2 emission intensity (optional metric). Exclude GHG trades. Disclose standards/methodologies/GWP rates used. Indicate if independent assessment/assurance carried out.
Quoted from the SEBI BRSR Format as amended March 2025, with measurement guidance from the ICAI Background Material on BRSR, Revised Edition 2024, page 134.
In plain English
You must share the company’s total greenhouse gas emissions for Scope 1 and Scope 2, breaking them down by gas type (CO₂, CH₄, N₂O, HFCs, PFCs, SF₆, NF₃ if you have them). Add the emissions per rupee of turnover and, if you want, an overall intensity figure, but don’t count GHG trades. Tell which standards, methods and GWP rates you used and note if anyone else verified the numbers.
What a complete, assurance-ready answer contains
A complete, assurance‑ready answer lists total Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions for the reporting year, with a detailed species‑level break‑up (CO₂, CH₄, N₂O, HFCs, PFCs, SF₆, NF₃) and the GWP rates applied. It then provides the emissions intensity metrics: emissions per rupee of turnover and, if chosen, a per‑unit or per‑employee figure, and cites the standard (e.g., GHG Protocol, ISO 14064) and methodology used. Assurers look for the raw data tables, the calculation methodology, and a statement confirming that no GHG trade offsets were included, while a common gap is omitting the explicit GWP rates or the assurance status of the data.
Describes the completeness and granularity an assurer expects. No company figures are named.
Where the data comes from
Usually found in utility bills, meter readings and fuel logs. Forward to your plant or energy manager.
Much of what BRSR asks for already exists in filings the company makes elsewhere, such as Pollution Control Board consents, PAT returns, hazardous-waste manifests and EPR registrations. The free gap analysis cross-references those filings against all 108 fields and shows which are already covered.
Frequently asked questions
What does BRSR P6-E7 ask for?
You must share the company’s total greenhouse gas emissions for Scope 1 and Scope 2, breaking them down by gas type (CO₂, CH₄, N₂O, HFCs, PFCs, SF₆, NF₃ if you have them). Add the emissions per rupee of turnover and, if you want, an overall intensity figure, but don’t count GHG trades. Tell which standards, methods and GWP rates you used and note if anyone else verified the numbers.
Is BRSR P6-E7 an Essential or a Leadership indicator?
P6-E7 is an Essential indicator, so it is mandatory for every BRSR filer. It sits under Principle 6, Environment.
Who inside the company holds the data for P6-E7?
Plant / EHS / Energy. Usually found in utility bills, meter readings and fuel logs. Forward to your plant or energy manager.
What unit does P6-E7 use?
metric tonnes CO2 equivalent / ratio. Reporting in the wrong unit, or switching the denominator of an intensity ratio between years, is one of the more common reasons a figure has to be restated.
What does a complete answer to P6-E7 look like?
A complete, assurance‑ready answer lists total Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions for the reporting year, with a detailed species‑level break‑up (CO₂, CH₄, N₂O, HFCs, PFCs, SF₆, NF₃) and the GWP rates applied. It then provides the emissions intensity metrics: emissions per rupee of turnover and, if chosen, a per‑unit or per‑employee figure, and cites the standard (e.g., GHG Protocol, ISO 14064) and methodology used. Assurers look for the raw data tables, the calculation methodology, and a statement confirming that no GHG trade offsets were included, while a common gap is omitting the explicit GWP rates or the assurance status of the data.
