What SEBI asks, verbatim
Does the entity have any project related to reducing Green House Gas emission? If yes, then provide details
Brief description of each GHG reduction project including goals, objectives, progress, and expected greenhouse gas reductions (if quantifiable).
Quoted from the SEBI BRSR Format as amended March 2025, with measurement guidance from the ICAI Background Material on BRSR, Revised Edition 2024, page 136.
In plain English
Ask whether the company has any projects aimed at cutting greenhouse‑gas emissions. If it does, give a short description of each project, covering its goals, what it has achieved so far, and how much CO₂ it expects to cut. This info usually comes from the company’s sustainability or environmental reports.
What a complete, assurance-ready answer contains
A complete, assurance‑ready answer lists every GHG‑reduction project, giving a concise description, the target (e.g., % cut or CO₂e tonnes), the timeline, and the current progress against that target. Assurers look for a clear linkage between the project’s objectives and the quantified emissions reduction, including the methodology used for measurement and any third‑party verification. A common gap is omitting the baseline emissions against which the reduction is measured, leaving the magnitude of the impact unclear.
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-E8 ask for?
Ask whether the company has any projects aimed at cutting greenhouse‑gas emissions. If it does, give a short description of each project, covering its goals, what it has achieved so far, and how much CO₂ it expects to cut. This info usually comes from the company’s sustainability or environmental reports.
Is BRSR P6-E8 an Essential or a Leadership indicator?
P6-E8 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-E8?
Plant / EHS / Energy. Usually found in utility bills, meter readings and fuel logs. Forward to your plant or energy manager.
What unit does P6-E8 use?
Yes/No + narrative. 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-E8 look like?
A complete, assurance‑ready answer lists every GHG‑reduction project, giving a concise description, the target (e.g., % cut or CO₂e tonnes), the timeline, and the current progress against that target. Assurers look for a clear linkage between the project’s objectives and the quantified emissions reduction, including the methodology used for measurement and any third‑party verification. A common gap is omitting the baseline emissions against which the reduction is measured, leaving the magnitude of the impact unclear.

Are any sites covered under the PAT energy scheme? If yes, targets set vs achieved
Water drawn and consumed, by source (surface, ground, third-party, etc.) in kilolitres
Water discharged, by destination and treatment level (kilolitres)
Do you have Zero Liquid Discharge? If yes, its coverage
Air emissions other than greenhouse gases (NOx, SOx, particulate matter, VOCs)
