Abstract

Environment Social Governance (ESG) is an intangible key assessing parameter in evaluating the performance of companies by socially aware investors and screening their investments across different sectors. India, being a developing country, heavily relies on foreign investment and competes in global markets for products and services. ESG investing, also known as sustainable investing, is therefore extremely important for India. However, despite being a market-driven phenomenon, there are several legal and regulatory hurdles hindering the smooth implementation of ESG in India. Although regulatory bodies such as the SEBI and the Ministry of Corporate Affairs have introduced guidelines, the lack of a unified disclosure mechanism leads to ambiguity in ESG disclosures. Additionally, the absence of suitable enforcement mechanisms weakens the efficacy of the existing regulations. This paper aims to critically examine the regulatory framework around ESG, analyzing the Company Law, and the SEBI regulations and seeks to offer insights into the challenges and opportunities that are associated with its implementation as well as offering some solutions for the effective implementation of ESG in India.
