ESG Audit
We've Been in Auditing for 30 Years. ESG Is Where That Experience Now Matters Most.
Singh Isotech didn’t jump on the ESG bandwagon. We’ve been auditing electrical systems, energy consumption, fire safety, and structural compliance since the early 1990s — long before sustainability became a boardroom agenda item. What’s changed is that the same discipline we applied to those audits is exactly what ESG assessments demand today.
Our ESG Audit Services are built on three decades of on-ground auditing — not on frameworks adopted after the market shifted. Clients like DLF, IKEA, OYO, MakeMyTrip, HDFC Life, and Blinkit didn’t come to us for glossy reports. They came because we send trained auditors to the site, look at actual records, talk to actual people, and give an honest assessment — even when the findings are uncomfortable.
That’s the same approach we bring to ESG.
We cover manufacturing plants, corporate offices, hospitals, hotels, real estate, educational institutions, and large industrial sites across Delhi NCR, Gurugram, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Bhopal, Raipur, Lucknow, Jammu, and the rest of India.
What an ESG Audit Actually Is — And What It Isn't
There’s a lot of confusion in the market right now. Some firms will send you a questionnaire, fill in a template, and call it an ESG report. That’s not an audit. An audit means someone independently verifies what you’re claiming.
A proper ESG audit covers three areas:
Environmental — how your operations affect the world outside your walls. Energy consumption, carbon emissions, water usage, waste generation, and where it’s relevant, impact on local ecosystems.
Social — how your organisation treats people. Not just permanent employees, but contract workers, supply chain partners, and the communities around your facilities. Health and safety records, wage practices, diversity, grievance mechanisms — all of it.
Governance — how decisions get made and who’s accountable for them. Board composition, anti-corruption controls, data privacy practices, whether your reporting to the outside world actually reflects internal reality.
The output is a verified, documented baseline. Something you can stand behind when a regulator, investor, or global buyer asks questions.
What We Look At — Scope of Our ESG Audit Services in India
ESG Pillar | What We Assess |
Environmental | Carbon footprint, energy use, waste streams, water conservation practices |
Social | Labour standards, OHS compliance, worker welfare, community impact, diversity |
Governance | Board practices, ethics policies, anti-corruption controls, transparency in disclosures |
Regulatory Alignment | SEBI BRSR, GRI Standards, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, SA8000 — whichever apply |
Gap Analysis | What’s missing, how material each gap is, and what to fix first |
Report & Roadmap | A written report with findings, risk ratings, and a prioritised action plan |
The Frameworks We Work With
Depending on your industry and who your stakeholders are, we align the audit to:
- SEBI BRSR — mandatory for India’s top 1,000 listed companies
- GRI Standards — the most widely used global ESG disclosure framework
- ISO 14001 — Environmental Management Systems
- ISO 45001 — Occupational Health & Safety
- ISO 50001 — Energy Management
- SA8000 — Social accountability across operations and supply chains
- UN SDGs — where international alignment is relevant
- NVGs / NGRBC — India’s own responsible business conduct guidelines
We don’t force one framework onto every client. The audit is shaped by who you’re reporting to and what you actually need.
How the Audit Runs
Scoping first. We start with a conversation about your business — sector, size, current practices, applicable regulations. The audit checklist is built around your actual situation, not a generic template.
On-site, always. Our auditors come to your facility. Operations don’t stop — we work around your schedule. We go through environmental data, HR and safety records, governance documentation, and supplier-related practices.
We talk to people. Structured conversations with management, safety officers, HR, and operations teams. Documents tell one story; people often tell another. We need both.
Honest benchmarking. Your ESG performance is scored and compared against sector peers and regulatory requirements. Gaps are ranked by how material and urgent they actually are — not presented as an undifferentiated list of things to fix.
Report in 7–10 working days. A written ESG Audit Report — findings, risk ratings, compliance status, and a prioritised roadmap. Something you can use, not file away.
A year of follow-up. We stay available for 12 months after the report is delivered — for questions, implementation support, BRSR filing guidance, whatever comes up.
Who This Is For
Companies come to us for ESG audits for different reasons. Here are the ones we see most often:
Listed companies working through SEBI BRSR requirements — often for the first time, often under time pressure.
Exporters dealing with European and North American buyers who now require supply chain ESG data as a condition of doing business.
Companies raising green finance — ESG-linked loans and sustainability bonds require credible third-party verification, not self-reported data.
Real estate developers going for LEED or IGBC green ratings, where environmental compliance documentation is non-negotiable.
Hospitals and healthcare facilities managing the intersection of occupational health, hazardous waste, and community health obligations.
Hotels, retail chains, FMCG companies where supply chain ESG exposure has become a reputational and operational risk.
SMEs entering global supply chains — large buyers are increasingly asking tier-2 and tier-3 vendors for ESG scorecards. If you don’t have one, someone else will get the contract.
PSUs and government-linked entities required to report sustainability metrics to parent ministries or funding institutions.
Why Organisations Choose Singh Isotech
We’re not a sustainability consultancy that started doing ESG audits because the market moved that way. Auditing is what we’ve done for three decades — across electrical systems, energy, fire, structural, and safety compliance. ESG is an extension of that, not a pivot.
A few things that matter in practice:
We’re ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, and 50001 certified ourselves — so we know what these standards look like from the inside, not just from a checklist.
Our team includes BEE-certified energy auditors and engineers from IIT and BITS-Pilani who’ve spent careers inside industrial facilities. They recognise what good environmental management looks like, and what’s being papered over.
We have NABL-accredited laboratory support for environmental testing when the audit requires it — air quality, water, effluent, whatever the site demands.
Our 500+ repeat clients include names across real estate, hospitality, banking, retail, and manufacturing. Companies don’t come back for second and third audits if the first one wasn’t worth the investment.
Reports are delivered in 7–10 working days with a full BOQ and implementation roadmap. And we stay available for a year after delivery — by phone and email, at no additional cost.
FAQs
Is an ESG audit mandatory for my company?
Mandatory for India’s top 1,000 listed companies under SEBI BRSR; for others, banks, global buyers, and investors are making it a practical requirement regardless.
What's the difference between an ESG audit and a sustainability report?
A sustainability report is what you write; an ESG audit is what an independent party verifies — the audit produces the credible data your report should be built on.
What is BRSR and how does it connect to this?
BRSR is SEBI’s ESG disclosure framework for listed companies — an ESG audit helps you gather and verify those 140+ data points accurately before they go into a public filing.
Do you audit manufacturing plants specifically?
Yes — a significant share of our work is in manufacturing, including chemical plants, FMCG facilities, power plants, and food processing units.
What do I actually receive?
A written ESG Audit Report covering performance scores, identified gaps, compliance status, sector benchmarking, and a prioritised action plan — not a slide deck.
How much does it cost?
Fees depend on facility size, number of locations, industry, and reporting scope — contact us for a straight, no-hidden-costs quote.
Do you help after the audit?
Yes — one year of post-audit support is included, covering implementation questions, BRSR filing guidance, and ESG disclosure support.
