📄 Abstract（原文）
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) introduced a landmark update to India’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting reform through its circular dated 28 March 2025. This regulatory shift offers listed entities the flexibility to undertake either third-party assessment or assurance for Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR) Core disclosures. It also introduces voluntary green credit disclosures and defers ESG obligations for value chain partners. This article examines the implications of the circular from a policy and practice perspective, highlights its pragmatic approach to easing compliance while encouraging sustainability, and positions SEBI’s measures in the context of global ESG regulatory developments in the United States, European Union, and China. While SEBI’s incremental and context-sensitive reforms reflect a deep understanding of Indian corporate realities, the potential trade-offs concerning standardization, data quality, and global integration deserve equal attention. The circular is positioned as a strategic move to balance ESG accountability with operational feasibility, paving the way for a more sustainable and transparent corporate sector in India.
