Report Launch & Panel Discussion I BRSR Disclosure: ESG Performance of the Cement Sector 2024–25

The event marks the release of iFOREST’s report, BRSR Disclosure: ESG Performance of the Cement Sector 2024–25. The report benchmarks 18 cement companies, which together account for nearly 87% of India’s cementitious material production, against 107 indicators under SEBI’s Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR) framework. The sector’s CO₂ emissions rose 4% in FY25 to 224 million tonnes, 6–7% of India’s total, as output grew. The report assesses how the industry is performing on environmental, social and governance measures, and how fully it reports them. The event will bring together industry leaders, government agencies, regulators, investors, rating agencies and think tanks to discuss the report’s findings and recommendations. Panels will cover low-carbon pathways for the cement sector and how to close gaps in BRSR disclosure, with the aim of steering the industry towards a low-carbon, resource-efficient and globally competitive future.
