SES ESG Scores Report: Top 100 Indian Companies
Executive Summary
This research by Stakeholders Empowerment Services (SES) evaluates the top 100 listed companies in India (excluding PSUs and Government Banks) on ESG parameters for FY 2019-20. The study highlights a growing momentum for ESG practices in India, though challenges remain.
Key Highlights:
- Disclosure Gaps: A significant lack of standardized, consistent, and comparable disclosure exists, particularly for Environmental (E) and Social (S) factors.
- Regulatory Impact: Governance (G) scores are notably higher than E & S scores, reflecting decades of regulatory push in corporate governance.
- Divergence: Among high-scoring companies, the divergence between Policy, E, S, and G scores is narrow. However, for lower-scoring companies, the gap widens considerably.
- Scoring Model: The analysis used a proprietary model with 315 questions, 1,239 parameters, and over 2,200 data points.
Overall ESG & Factor-wise Score Distribution
The chart below shows the distribution (Maximum, Average, Minimum) of scores across the overall ESG rating and its individual components. Governance shows the tightest distribution, while Environment has the widest gap, indicating varied performance and disclosure levels.
ESG Scores Across Industries
Performance varies significantly by industry. The IT, Cement, and Metals sectors show higher average scores, often driven by better disclosures and regulatory focus. In contrast, the financial sectors (Banking and Non-Banking) scored lower on average, especially on environmental factors.
