In an era where climate change and environmental impact dominate global discussions, corporate sustainability is no longer a buzzword—it's a business imperative. Governments, investors, and consumers now demand that companies operate with a strong commitment to environmental compliance and sustainable practices.
Enter the Chartered Accountant (CA)—traditionally the guardian of financial integrity, now also an integral player in the green transformation of businesses.
At TAXAJ Corporate Services LLP, our team of CAs is equipped not just for compliance with financial norms but also for integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles into your business strategy.
Environmental compliance refers to a company’s adherence to environmental laws, regulations, standards, and other requirements such as permits to operate.

Non-compliance can lead to penalties, license revocations, or reputational damage—making environmental accounting and monitoring absolutely crucial.
Chartered Accountants are playing an evolving role in ensuring businesses meet environmental obligations while maintaining financial health. Here's how they contribute:
CAs assist in:
Identifying environment-related liabilities
Quantifying contingent environmental risks
Evaluating pollution and waste management costs
Conduct sustainability audits
Verify environmental data for green certifications
Offer assurance for ESG reports and sustainability disclosures
Develop frameworks for SEBI BRSR (Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting)
Ensure accurate tracking and disclosure of:
Carbon emissions
Energy consumption
Water usage
Waste generation
Advise on carbon tax, renewable energy incentives, green cess deductions
Strategize for carbon credits, RECs, and sustainable grants
Apportion costs to activities based on environmental impact
Analyze eco-efficiency
Calculate ROI of green investments
New mandates like SEBI’s top 1000 listed companies to submit BRSR reports make CA involvement essential.
