India’s steel sector needs standardized ESG data to unlock necessary climate finance.

Chemical manufacturer GHCL has partnered with authentication solutions provider AuthBridge to strengthen ESG compliance across its supplier network. The partnership focuses on using scalable, tech-enabled solutions to manage supplier compliance efficiently. The core objective is to automate ESG data collection and verification. It will also introduce ESG scoring directly into the supplier evaluation process. GHCL's new initiative is designed to align its supplier practices with global standards. Critically, it will also comply with India's mandatory Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR) framework, which is mandated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for listed companies. Identifying high-risk vendors: AuthBridge has already begun engaging with GHCL's diverse supplier base. This includes raw material vendors, machinery providers, logistics partners, and service contractors. The company is guiding security service providers on adherence to labour laws and workplace harassment prevention. It is also helping manufacturing partners track greenhouse gas GHG) emissions across direct and indirect sources. GHCL stated that a key goal of this automated approach is to identify high-risk suppliers earlier. This will enable the company to improve onboarding decisions based on concrete compliance data, strengthening the resilience of its entire supply chain. Thought leadership: Ajay Trehan, Founder and CEO, AuthBridge, said, "Listed companies increasingly need scalable, tech-enabled solutions to manage supplier compliance." The demand for transparent and verifiable ESG data in the supply chain continues to rise. This partnership demonstrates a proactive move by GHCL to meet both regulatory mandates and stakeholder expectations.
