ESG
Environmental, Social & Governance
With the legally binding Solid Waste Management Rules 2026, issued under the Environment (Protection) Act 1986 by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, compliance, traceability, and accountability in waste management across India are no longer optional—it is mandatory, regulated, and auditable. For corporates—classified as Bulk Waste Generators (BWGs)—the risk is far more direct and immediate with mandatory on-site processing – EBWGR certification, central portal registration, and continuous reporting requirements. Non-compliance attracts penalties, operational risks, and ESG red flags, ruling out fragmented or informal disposal practices
