Terms of Use
1. Who We Are
Green Curve is an independent ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) analytics platform that provides informational tools, research commentary, and data aggregation services based on publicly filed BRSR (Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report) disclosures of Indian listed companies. Green Curve is not a SEBI-registered Research Analyst, ESG Rating Provider (ERP), Credit Rating Agency, or Investment Adviser.
2. Nature of the Service — Important Limitations
Our tools — including the ESG Quotient dashboard, GHG Calculator, BRSR Report Generator, BRSR Assurance Checker, Value-Chain Supplier Assessment, and Improvement Plan — are provided for informational and research purposes only. They are drafting and self-assessment aids, not authoritative regulatory guidance.

Subject to these Terms, you are permitted to:
- Access and use the website for personal, educational, or internal business research purposes.
- Download and export tool outputs (GHG reports, BRSR drafts, ESG briefings) for your own internal use and BRSR filing preparation — always verify against original filings before submission.

5. Accuracy of Information
We derive ESG analytics exclusively from companies' own publicly filed BRSR disclosures. While we strive for accuracy, we make no warranty that the data is complete, current, or free from errors. Company filings themselves may contain errors, omissions, or restatements. Always verify material information against the original filings on BSE, NSE, or MCA portals before relying on it for any purpose.
The BRSR Excellence Badge is based solely on our analytical assessment of publicly filed data. It does not represent an audit, certification, or assurance engagement.

The underlying BRSR filing data is in the public domain.
You may not copy, modify, or create derivative works from our proprietary content without written permission.
