[Audio] [email protected] I +91 91613 61899 Value Chain Definition SEBI’s Guidance Note and later FAQs define value chain partners as: Entities with which the organisation has a business relationship and which (a) Supply products or services that contribute to the organisation’s own products or services, or (b) Receive products or services from the organisation. For value-chain ESG disclosures, SEBI has now narrowed this to: Top upstream and downstream partners that individually account for 2% or more of the company’s purchases / sales by value, and you may limit coverage to 75% of total purchases and sales. This is to ensure coverage of material partners and to avoid very long, impractical vendor lists. 2% is a minimum requirement, not a cap..
Scene 4 (1m 27s)
[Audio] Below 2% Threshold Vendors Even if a vendor is below 2%, you may still include them if: The absolute value is high in rupee terms (Organization can decide this value) or The vendor is strategic / high-risk for ESG (For example) - Critical IT / cybersecurity vendor - KYC / AML outsourced partner - Large manpower / security / housekeeping contractor - Vendor in a sector with higher ESG risk (chemicals, logistics, waste handling, etc.).
Scene 5 (2m 3s)
[Audio] Banks – Bank Guarantees, Settlement / Clearing accounts Banks are providing financial services that are essential for your operations (BGs, settlement, overdrafts etc.) That is clearly an upstream service that enables you to run the broking business. If a particular bank is ≥2% of total purchase value, it should be treated as a value-chain partner..
Scene 6 (2m 30s)
[Audio] NSE / BSE – Regulatory / Listing / Trading / Clearing Charges NSE and BSE are market infrastructure providers, not just REGULATORS They provide the trading, clearing and listing platform without which you cannot deliver broking services. Fees you pay them (transaction charges, membership, clearing fees) are in return for those services, so they do qualify as upstream service providers under SEBI’s value-chain definition. If NSE / BSE charges for services (excluding penalties) cross the 2% of purchase value threshold, you can justify classifying them as value-chain partners. If they are well below 2% you may leave them out..
Scene 7 (3m 18s)
[Audio] Pure regulators – SEBI, Tax authorities These payments: - SEBI fees (regulatory levies, not Services purchased) - GST, stamp duty, ROC fees, etc. These payments are statutory payments, not purchases of a product/service. These are not value-chain partners for BRSR purposes, and you should not include them in ESG supplier assessments..
