ESG Analyst
Your morning involves reviewing sustainability disclosures from 30 portfolio companies against GRI and SEBI BRSR frameworks, flagging carbon intensity outliers in a mutual fund's equity holdings. Afternoons are spent building an ESG scoring model in Excel, attending a call with the CFO of an investee company to discuss water usage disclosure gaps, and drafting a thematic ESG research note on India's renewable energy transition.
