Abstract
Regional legislation may be complex and lead to a patchwork of solutions, companies have many legal and ethical challenges when trying to achieve ESG goals. This is especially true in healthcare, where strong ethics are vital. Companies operating under different regulations may benefit from a more progressive outlook if the complexities of these legal and ethical issues were well understood. This article delves at the ways in which operational efficiency, brand value, risk management, and ESG performance affect company competitiveness. By examining tactics linked to environmental management, ethical behaviors, and corporate management, it suggests realistic ways to enhance ESG performance. A company's market competitive advantage and capital expenses are both boosted by solid ESG performance. In order to promote sustainable growth in the face of global competition, the research offers strategic advice to corporate management based on the ESG approach. When compared to other nations, India's efforts to regulate ESG reporting are more beneficial, according to the BRSR framework that the country introduced. Directors in India are legally obligated to fulfill their responsibilities to different stakeholders, which establishes a solid basis for fair and efficient corporate governance. As a result, Indian corporations are more likely to make ESG disclosures, and there is more space for regulatory and legislative changes. While nations such as the United States and the United Kingdom include environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosures into their yearly reporting processes, authorities have not mandated a specific or consistent reporting structure or methodology. In an effort to shed light on pressing issues in ESG and corporate governance, this study seeks to set a new course for scholars interested in corporate law and governance.
