About Us

With over 50 years of pioneering research, policy advocacy, and on-ground implementation, TERI has become one of India's most trusted institutions in the field of sustainability. TERI ESG Academy represents a landmark initiative by The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) to consolidate its decades-long expertise in environment, energy, climate change, and sustainable development into a unified, institutional-grade ESG platform.

This Academy is TERI's dedicated institutional platform—a Centre of Excellence that bridges the traditional divide between research, policy, and practice in environmental, social, and governance domains.

The programs under the academy are closely aligned with leading national and international ESG frameworks and disclosure standards, including BRSR, BRSR Core, GRI, ISSB (IFRS S1 & S2), TCFD, climate risk assessment, and Net Zero frameworks, ensuring that learning remains relevant to evolving regulatory and business expectations.
