Arpit Sharma — Associate Consultant

I am an Independent ESG Consultant who works at the intersection of ESG Strategy, Sustainability Reporting, Climate Action and AI-driven advancements. Over the last several years, I’ve supported global and Indian organizations in designing audit-ready ESG systems, strengthening internal controls, and aligning reporting with reporting frameworks such as GRI, ESRS/CSRD, IFRS S1 & S2, SASB, TCFD and BRSR. I’ve led end-to-end ESG reporting programs, materiality assessments, ESG data governance models, GHG inventories (Scope 1, 2 and 3), SBTi-aligned decarbonization planning, and CSRD readiness initiatives involving large multi-functional teams. My work has consistently focused on bringing structure, discipline, and practicality to sustainability — staying grounded in the fundamentals, not trends. - I also mentor working professionals, corporate teams and ESG aspirants through hands-on training in: - ESG and Sustainability Reporting (GRI, CSRD, IFRS S1 & S2, BRSR, SASB, CDP) - ESG Data Controls & Internal Assurance - Carbon Foot printing and Net Zero Pathways - ESG Documentation & Audit Preparedness - AI in Sustainability (Prompt Engineering, Custom GPT development, Workflow Automation) I believe sustainability is most effective when embedded into the real operating rhythm of an organization — not treated as a yearly reporting event. My approach is rooted in clarity, accountability, and structured execution. If you are building or strengthening ESG capabilities, preparing for CSRD/BRSR disclosure cycles, developing SBTi-aligned targets, or exploring AI to simplify ESG workflows, I’m open to meaningful conversations, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing. 📩 Collabs & inquiries: arpitshandilya@gmail.com 📅 Book 1:1 call: https://topmate.io/arpit_sharma16/ Let’s work on sustainability that stands up to scrutiny — and delivers value.

Independent Consultant - Sustainability

Jun 2025 – Present · 9 mos · New Delhi, Delhi, India · Hybrid

I work with organisations to set up clear, reliable and repeatable ESG reporting systems. My focus is on helping companies move from scattered data and unclear responsibilities to well-structured ESG processes that are audit-ready and aligned with leading global standards.
I support clients across pharmaceuticals, government, heavy industries and automotive sectors. My work includes end-to-end ESG reporting, GHG accounting (Scope 1–3), materiality assessment, framework mapping, KPI design, evidence management, data controls, assurance readiness and sustainability disclosures.
I have delivered ESG projects for GSK Plc., Treeni Consulting, the CAG of India, the Government of India and Ericsson. I also train and guide teams across functions through practical workshops, capacity-building programs and 1:1 advisory support.
My consulting work covers frameworks such as GRI, BRSR, CSRD, SASB, TCFD and IFRS S1/S2. I build ESG data systems, SOPs, reporting workbooks and internal controls that help organisations avoid audit issues and improve reporting quality year after year.
Alongside client work, I mentor professionals transitioning into ESG, conduct corporate ESG masterclasses and lead hands-on training on data quality, reporting workflows and assurance preparation. My approach is practical and focused on making ESG a continuous internal capability rather than a once-a-year exercise.
