About the Client
Morepen Laboratories is a listed pharmaceutical company specialising in Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and formulations, with 4 integrated manufacturing plants and a presence in more than 80 countries.
Siloed data across 7 locations made accurate, timely compliance with SEBI's mandatory Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) close to impossible. Oren combined process standardisation with Oren Sustainability Hub to fix it. Morepen published its FY 2023-24 BRSR on time and now runs its ESG data on a single, centralised system.
The Challenge
The difficulty was not the BRSR framework itself but the work of gathering the data behind it:
- Inconsistent data sourcing: ESG and GHG data was scattered across plants and departments, with different billing cycles, many vendors and fragmented records, leaving gaps in reporting.
- Decentralised management: employee, operational and financial data sat in separate systems, so the compliance team struggled to verify accuracy and meet deadlines.
- Validation and credibility: without standard templates, documentation varied by site, which made validation hard and weakened confidence in the disclosures.
- Limited resources: the compliance team lacked the people and ESG expertise to train staff, write SOPs and consolidate data across the organisation.
Oren's Solution
- Organisational mapping and process set-up: Oren defined boundaries for ESG and GHG data and built a digital replica of all 7 locations (4 plants, 3 offices) on the platform, with standard SOPs, validation rules and escalation matrices.
- Centralised ESG and GHG data: Oren Sustainability Hub became the single source of truth across all locations, automating collection, maker–checker approval and validation against historical trends.
- Capacity building: department-wise training equipped employees to use the platform and follow the new validation rules, as the compliance team works towards an internal goal of more than 95% data accuracy.
- Real-time tracking: leadership dashboards show water use, waste generation and GHG emissions as they are reported.
The Outcome
| Impact Area | Outcome |
|---|---|
| BRSR Compliance | FY 2023-24 BRSR developed and published on time, in line with SEBI requirements. |
| Data Centralisation | One ESG and GHG data system across all 7 locations, replacing data silos and simplifying audits. |
| Reporting Efficiency | BRSR output generated directly from the platform, with far less manual effort for the compliance team. |
| Operational Visibility | Real-time dashboards for GHG, water and waste, so leadership tracks performance continuously rather than once a year. |
Conclusion
Morepen Laboratories moved from compliance risk to compliance confidence. With standard processes, all ESG and GHG data on Oren Sustainability Hub and trained teams at every site, it now has audit-ready data, real-time performance insight and a digital foundation for each future BRSR cycle.
