About The Project

The engagement centered on the development of a comprehensive Sustainability Report for Licious Foods, a leading fresh meat brand in India. The report was structured in alignment with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards and the Business Responsibility and Sustainability Reporting (BRSR) framework.

The objective was to deliver a robust, standards-compliant sustainability disclosure that reflected Licious’ Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) commitments. The assignment included conducting a detailed materiality assessment, stakeholder analysis, structured data collection, and narrative synthesis aligned with international reporting frameworks.

Working in close collaboration with Licious’ ESG team, the engagement combined technical rigor with strategic storytelling to produce a report that was analytically sound, visually compelling, and aligned with the company’s brand identity.

Services Provided

Urban Innovation Lab (UIL) was appointed as the ESG consulting partner to design and develop the sustainability report. The scope of work covered the complete reporting lifecycle—from assessment and data structuring to final design and publication.

Baseline Assessment & Process Review

UIL conducted a comprehensive review of existing sustainability policies, operational procedures, ESG frameworks, data systems, and internal documentation. This exercise established a baseline understanding of current practices and identified data availability gaps.

Materiality Assessment & Benchmarking

A structured materiality assessment was undertaken, including sectoral analysis, peer benchmarking, and review of historical ESG ratings. Relevant GRI disclosures were mapped to Licious’ operational context to identify priority sustainability themes for stakeholders.

Stakeholder Engagement & Capacity Building

UIL facilitated workshops and conducted in-depth discussions with internal stakeholders and functional leaders. These engagements strengthened organizational alignment and ensured meaningful stakeholder participation in shaping the sustainability narrative.

Data Framework Development & Analysis

Custom data collection templates were developed to standardize ESG data gathering across departments. UIL provided structured guidance on data compilation, validation, and analysis to ensure accuracy and compliance with reporting standards.

Report Content Development

UIL led the drafting of the sustainability report, including leadership messaging, ESG performance disclosures, governance structures, and transformation case studies. The content was developed to balance technical compliance with clarity and strategic positioning.

Draft Review, Finalization & Quality Assurance

A detailed draft was prepared and reviewed collaboratively with Licious’ leadership and ESG teams. Feedback was systematically incorporated to ensure alignment with organizational priorities and regulatory expectations.

Design & Brand Integration

The final report was designed in accordance with Licious’ branding guidelines. Emphasis was placed on visual clarity, infographic presentation, and structured storytelling to translate complex ESG data into an engaging and accessible format.

Outcome

The engagement resulted in a standards-aligned Sustainability Report that strengthened Licious’ ESG positioning, enhanced transparency, and demonstrated measurable impact across environmental, social, and governance dimensions.
