Sustainability has become a robust demand for government, industries and every stakeholder who aims to drive the nation and economy forward. "ESG," for "Environmental, Social, and Governance," evaluates a company's moral impact on the triple bottom line and is a subset of sustainable investments. ESG ratings and indicators are simply a combination of investing and sustainability. Institutional investors and the companies they back have shifted their focus from maximising short-term shareholder gains to minimising the negative effects of their actions on society at large. So, this study aims to reveal the connection between Indian companies' ESG ratings and their financial performance. The study used an exploratory research approach. The ProweissIQ, as well as the yearly reports, were utilised in order to compile the 75 observed sample data from the Top 15 NSE firms over the course of five years. In contrast, five years of ESG scores for the chosen corporations have been gathered from MSCI (2018-22). SPSS software was used to conduct analyses using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations, and regression analysis, which revealed a favourable connection between individual scores of Environment, Social & Governance ratings and company profits
