Morepen Laboratories Limited

Executive Snapshot

Morepen Laboratories Limited, a publicly listed pharmaceutical leader, faced significant challenges with decentralised, siloed data across 7 locations, making accurate and timely compliance with the mandatory Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) regulation nearly impossible. Oren addressed this by implementing a comprehensive solution that combined process standardisation and Oren's AI-powered ESG platform, Oren Sustainability Hub. The result was the successful, on-time publication of the FY 2023-24 BRSR report, moving data accuracy from a major compliance risk to a reliable, centralised data management system built for long-term sustainability.

The Challenge

As a publicly listed entity, Morepen’s primary objective was to ensure timely and accurate compliance with the SEBI-mandated BRSR regulation. The challenge was not the reporting framework itself, but the operational complexity required to gather the necessary data:

• Inconsistent Data Sourcing: Critical ESG and GHG data were scattered across different plant locations and departments, often with inconsistent billing cycles, diverse vendors, and fragmented record-keeping, leading to gaps in reporting.‍
• Decentralised Management: Employee, operational, and financial data resided in separate systems and silos, severely hindering the compliance team’s ability to verify accuracy and meet stringent reporting deadlines.‍
• Validation Complexity and Credibility: The lack of standardised data templates and varying documentation formats across sites introduced significant validation challenges, impacting the credibility and reliability of the sustainability disclosures.‍
• Resource Paucity: The compliance team lacked the dedicated manpower and specialised ESG expertise required to train personnel, set up robust SOPs, and manage the complexity of organisation-wide data consolidation.

Oren’s Strategic Solution

Oren implemented a structural, technology-driven approach, delivering expertise and operational capacity through the Oren SaaS Platform.

• Organisational Mapping and Process Setup: Oren first defined clear organisational boundaries for ESG and GHG data collection, creating a precise digital replica of the 7 locations (4 plants, 3 offices) within the platform to centralise scope. We established standardised SOPs, data validation rules, and escalation matrices.
• Centralised ESG & GHG Data Management: Oren Sustainability Hub was implemented across all locations. This centralised system became the single source of truth for all ESG metrics, automating data collection, application of the maker-checker mechanism, and validation against historical trends.
• Capacity Building and Training: To ensure long-term data quality, Oren conducted department-wise training sessions, equipping employees with the skills to use the platform effectively and adhere to the new validation rules, moving the compliance team toward an internal goal of >95% data accuracy.
• Real-Time Performance Tracking: The platform provides real-time ESG Dashboards for senior leadership, offering immediate visibility into key metrics like water use, waste generation, and GHG emissions. This capability shifted the team from reactive data chasing to proactive decision-making and continuous performance tracking.

Measurable Results

The integrated solution delivered tangible, high-value outcomes focused on compliance, efficiency, and data integrity:

• BRSR Compliance: Successful and timely development and publication of Morepen’s FY 2023-24 BRSR report, achieving full regulatory compliance with enhanced corporate transparency.‍
• Data Centralisation: Established a single, centralised ESG and GHG data management system using Oren Sustainability Hub across 7 locations, eliminating data silos and simplifying regulatory audits.‍
• Reporting Efficiency: Enabled seamless and efficient BRSR reporting “at the click of a button”, drastically reducing the time and manual effort previously required by the compliance team.‍
• Operational Visibility: Equipped leadership with real-time ESG dashboards for continuous tracking of key environmental metrics (GHG, water, waste), supporting proactive operational management.

Conclusion

Oren’s partnership with Morepen Laboratories transformed a complex, decentralised reporting environment into a unified, reliable, and future-ready ESG data ecosystem. By standardising processes, centralising all ESG and GHG data within the Oren Sustainability Hub, and building internal capacity across teams, Morepen moved from compliance risk to compliance confidence. The organisation now benefits from accurate, audit-ready data, real-time performance insights, and a scalable digital foundation that strengthens both regulatory readiness and long-term sustainability governance.
