7. Statement by director responsible for the business responsibility report, highlighting ESG related challenges, targets and
achievements (listed entity has flexibility regarding the placement of this disclosure)
Global warming and climate change continue to pose significant risks to economic stability, environmental
security, and social well-being. As a responsible corporate citizen, we acknowledge the growing urgency to
address these global concerns by aligning our business strategies with principles of sustainability and inclusive
growth. Transitioning to a low-carbon, climate-resilient economy is no longer optional—it is imperative.
Recognizing this, we have embedded Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles at the core of
our operations. The introduction of the Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) framework by
SEBI for the top 1000 listed companies from FY 2022–23 marks a critical milestone in advancing sustainability
reporting in India. We welcome this shift, which places non-financial disclosures on par with financial reporting,
enhancing transparency and accountability in corporate performance.
We recognize that building a sustainable and resilient business is a long-term commitment. We continue to
reassess and align our policies and practices with national and global ESG standards. Our Board and senior
leadership remain actively engaged in steering these efforts, ensuring that we deliver value not just to our
shareholders, but to all stakeholders.
As we move forward, we remain committed to transparency, accountability, and innovation in driving our ESG
agenda, while contributing meaningfully to the broader vision of sustainable development.
