- Encouraging employee participation through safety reporting mechanisms and continuous feedback to strengthen a proactive safety culture.
b) What are the processes used to identify work-related hazards and assess risks on a routine and non-routine basis by the entity?
We have adopted a proactive and systematic approach to managing workplace safety across our operations. This includes Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) and Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) studies at our facilities to identify potential operational risks. Based on the outcomes of these assessments, our safety teams continuously update operational control procedures and management plans to effectively mitigate identified risks. In addition, periodic audits and inspections are undertaken to detect potential hazards, address safety concerns, and minimise the likelihood of workplace incidents across our facilities. We leverage data-driven insights to strengthen risk monitoring and enhance preventive measures. Our continuous improvement approach ensures that safety practices evolve in line with industry standards and emerging risks.
For routine activities, our processes include structured hazard identification through the review of incident reports, near misses, employee feedback mechanisms, and worker consultations. This is followed by a comprehensive risk assessment framework that evaluates likelihood and severity, supported by appropriate documentation and periodic review. For non-routine activities, such as maintenance work or new project implementation, we undertake specific and detailed risk assessments prior to the commencement of work. This ensures that adequate safeguards and control measures are established in advance. We further ensure that all relevant personnel are briefed and trained on identified risks and mitigation plans before undertaking such tasks. Continuous monitoring during execution helps us maintain a safe working environment and promptly address any emerging risks.
c) Whether you have processes for workers to report the work-related hazards and to remove themselves from such risks. (Y/N)
We have a structured and well-defined approach for identifying and reporting work-related hazards across our operations. Our workforce is regularly trained to recognise potential risks, unsafe acts, and unsafe conditions within their work environment. These initiatives enable the workforce to remain vigilant and contribute actively to maintaining workplace safety standards. We also integrate safety awareness into day-to-day operations to ensure that hazard identification and its reporting become an integral part of our organisational culture. Continuous capability building further strengthens our teams' ability to respond effectively to evolving safety challenges.
We actively encourage employees and workers to report potential hazards, unsafe acts, and unsafe conditions without any fear of retaliation, either through our internal reporting portal or directly to the facility-based EHS SPOC. Such reporting mechanisms support the timely identification of risks and enable swift corrective measures. Reported incidents are systematically analysed to capture learnings and strengthen preventive controls, reducing the likelihood of recurrence. Additionally, workers are empowered to halt work and remove themselves from situations involving unsafe acts and unsafe conditions without fear of reprisal. Such actions are fully supported by management and form a critical part in removing work related hazards. This open and transparent approach supports the concept of a safe and accountable work environment for all. Our commitment to the hazard reporting culture reinforces trust and ensures continuous improvements in workplace safety practices.

Independent Assurance Statement
SRF Limited,
The Galleria, DLF Mayur Vihar, Unit No. 236 & 237, Second Floor, Mayur Place, Noida Link Road, Mayur Vihar Phase-1 Extn, Delhi 110 091
Independent Assurance Statement on Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) disclosures for the financial year 2025-26.
Introduction and objective of engagement
SRF Limited (the 'Company') has developed its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report ('BRSR') including the BRSR Core Indicators1, based on the BRSR reporting guidelines prescribed by SEBI for listed entities. The reporting criteria have been derived from the Principles of National Guidelines on Responsible Business Conduct, 2018 (NGRBC), and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol - A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard.
BDO India Services Private Limited (BDO) was engaged by the Company to provide independent assurance on select non-financial sustainability disclosures in the BRSR (the 'Report') for the period 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026.
The Company's responsibilities
The content of the Report and its presentation are the sole responsibilities of the Management of the Company. The Company's Management is also responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal controls relevant to the preparation of the Report, so that it is free from material misstatement.
BDO's responsibility
BDO's responsibility, as agreed with the Management of the Company, is to provide assurance on the BRSR Indicators (Core & Non-Core) as described in the 'Scope, boundary and assurance criteria' section below. We do not accept or assume any responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person or organization. Any reliance a third party may place on the Report is entirely at its own risk.
Assurance standard
We conducted our assurance engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 (Revised), "Assurance Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information", and ISAE 3410, "Assurance Engagements on Greenhouse Gas Statement", issued by the International Auditing and Standards Board.
Scope, boundary and assurance criteria
The assurance scope and boundary cover the Company's India operations.
We applied the 'Reasonable' Assurance criteria for non-financial BRSR Core Indicators¹ and 'Limited' Assurance criteria for select other than Core non-financial Essential indicators of the BRSR (as set out under Appendix 1 to this statement), pertaining to the Company's disclosure for the period 1st April 2025 through 31st March 2026.
Assurance methodology
Our assurance process entailed conducting procedures to gather evidence regarding the reliability of the disclosures covered in the assurance scope. A combination of physical & virtual verification on sample basis was carried out at the following locations:
- Corporate Office, Gurugram;
- Chemical Business: Dahej Site & Bhiwadi Site;
- Packaging Films Business: Indore Site [Domestic Tariff Area 1 (DTA1), Domestic Tariff Area 2 (DTA2) & Special Economic Zone (SEZ)].
These manufacturing facilities, combined, represent approximately 80% of the revenue generated by the Company. We used our professional judgement as Assurance Provider for selection of sample of the Company's locations/facilities and non-financial information for the verifications.
We conducted review and verification of data collection, collation, and calculation methodologies,

and a general review of the logic of inclusion/omission of relevant information/data in the Report. Our review process included:
- Evaluation of appropriateness of the quantification methods used to arrive at the non-financial/sustainability information of the BRSR Core & Non-core Indicators;
- Review of consistency of data/information within the Report as well as between the Report and source;
- Engagement through discussions with personnel at both corporate and plant/facility levels who are accountable for the data and information presented in the Report;
- Execution of an audit trail of claims and data streams, to determine the level of accuracy in collection, transcription, and aggregation;
- Review of data collection and management procedures, and related internal controls.
Limitations & exclusions
There are inherent limitations in assurance engagement, including, for example, the use of judgment and selective testing of data. Accordingly, there are possibilities that material misstatements in the sustainability information of the Report may remain undetected.
The assurance scope specifically excludes:
- Data and information outside the defined reporting period (1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026);
- Review of the 'economic and/or financial performance indicators' included in the Reports, specifically, the financial information based on which such indicators are reported; we have been informed by the Company that these are derived from the Company's audited financial records;
- The Company's statements and claims related to any topics other than those listed in the 'Scope, boundary and assurance criteria';
- The Company's statements that describe qualitative/quantitative assertions, expression of opinion, belief, inference, aspiration, expectation, aim or future intention.
Our observations
The sustainability disclosures of the Company, as defined under the scope and boundary of assurance, are fairly reliable and the Company has appropriately consolidated data from different sources at the central level.
Our conclusions
Based on the scope of our review, we concluded that:
- BRSR Core Essential indicators (Table A of Appendix 1): The disclosures fulfil the principles of relevance, completeness, reliability, neutrality, and understandability as per 'reasonable' assurance criteria of the applied Assurance Standard;
- Select BRSR Essential indicators other than Core (Table B of Appendix 1): Nothing has come to our attention that causes us not to believe that the disclosures are presented fairly, in all material respects, as per the 'limited' assurance criteria of the applied Assurance Standard.
