Aditya Birla Capital Limited has filed its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, with the National Stock Exchange of India and BSE Limited. The filing, submitted on July 17, 2026, discloses the company's standalone environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance for FY26. This marks a shift from the previous year's consolidated reporting, following the strategic merger of Aditya Birla Finance Limited into the company, which now operates as a unified entity.

The BRSR highlights that the company's disclosures for FY26 are standalone, covering only Aditya Birla Capital Limited's operations, whereas FY25 disclosures were consolidated for the entity and all its subsidiaries and associate companies. Consequently, the report notes that there will be variance in numbers compared to the previous year due to this change in reporting boundary. The company serves a diverse customer base including retail, High Net-worth Individuals (HNIs), ultra HNIs, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), and corporate clients.

Governance and Oversight

The Risk Management Committee, a board sub-committee, is responsible for the oversight and implementation of the company's Business Responsibility policies. The Board of Directors plays an active role in monitoring and addressing ESG-related risks and opportunities. The company has established frameworks and policies to guide operations and decision-making in governance matters, emphasizing ethical business practices and high standards of corporate governance. DNV Business Assurance India Pvt. Ltd. provided reasonable assurance for the core indicators in the report.

Financial and Operational Metrics

The company reported a paid-up capital of INR 26,19,60,60,940. As a systemically important non-deposit taking Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC), it is engaged in lending, financing, and distribution of financial and insurance products across India. The company operates 465 offices nationally. The reporting boundary for FY26 is standalone, covering only the listed entity's operations, unlike the consolidated reporting in FY25.

Social and Environmental Performance

Aditya Birla Capital reported a total permanent employee count of 8,230, with women comprising 14% of the workforce. The company recorded 8.82 metric tons of non-hazardous waste recycled during the year. It has installed solar panels with a cumulative capacity of 180 kW across 6 branches to support its carbon reduction objectives. The company also reported that it recycled 8.8 MT of dry office waste and enabled the recycling of over 923 kg of sanitary pads during FY26.

Material Issues and Risk Management

The company identified several material responsible business conduct issues, including Corporate Governance and Business Ethics, Customer Centricity, Data Privacy & Security, and Risk Management. It noted that insufficient investment in data privacy and cybersecurity could expose the company to increased vulnerability to fraud and data breaches. To mitigate these risks, the company has established robust IT infrastructure and enforces Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies. The company also began estimating select categories of its Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions in FY26.
