Regulatory Compliance and Access

The company complied with Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, by publishing a newspaper notice regarding the dispatch of the AGM materials. The publication appeared in “Business Standard” (English) and “Aajkaal” (Bengali). This ensures that all stakeholders are informed of the upcoming corporate governance proceedings.

Emami Limited has reduced its Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 10.5% in FY26, marking a significant step in its decarbonization strategy as disclosed in its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR). The decline was primarily driven by the transition from high-emission fuels such as furnace oil and light diesel oil to cleaner alternatives including Piped Natural Gas (PNG) and bio-briquettes. This operational shift also contributed to an 8.46% reduction in total energy consumption and a 10.71% drop in non-renewable energy use during the fiscal year.

The report, submitted to the National Stock Exchange of India Ltd. and BSE Limited on July 30, 2026, pursuant to Regulation 34 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, highlights broader environmental achievements. Emami achieved 100% recycling of plastic waste, attaining Plastic Neutrality and full compliance with the Central Pollution Control Board’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) framework. Additionally, 90% of the company’s packaging is now reusable, recyclable, or compostable, with 80% of targeted products converted to compostable secondary packaging.

Environmental Performance Metrics

The company’s environmental footprint showed measurable improvements across key indicators in FY26 compared to FY25.

Emami aims to achieve 30% renewable energy consumption across operations by FY27. Currently, solar power generation at its locations provides cheaper alternatives to grid power, further enhancing operational efficiency. The company has also implemented Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) mechanisms across all manufacturing units, maximizing the reuse of treated wastewater and reducing dependency on groundwater.

Social Impact and Governance

On the social front, Emami’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives impacted 7.96 lakh lives in FY26, focusing on health, education, livelihood enhancement, and community development. The company maintains a robust occupational health and safety framework, certified under ISO 45001 across all manufacturing sites. Despite this rigorous system, two Lost Time Accidents were recorded, attributed to static electricity buildup and safety protocol lapses. Corrective measures, including automated discharge stations and enhanced training, have been standardized across sites.

Governance structures remain strong, with the ESG & CSR Committee of the Board overseeing sustainability implementation. No non-compliance with statutory requirements was recorded in FY26. Independent assurance of core BRSR parameters was provided by SGS India Private Limited, confirming the accuracy and reliability of the reported data under International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between revenue growth and waste intensity highlights Emami’s efficiency gains. While turnover reached ₹3,048 crore, waste intensity per rupee of turnover decreased from 0.79 metric tonnes/₹ crore in FY25 to 0.73 metric tonnes/₹ crore in FY26. This indicates that the company is generating less waste per unit of economic output, reflecting successful integration of circular economy principles into core operations rather than mere compliance-driven reporting.
