Embassy Developments has submitted its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, to the Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange of India. The filing, issued pursuant to Regulation 34(2)(f) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, outlines the company’s standalone performance across environmental, social, and governance parameters.
The report covers operations across residential, commercial, and Special Economic Zone developments, with 92% of turnover derived from real estate and construction activities. The company reported a turnover of ₹4,12.19 crore and a net worth of ₹1,130.04 crore as on March 31, 2026. These figures formed the basis for calculating CSR obligations, which amounted to ₹0.41 million for the year.
Environmental Metrics
Total energy consumption increased to 1,32,83,707.58 MJ in FY26, up from 1,04,87,203.75 MJ in FY25. This rise was driven by higher electricity consumption from renewable sources, which grew to 75,50,242.13 MJ from 42,84,000.00 MJ in the prior year. Non-renewable energy consumption fell to 57,33,465.45 MJ from 62,03,203.75 MJ.
Greenhouse gas emissions saw divergent trends between scopes. Scope 1 emissions rose sharply to 180.52 metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent from 97.82 metric tonnes in FY25, attributed to higher diesel consumption at specific projects. Conversely, Scope 2 emissions declined significantly to 633.22 metric tonnes from 970.11 metric tonnes, reflecting reduced indirect emissions.
Water withdrawal totaled 86,155.60 kilolitres, an increase from 69,444.25 kilolitres in FY25. Total water consumption stood at 17,069.04 kilolitres, slightly down from 17,396.67 kilolitres. The company highlighted its 550 KLD Sewage Treatment Plant at the Bangalore EONE project, which facilitates water reuse for non-potable applications.
Social and Governance Disclosures
The company employed 296 permanent employees and 13 non-permanent employees as on March 31, 2026. Female representation among permanent staff was 35.47%. The turnover rate for permanent employees fell to 18.55% in FY26, compared to 28.77% in FY25.
Safety metrics remained strong, with zero lost-time injuries, fatalities, or high-consequence work-related injuries reported for both employees and workers. The company spent 3.12% of its total revenue on employee well-being measures, maintaining the same percentage as the previous year.
What the Numbers Show
A notable divergence exists between direct and indirect carbon footprints. While Scope 1 emissions nearly doubled due to operational fuel usage, Scope 2 emissions dropped by over 34%. This suggests that while on-site construction activities increased direct emissions, efficiency gains or changes in grid mix may have reduced indirect electricity-related emissions. Additionally, the sharp rise in renewable energy consumption (75.5 million MJ vs 42.8 million MJ) contrasts with the overall increase in total energy use, indicating a strategic shift toward greener power sources despite higher overall demand.
Governance and Compliance
The board comprises eight directors, including one woman director. The company recorded no complaints related to sexual harassment, discrimination, or human rights violations during the year. Customer grievances totaled 20 filed cases, with 51 pending resolution at year-end. The company maintains an anti-corruption policy and reported no instances of bribery or conflict of interest complaints involving directors or key managerial personnel.
Dhir & Dhir Associates provided reasonable assurance on the core BRSR indicators, confirming that the sustainability information is prepared in accordance with SEBI’s reporting criteria.
