FDC Limited submitted its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report for FY26 to the stock exchanges on September 1, 2026. The filing details the company's environmental, social, and governance performance for the financial year.

The report discloses a turnover of ₹21,263 crore and a net worth of ₹24,926 crore as of the end of FY26. These figures form the basis for the company's Corporate Social Responsibility obligations under Section 135 of the Companies Act, 2013.

Environmental Metrics

FDC Limited reported total energy consumption of 213,491 GJ in FY26, down from 219,486 GJ in FY25. Energy intensity improved to 100.40 GJ per million INR of turnover, compared to 106.03 in the prior year.

Greenhouse gas emissions from Scope 1 and Scope 2 sources fell to 22,947 tCO2e, excluding biogenic emissions. The company expanded its rooftop solar capacity to 3.3 MWp, generating approximately 33.89 lakh kWh of renewable energy.

Employee Welfare

The company employed 6,883 permanent employees at the end of FY26. Health insurance and accident insurance coverage stood at 100% for all permanent staff. The employee turnover rate for permanent staff was 47.01% in FY26, up from 41.16% in FY25.

No significant regulatory orders impacting the going concern status were reported. The company recorded 269 customer complaints during the year, with 14 pending resolution at year-end. There were no fines or penalties paid to regulators or law enforcement agencies.

What the Numbers Show

Sales concentration remains low despite high reliance on distributors. While 91.4% of sales went through dealers and distributors, the top 10 dealers accounted for only 4.2% of those sales, indicating a broad distribution network rather than dependency on a few key partners.
