Ion Exchange Limited has filed its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) for the financial year 2025-2026 with the Bombay Stock Exchange and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited. The submission, made pursuant to Regulation 34(2)(f) of the SEBI Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements Regulations, 2015, outlines the company’s environmental, social, and governance performance.

Strategic Sustainability Targets

The report emphasizes a systems-level approach to conserving resources through water and environmental management solutions. Ion Exchange has established aspirational targets to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030 and net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Additionally, the company aims to achieve water positivity across its operations within defined long-term timelines.

These commitments are embedded within the company's strategic roadmap, influencing product innovation and operational efficiency. The report notes that progress against these ESG targets is periodically reviewed by dedicated internal committees with representation from senior management and the Board of Directors.

Governance and Oversight

Mr. Indraneel Dutt, Managing Director & CEO, serves as the highest authority responsible for the implementation and oversight of the Business Responsibility policies. The company has constituted a dedicated core group under his leadership to drive the ESG strategy and monitor performance.

TÜV SÜD South Asia Pvt. Ltd. provided limited assurance for the disclosures in the report. The filings cover standalone operations for Ion Exchange India Ltd., reflecting activities across its engineering, chemical, and consumer product segments.

What the Numbers Show

The BRSR filing indicates a structured integration of sustainability metrics into corporate governance. By linking board-level oversight directly to specific environmental targets such as carbon neutrality and water positivity, the company signals that these non-financial metrics are treated with similar rigor to financial performance indicators. This alignment suggests that capital allocation and operational decisions are increasingly influenced by long-term sustainability outcomes rather than short-term compliance requirements alone.

Ion Exchange has scheduled its 62nd Annual General Meeting (AGM) for Friday, September 11, 2026, at 11:00 am.
