Mrs. Bectors Food Specialities Limited filed its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, with the stock exchanges on August 26, 2026.

The disclosure covers the company's performance across environmental, social, and governance parameters in accordance with SEBI's listing regulations.

Environmental Performance

The company reported a total energy consumption of 4,96,725 GJ for FY26, an increase from 4,81,031 GJ in the previous year. Renewable sources contributed 20,884 GJ, while non-renewable sources accounted for 4,75,841 GJ. Energy intensity per rupee of turnover adjusted for Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) stood at 501.69 GJ/₹ Million, down from 529.84 GJ/₹ Million in FY25.

Water withdrawal totalled 2,64,790 kiloliters, compared to 2,34,916 kiloliters in FY25. Total water consumption was 2,37,215 kiloliters. The company generated 4,710.84 metric tonnes of waste, of which 4,710.05 metric tonnes were recycled or recovered.

Metric FY26 FY25
Total Energy Consumption (GJ) 4,96,725 4,81,031
Renewable Energy Share (GJ) 20,884 18,977
Water Withdrawal (KL) 2,64,790 2,34,916
Waste Generated (MT) 4,710.84 4,171.92

Greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2) totalled 42,309 metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent, comprising 18,452 metric tonnes from Scope 1 and 23,857 metric tonnes from Scope 2. Scope 3 emissions were not assessed during the reporting year.

Social and Governance Metrics

The company employed 1,336 permanent employees and engaged 5,895 workers at the end of FY26. Female representation among permanent employees was 6%, while it stood at 18% among workers. The board of directors included one female member, representing 12.5% of the total.

Safety records showed zero fatalities and zero Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) for both employees and workers. There were 3 recordable work-related injuries for employees and 7 for workers during the year.

The company reported no fines, penalties, or settlements with regulatory authorities. It also recorded zero complaints related to sexual harassment, discrimination, child labour, or forced labour.

What the Numbers Show

While total energy consumption rose by approximately 3.2% year-on-year, the energy intensity per rupee of turnover (PPP-adjusted) declined by about 5.3%. This divergence suggests that revenue growth outpaced the increase in energy usage, indicating improved operational efficiency despite higher absolute energy inputs.
