Sustainability and Governance

Paras Defence identified climate change as a material risk, citing potential impacts on supply chain continuity and operational efficiency. Conversely, the company views corporate governance and the ‘Make in India’ initiative as opportunities, leveraging domestic design and assembly capabilities.

The company disclosed that 0.5% of R&D investments were directed toward technologies improving environmental and social impacts, while 99.5% of capital expenditure (capex) served this purpose. Over 60% of inputs were sourced sustainably, supported by a Supplier Code of Conduct. The firm does not practice Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) as its defence products are not reclaimed from customers.

Governance structures include a Board-approved Code of Conduct, Anti-Bribery Policy, and Whistle Blower Policy. The CSR Committee oversees sustainability matters, meeting at least twice annually. No fines, penalties, or regulatory actions were reported during the year.
