Rallis India Limited filed its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) for the financial year 2025-26, disclosing a significant reduction in direct greenhouse gas emissions alongside a rise in indirect emissions. The report, which forms part of the Integrated Annual Report 2025-26, was submitted to the stock exchanges on May 28, 2026. KPMG Assurance and Consulting Services LLP provided reasonable assurance on the sustainability disclosures in the BRSR Core format.
The company reported a 42.9% decrease in Scope 1 emissions, which fell to 17,631.72 metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent in FY26 from 30,896.35 metric tonnes in the previous year. This reduction is primarily attributed to a decrease in natural gas consumption during the reporting period. Conversely, Scope 2 emissions increased by approximately 83.6% to 47,753.20 metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent, driven mainly by the initiation of steam purchases resulting in higher indirect emissions.
