Saregama India has filed its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) for the financial year 2025-26 with the National Stock Exchange of India Limited and the BSE Limited. The submission, dated August 24, 2026, forms part of the company’s Integrated Annual Report for the same period.
The report outlines the entity's adherence to the National Guidelines on Responsible Business Conduct (NGRBC). Saregama, part of the RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group, aligns its sustainability targets with the group’s broader vision, including a long-term goal of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2070 and zero waste to landfill by 2040.
Operational and Environmental Metrics
The company reported total energy consumption from non-renewable sources at 37,92,506.0 Megajoules for FY26, down from 38,95,766.1 Megajoules in the previous year. Greenhouse gas emissions also saw a reduction in Scope 1 emissions, which fell to 150.2 metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent from 314.4 metric tonnes in FY25. Scope 2 emissions remained relatively stable at 724.7 metric tonnes.
| Metric | FY26 | FY25 |
|---|---|---|
| Total Energy (Non-Renewable) | 37,92,506.0 MJ | 38,95,766.1 MJ |
| Scope 1 Emissions | 150.2 MT CO2e | 314.4 MT CO2e |
| Scope 2 Emissions | 724.7 MT CO2e | 764.8 MT CO2e |
Waste generation increased to 30.1 metric tonnes in FY26 compared to 25.8 metric tonnes in FY25. This rise is attributed to an expanded reporting scope that now includes municipal and food waste from all office locations. The company recycled 6.9 metric tonnes of waste and engaged in other recovery operations for 23.8 metric tonnes.
Employee Welfare and Governance
Saregama employed 383 individuals as of the end of FY26, comprising 279 permanent employees and 104 others. The workforce includes 114 female employees, representing 30% of the total headcount. The board of directors features three women, accounting for 37.5% of its composition.
The company spent 0.38% of its total revenue on employee well-being measures in FY26, up from 0.29% in the prior year. These measures include medical expenses, insurance, and canteen costs. All permanent employees are covered under health and accident insurance schemes.
What the Numbers Show
A notable shift in the company's operational footprint is visible in the waste management data. While total waste generated rose by approximately 16% year-on-year, this increase is primarily structural rather than operational. The filing explicitly states that the reporting scope expanded in FY26 to include municipal and food waste, whereas the previous year’s figures did not capture these categories. Consequently, the intensity metrics per rupee of turnover require careful interpretation against this changed baseline.

How does Saregama India plan to accelerate its transition to renewable energy sources to meaningfully progress toward its 2070 net zero emissions target?
Will the expanded waste reporting scope adopted in FY26 make it harder for Saregama to demonstrate year-on-year improvement in its zero waste to landfill goal by 2040?
As Saregama grows its digital music and Carvaan product lines, how might its Scope 3 emissions from supply chain and digital infrastructure evolve in coming years?
