Skipper Limited submitted its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) for FY26 to stock exchanges on August 21, 2026. The report outlines the company's environmental, social, and governance (ESG) commitments and performance metrics.
The filing covers standalone operations across manufacturing facilities in West Bengal and Assam, as well as EPC operations. External assurance was not obtained for FY26, though the company plans to undertake external assurance of BRSR Core from FY27 in line with regulatory mandates.
Sustainability Targets
The company has established three primary long-term goals:
- Net Zero Emissions: Targeted by 2050.
- Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD): To be achieved across all business units by 2031.
- Zero Harm: A continuous commitment to employee health and safety.
Progress toward ZLD involves installing Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) and Effluent Treatment Plants (ETPs). The company reported zero fatal accidents during the year.
Energy and Emissions
Total energy consumption rose to 9,22,322 GJ in FY26 from 7,61,567 GJ in FY25. This increase is attributed to the inclusion of the EPC segment in the reporting boundary.
| Metric | FY26 | FY25 |
|---|---|---|
| Total Scope 1 Emissions (tCO2e) | 83,578 | 51,854 |
| Total Scope 2 Emissions (tCO2e) | 41,752 | 38,496 |
| Total Scope 3 Emissions (tCO2e) | 3,52,325 | 1,43,453 |
Scope 1 emissions increased due to the reclassification of welding gases and higher production volumes. However, Scope 2 emissions decreased despite higher production, driven by a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for renewable energy implemented in November 2025.
Water Management
Total water withdrawal increased to 1,22,705 kilolitres from 79,606 kilolitres in FY25, while consumption fell to 58,116 kilolitres from 68,046 kilolitres. The rise in withdrawal reflects the inclusion of EPC sites. The Uluberia facility reuses 100% of treated effluent water in manufacturing processes.
Workforce and Safety
The company employed 1,499 permanent employees and 7,633 workers. Female representation among permanent employees stood at 3%.
The Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) for employees rose to 0.83 from 0.24, and for workers to 2.45 from 2.21. The company attributed this increase to the inclusion of EPC employees and workers in the reporting boundary for FY26.
What the Numbers Show
While total energy consumption and Scope 1 emissions both increased year-on-year, the divergence between rising production and falling Scope 2 emissions indicates the early impact of the renewable energy PPA. The significant jump in Scope 3 emissions (3,52,325 tCO2e) compared to Scope 1 and 2 combined highlights that the majority of the company's carbon footprint lies outside its direct operational control, primarily driven by purchased goods and services.
Historical Stock Returns for Skipper
| 1 Day | 5 Days | 1 Month | 6 Months | 1 Year | 5 Years |

How will Skipper Limited mitigate the significant year-on-year increase in Scope 3 emissions, which now constitute the majority of its carbon footprint?
What specific operational or technological strategies will the company deploy to achieve Zero Liquid Discharge across all units by the 2031 deadline?
Will the planned external assurance of BRSR Core starting in FY27 introduce stricter compliance costs or reveal discrepancies in current self-reported ESG metrics?
