Speciality Restaurants Limited filed its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) for FY26 on August 18, 2026, providing a detailed overview of its environmental, social, and governance performance. The standalone report covers operations across 123 locations in India and three international markets, serving a diverse clientele through its restaurant and confectionary business. The filing discloses key sustainability metrics, including energy consumption, waste management practices, and workforce safety standards.

Environmental Performance

The company reported total energy consumption of 98,410 GJ for FY26, an increase from 90,722 GJ in FY25. Non-renewable sources accounted for the vast majority of this usage, contributing 98,398 GJ, while renewable sources contributed 12 GJ. Energy intensity per rupee of turnover decreased slightly to 2.17 GJ/lakh of revenue from 2.20 GJ/lakh in the prior year.

Greenhouse gas emissions rose to 12,524 metric tonnes of CO2 equivalent (Scope 1 and Scope 2 combined), up from 11,624 metric tonnes in FY25. Scope 1 emissions increased to 3,996 metric tonnes from 3,722 metric tonnes, while Scope 2 emissions grew to 8,528 metric tonnes from 7,902 metric tonnes. Despite the rise in absolute emissions, emission intensity per rupee of turnover remained stable at 0.28 MtCO2e/lakh of revenue.

Water withdrawal stood at 29,586 kilolitres, sourced entirely from third-party providers. The company discharged 1,413 kilolitres of water, primarily through municipal sewage systems. Waste generation increased to 1,175.83 metric tonnes, driven by non-hazardous garbage waste of 1,147.39 metric tonnes and hazardous used oil of 21.18 metric tonnes. All generated waste was disposed of via authorized vendors.

Operational Initiatives

Speciality Restaurants emphasized infrastructure upgrades to improve resource efficiency. The company installed induction-based cooking equipment across its restaurants and confectionary units, reducing dependence on conventional gas/LPG systems. Additionally, energy-efficient LED lighting was deployed in all outlets, and HVAC systems were optimized to lower electricity consumption. A 20KW solar power plant was established at its Mainland China Restaurant in Delhi.

Workforce and Safety

The company employed 2,570 individuals, comprising 2,512 permanent employees and 78 permanent workers. Women constituted 2% of the total employee base. The turnover rate for permanent employees remained stable at 27% for FY26, consistent with the 26-27% range observed over the past three years.

Safety metrics showed no lost-time injuries, fatalities, or high-consequence work-related injuries for either employees or workers during the year. The company conducted health and safety training for 86% of employees and 96% of workers. One complaint regarding sexual harassment was received and resolved within 90 days in accordance with the POSH Act, 2013.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between rising absolute energy consumption (up 8.5%) and stable energy intensity (flat at ~2.17-2.20 GJ/lakh) suggests that operational scale expansion is outpacing efficiency gains on a per-unit basis. While capital expenditure focused on energy-efficient equipment (21% of capex), the overall reliance on non-renewable energy remained dominant at 99.9% of total consumption, indicating limited progress in decarbonizing the primary energy mix despite targeted infrastructure upgrades.
