Sustainability Performance

The company reported significant progress in its decarbonization efforts, achieving 93% progress toward its goal of becoming net zero carbon in direct operations (Scope 1 and 2). United Spirits reached 99.09% renewable energy share across manufacturing operations, supported by on-site renewable generation and the procurement of International Renewable Electricity Certificates (I-RECs). The company has maintained zero coal operations across all distilleries for the past five years.

Operational Metrics

The reporting boundary for non-financial information covers owned manufacturing sites, owned and leased offices, and warehouses. Key environmental metrics for FY 2025-26 include:

The company reported that water intensity per rupee of turnover improved by 13% in FY26, driven by process optimization and higher condensate recovery. However, energy and emission intensity based on physical output increased due to a volume mix change and a portfolio shift to Grain Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA).
