The submission includes an independent assurance statement issued by BDO India Services Private Limited, providing reasonable assurance on the company's core sustainability indicators.

The report covers the company's standalone operations across four manufacturing plants in Anjar, Vapi, and Hyderabad, along with its corporate office. Welspun Living reported a turnover of ₹7,814.2 crore and a net worth of ₹4,077.06 crore for FY26. The filing was made pursuant to Regulation 34(2)(f) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

Environmental Performance

Welspun Living disclosed total energy consumption of 63,52,230 GJ for FY26, comprising renewable and non-renewable sources. The company achieved a reduction in water consumption intensity to 199.39 KL per INR Cr, down from 213.7 KL per INR Cr in the previous year. Total water withdrawal stood at 61,67,270 KL, with significant reliance on third-party water and recycled sewage treatment plant (STP) water.

Greenhouse gas emissions for Scope 1 and Scope 2 totaled approximately 7,96,819 tonnes of CO2 equivalent. The company highlighted initiatives such as a 30 MW solar power plant at Anjar and biomass utilization to reduce carbon footprint. Waste management efforts resulted in diverting 99.98% of waste from landfills at the Anjar facility.

Social and Governance Metrics

The company employed 1,483 permanent employees and 20,598 workers as of March 31, 2026. Female representation among permanent employees was 10%, while female workers constituted 30% of the total worker population. Welspun Living reported zero fatalities and zero lost-time injuries for employees during the fiscal year.

Governance structures include an ESG & CSR Committee of the Board responsible for sustainability oversight. The company maintained compliance with all applicable environmental laws and reported no penalties or fines from regulatory authorities during FY26. Human rights assessments covered 100% of critical value chain partners.

What the Numbers Show

The data reveals a strategic shift toward resource efficiency, particularly in water usage. While total energy consumption remained relatively stable year-over-year, the company significantly reduced its water consumption intensity from 213.7 KL per INR Cr to 199.39 KL per INR Cr. This improvement aligns with the deployment of large-scale sewage treatment plants and rainwater harvesting systems, indicating effective mitigation of operational risks in water-stressed regions like Anjar.
