About EcoVadis

EcoVadis is a global business sustainability assessment platform that evaluates organisations across four pillars – Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement – based on the maturity of ESG management systems, implementation and reporting.

Leadership Comments

Jamshyd Godrej, Chairman and Managing Director, said sustainability is becoming a defining measure of global business competitiveness and that the EcoVadis benchmark validates the Group’s long‑standing commitment to inclusive and responsible manufacturing, ethical practices and sustainable innovation. Anil G Verma, Executive Director and CEO, described the Gold Medal as a strong validation of the Group’s integration of responsible practices across products, operations and supply chain, and noted that sustainable growth is driven by innovation, operational excellence and strong governance.

ESG Pillar Highlights

  • Environment – The assessment recognised an exemplary Environment Policy, significant improvements in energy and carbon productivity, progress toward water‑positive operations, enhanced water‑use efficiency, achievement of zero waste to landfill, expanded circular‑economy initiatives at manufacturing facilities and scaled‑up renewable‑energy adoption.
  • Labour & Human Rights – Initiatives were acknowledged for employee wellbeing, diversity and inclusion, occupational health and safety, continuous learning and capability development, supported by robust management systems and workforce reporting.
  • Ethics – The Group’s governance framework was praised for comprehensive anti‑corruption, fraud‑prevention, conflict‑of‑interest, whistle‑blower protection and information‑security policies, together with enhanced compliance mechanisms and enterprise‑wide governance processes.
  • Sustainable Procurement – The Green Procurement Programme was expanded to embed ESG considerations into supplier engagement and responsible sourcing. The Group works with suppliers certified under recognised sustainability frameworks such as GreenCo, EcoVadis, the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and ZED, thereby strengthening lower‑carbon and more resilient value chains.
