An ESG rating, while important for corporate reputation and long-term investment, typically does not have an immediate, direct impact on the company's operational performance or financial results in the short term. It is more of a reputational and strategic indicator.
The announcement is a factual report of an ESG rating. While the rating is 'Leader', the slight decrease from the previous year and some areas of concern mentioned in the detailed report prevent a strongly positive sentiment. The company did not engage the rating agency, which adds a neutral context.
ABB India Limited has received an ESG rating of "76" for FY 2025 from NSE Sustainability Ratings & Analytics Ltd. The rating report, received via email on December 09, 2025, was independently prepared by NSE Sustainability Ratings & Analytics Ltd. based on publicly available information, and the company had not engaged them for this rating.
The rating report indicates an Environment Score of 80, a Social Score of 73, and a Governance Score of 75. The overall ESG Rating for FY2025 stands at 76, a slight decrease from 77 in FY2024. The company has been categorized as a "Leader" in ESG.
The assessment highlighted several key drivers for each pillar. For the Environment pillar (Weightage 40%), the company's greenhouse gas emissions and energy intensity are below industry averages, and renewable energy usage surpasses industry norms. However, Scope 3 emissions and water intensity are higher than standard practices, and waste intensity has increased.
In the Social pillar (Weightage 29%), the company reported no fatalities, and permanent employees have health and accident insurance coverage at par with industry norms. Employee turnover is lower than average, and customer complaint frequency is below benchmarks. However, the lost time incident rate for workers is high, and the company receives a high number of employee grievances. The percentage of female employees meets industry standards.
For the Governance pillar (Weightage 31%), ABB India demonstrates a stronger presence of independent directors on its board and committees than legally required, fulfilling regulatory requirements for women on the board and ensuring better-than-statutory representation on its Audit, Risk Management, and CSR committees.
A Core ESG Rating of 68 was also achieved, comprising an environment score of 62, a Social Score of 66, and a Governance Score of 79. The rating methodology employed by NSE Sustainability Ratings & Analytics Ltd. considers performance, compliance, policy, initiatives, and best practices, benchmarking against industry peers and utilizing publicly disclosed data.
