Bank of Baroda has announced the release of its fourth Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) for the Financial Year 2025-26. The report details the bank's commitment to responsible and sustainable growth, focusing on environmental protection, stakeholder engagement, and societal responsibility.
Key highlights from the report include significant progress under the "bobearth" sustainability initiative. The bank has implemented a Board-approved Framework for Green Deposits and Sustainable Financing in line with RBI guidelines. As of March 31, 2026, the bank's Green Deposits portfolio stands at ₹1899.12 crore, the highest among peer banks, with proceeds deployed towards renewable energy and clean mobility.
A major milestone achieved was the successful issuance of ₹10,000 crore Long-Term Green Infrastructure Bonds, making Bank of Baroda the first Indian bank to issue such bonds. These funds are earmarked for financing eligible green projects like renewable energy and energy efficiency.
The bank has also focused on reducing its operational carbon footprint, including energy-efficient retrofits, rooftop solar installations across 528 sites (cumulatively reducing over 10,000 tonnes of CO₂), and LED lighting. Six bank-owned buildings have received IGBC certification.
Further demonstrating its commitment, Bank of Baroda has developed "bob Forest," a 6,000 sq. ft. urban green space at its Corporate Office. The report also emphasizes the bank's role in promoting financial inclusion, supporting MSMEs and women entrepreneurs, and enhancing customer experience through digital transformation.
In terms of ESG performance, the bank's ESG rating was upgraded from "Strong" to "Excellent" by ESGRisk.ai in December 2025. Bank of Baroda also received the prestigious India Climate Samman Award 2026 for Sustainability Investments.
