The score of 72.5 falls within the 'Medium' category, with an ESG grade of B+.
SES ESG independently prepared the report based on publicly available data, as the company did not engage SES for this rating. The report indicates a year-on-year improvement in the ESG score, increasing by 4.5 points from 68.0 in FY2024 to 72.5 in FY2025. Key environmental highlights include the implementation of Zero Liquid Discharge mechanisms across all facilities and 79.57% of renewable energy share in total energy consumption during FY2025. Socially, the company reported zero fatalities in FY2024-25 and provided 100% workforce training on human rights. From a governance perspective, the statutory auditors did not report any qualifications in their report for FY2024-25.
Despite the overall positive rating, SES has noted areas for improvement. These include a decrease in the percentage of total waste recovered, an increase in waste disposed of through landfilling, and a relatively low representation of women in the total workforce (4.11%). Concerns were also raised regarding the attendance of a director at board meetings and the combined role of Chairman and Managing Director.
