Shriram Finance Releases FY25-26 Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report
Shriram Finance Limited has released its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report for FY 2025-26. The report covers operational details, ESG risks and opportunities, and commitments towards sustainability. Key initiatives include a ₹5,000 crore AUM target for Green Finance and a 10% reduction in energy intensity. The company serves over 9.73 million customers, with a focus on financial inclusion in rural and semi-urban areas.
This is a standard disclosure of the Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report, which is a regulatory requirement. It does not introduce any new material information that is likely to significantly impact the company's stock price or business operations in the short term.
The announcement is a routine regulatory filing of the Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report for the financial year. While it details positive initiatives and commitments, it does not contain any new financial results or significant forward-looking statements that would warrant a positive or negative sentiment.
Shriram Finance Limited has submitted its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) for the Financial Year 2025-26 to the stock exchanges. This report, which includes a Reasonable Assurance Report on BRSR Core Indicators by FAP Solutions Private Limited, forms part of the company's 47th Annual Report.
The BRSR provides comprehensive disclosures across various aspects of the company's operations, including details about its corporate identity, business activities which are primarily in financial services contributing 93.40% of turnover, and its extensive market reach across 31 states and union territories in India. The company employs 76,241 permanent employees, with a notable representation of women in business support and corporate functions.
The report also details the company's commitment to CSR, with a turnover of ₹4,81,77,97,71,445.59 and a net worth of ₹6,52,44,09,43,485.29. Grievance redressal mechanisms are in place for communities, investors, shareholders, employees, and customers, with most complaints being resolved within the reporting period.
Shriram Finance identified 17 material ESG issues, categorizing them as risks and opportunities. Key areas include GHG Emissions, Climate Change, Waste Management, Human Capital Management, Diversity & Inclusion, Human Rights, Customer Support & Satisfaction, Community Well-being, Financial Inclusion, Responsible Financing, Data Security & Privacy, Consumer Financial Protection, Corporate Governance, Business Ethics, Regulatory Compliance, Risk Management, and Innovation & Digitisation. The company has outlined its approach to mitigate risks and capitalize on opportunities, with financial implications noted for each.
The report highlights specific commitments and targets, such as achieving carbon neutrality for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, strengthening Scope 3 emissions management, and a target of ₹5,000 crore AUM under the Green Finance vertical. Performance against these targets includes an approximate 10% reduction in energy intensity and a 13% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emission intensity per rupee of turnover. The Green Finance portfolio reached over ₹1400 crore as of March 31, 2026.
On the social front, the company continues to foster an inclusive workplace, enhance gender diversity, and improve accessibility for differently-abled employees. CSR initiatives have impacted over 3.90 lakh beneficiaries. The company also reinforced its governance practices through enhanced oversight by the ESG Committee and a Double Materiality Assessment.
The Managing Director & CEO, Mr. Parag Sharma, stated that the company remains focused on delivering financial solutions while promoting sustainable finance and reducing environmental impact. He highlighted initiatives in financing alternate fuel vehicles, electric vehicles, and renewable energy technologies, alongside digitization efforts and resource conservation. The company also supports education, healthcare, and skill development, providing scholarships to over 4,96,000 children and offering a preventive healthcare program for truckers.
