ESG rating history Assessment based on data for the Date of rating publication ESG rating^ Rating category year ended March 31, 2024 May 12, 2024 Crisil ESG 52 Adequate March 31, 2025 October 3, 2025 Crisil ESG 51 Adequate ^ESG ratings are different from credit ratings. An ESG rating is an assessment of an entity’s exposure and ability to manage ESG-related risks and opportunities. A credit rating represents the rating agency's opinion on the likelihood of a rated debt obligation being repaid in full and on time. ESG ratings are provided by Crisil ESG Ratings and credit ratings are provided by Crisil Ratings Ltd. **Crisil Ltd launched its ESG scoring business in June 2021 using a robust India-specific framework on the environmental, social and governance aspects. Pursuant to the receipt of ERP registration by Crisil ESG Ratings from the SEBI on April 25, 2024, Crisil Ltd transferred its ESG scoring business to Crisil ESG Ratings on May 03, 2024. Consequently, Crisil's outstanding ESG scores for equity and debt-listed entities have been migrated to Crisil ESG Ratings w.e.f. May 03, 2024, the date of commencement of its operations. Summary The overall ESG rating of Century Plyboards (India) Ltd (CPIL) has increased to ‘Crisil ESG 62’ from ‘Crisil ESG 51’ earlier, with the company moving to the ‘Strong’ category primarily driven by its improved performance on environment (E) and social (S) scores Further, Crisil ESG Ratings has assigned a Core ESG rating1 of ‘Crisil Core ESG 69’ to CPIL. On E pillar, the company has performed better than peers on Scope 1+2 emissions, non-hazardous waste generation and water withdrawal intensity. On S pillar, the company performed better than peers on workforce parameters like gender diversity of workers, higher sourcing from MSMEs and high share of employees trained on safety measures and skill upgradation. CPIL was assessed based on public disclosures on ESG parameters it made at the consolidated level and other information in public domain. The final environmental (E) and social (S) scores are a combination of the company’s performance relative to its peers, as well as the respective sector’s impact on environment and society. Governance (G), on the other hand, is sector- agnostic, and hence has no sectoral performance attached to it. This approach allows Crisil ESG Ratings the flexibility to bring nuanced sector-specific parameters into the assessment of a specific company, while retaining the cross-sector comparability of the final ratings. Pillar-wise ESG scores Environmental (35%) 54 Social (25%) 59 Governance (40%) 70 0 20 40 60 80 100 On a scale of 0-100, with 100 being the highest and 0 the lowest Key strength areas • Lower than peer’s intensities of Scope 1 and 2 emissions, hazardous waste generation and water withdrawal • High share of renewable energy consumption in overall energy consumption mix 1 In-line with the SEBI ERP regulations, Crisil ESG Ratings has assigned Core ESG rating on CPIL.
