Material Event
On June 17, 2026, Shriram Finance Limited (SFL) released its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) for
FY2026, highlighting the progression in its environmental, social and governance parameters.
Impact of Material Event
ICRA ESG has reviewed SFL’s updated disclosures. Notable developments observed along with inputs shared by the company
resulted in improvements in the environment and governance profile, while the social profile remained broadly unchanged.
Accordingly, the ESG Impact rating was revised to 83 (Outstanding) from 82 (Outstanding).

Rationale
The ESG Impact Rating assigned to SFL has been revised to 83 (Outstanding) from 82 (Outstanding), reflecting the company's
continued strengthening of ESG framework resulting from broader integration of ESG considerations across its value chain
and focus on sustainable financing initiatives. The ratings also factor in the company's established governance practices and
strengthened strategic capabilities arising from its association with MUFG Bank, including the envisaged roadmap for further
ESG integration. SFL continues to deliver meaningful social impact through its financial inclusion-focused business model
and community development initiatives. Nevertheless, the ratings remain moderated by the absence of internationally
aligned, time-bound environmental commitments, renewable energy adoption, relatively low diversity in the workforce and
leadership, elevated attrition levels, and widening income inequality.
77 (Good)
Environment
revised from 76 (Good)
The environment impact score increased from 76(Good) to 77(Good), after factoring in changes in SFL’s environmental
profile, particularly in value chain sustainability. As a financial services institution, the company continues to maintain a
relatively low direct environmental footprint, characterised by low resource consumption, emissions and waste generation.
During FY2026, SFL strengthened its environmental management and disclosure framework through the restatement of
FY2025 energy consumption and emissions parameters following an updated calculation methodology, thereby improving
data accuracy and comparability. Energy consumption remained at a moderate level supported by energy-efficient
measures. However, renewable energy usage remained negligible, largely due to the predominantly leased nature of its
branch network. The company also does not have a formal ISO 50001 (International Standard for Energy Management
Systems). ICRA ESG notes that through its Business Responsibility Policy, SFL has articulated its commitment towards
resource conservation, energy efficiency and environmental protection, although formal quantitative targets across key
environmental parameters remain absent.
In FY2026, SFL further strengthened its climate-related disclosures through expanded Scope 3 reporting, including financed
emissions coverage. The company reported a reduction in both Scope 1 and 2 emission intensity (~13%) and financed
emission intensity (~4%), reflecting improved carbon efficiency across its operations and lending portfolio. SFL’s assessment
for financed emissions now covers a substantial proportion of the lending portfolio. Its Environmental and Social
Management System (ESMS) enables the integration of environmental considerations into lending decisions. The above
measures reflect growing preparedness for mature reporting as a lender. The emissions management score incorporates
these improvements, even as ICRA ESG’s rating methodology does not include the volume of Scope 3 emissions. In addition
to restricting the financing of older, high-emitting vehicles, the company has been scaling its green finance initiatives, with
the green portfolio increasing over Rs. 1,400 crore, while retaining its medium-term target of Rs. 5,000 crore assets under
management (AUM) under the green finance vertical.
Given the nature of its operations, SFL has negligible air emissions and the company reported no sulphur oxides (SOx),
nitrogen oxides (NOx) or particulate matter emissions in FY2026. Water consumption remained low and declined during the
year, supported by conservation initiatives such as sensor-based taps and low operational water intensity. However, the
absence of water recycling and treatment infrastructure across most locations continues to remain a limitation, although
implementation challenges arise from the predominantly leased and geographically dispersed nature of the branch network.

Waste generation reduced significantly to 296 MT in FY2026 from 614 MT in FY2025 and primarily comprised e-waste,
battery waste and non-hazardous waste such as paper, remaining within ICRA ESG thresholds. The company continues to
route waste through authorised recovery and recycling channels while advancing digitalisation initiatives, including
paperless onboarding and collection processes, to reduce paper consumption. SFL’s biodiversity impact is in line with the
previous rating.
At the value chain level, SFL strengthened its environmental oversight through disclosure of BRSR Core indicators for value
chain partners, implementation of a Value Chain Code of Conduct and ESG awareness initiatives for suppliers and partners.
This additional measure resulted in an improvement in the value chain sustainability score. Moreover, the focus on growing
green finance through the Electric Vehicle (EV) financing portfolio, with AUM growing from Rs. 2,63,190 crore in FY2025 to
Rs. 3,02,274 crore in FY2026, lends comfort to t
