Scope 3 emissions have increased in keeping with the business growth.
Expanding the green footprint
CRISIL RE, of CRISIL the flagship environment conservation programme, works on urban afforestation in line with two UN SDGs namely, ‘Climate Action’ and ‘Life on Land’. The programme engages CRISIL employees and their families, friends, and relatives in conservation and other socially responsible activities. So far, this has led to planting of more than 208,000 native trees across cities in India.
Under the aegis of the CRISIL CSR Policy, CRISIL RE, CRISIL’s environmental conservation programme focusses on urban afforestation by planting native trees in the vicinity of CRISIL offices. The programme also strives to actively
engage employees and their families, friends and relatives in environmental conservation. This involves preserving oceans and forests, and addressing climate change and its impact – thereby positively impacting two UN SDGs ‘Climate Action’ and ‘Life on Land’.
Through CRISIL RE, CRISIL Foundation has delivered meaningful impact towards environment conservation, taking the cumulative number of trees planted to over 208,000 (2015 to 2023) across 42 plantation sites. This year, focus was on creating mangrove forests at the Sundarbans (West Bengal), by planting 54,000 saplings.
