Initiative undertaken
Details of the initiative (Web-link, if any, may be provided along-with summary)
Outcome of the initiative
1 Water
i. CRISIL recycles 8.4% of water consumed*
ii. CRISIL House Mumbai, has a sewage treatment plant for recycling of water which is routed to sanitary use and for watering 17,000 sq. ft. of green area in the premises
iii. A number of water efficiency measures have been implemented, including low-flow fixtures, aerators and sensor-based taps and regular calibration checks
iv. Conservation of water resources for rural communities is a new area of intervention undertaken as part of the Company’s CSR programme. Water conservation structures have been created to improve access to drinking water in two tribal villages of Udaipur (Rajasthan), through
• repair/ restoration of open wells
• construction of water storage tanks and
• installation and improvement of water distribution systems
i. We migrated our largest energy consuming premise, CRISIL House Mumbai, to renewable energy commencing 2023, thereby contributing towards significant reduction of our carbon footprint. Proportion of energy consumption from renewable sources enhanced from 5% last year to 58% in 2023.
ii. IT hardware, server and network devices were decommissioned under the cloud migration and tech consolidation projects with an aim to reduce CRISIL’s tech debt and legacy infrastructure. CRISIL saved 151860 kWh of energy through these projects during 2023.
iii. Motion sensors are used to optimise lighting usage.
iv. Electric cars are facilitated by providing appropriate parking slots and charging points at CRISIL House, Mumbai
