1) 2) 3) Water-stress areas have been identified using the AWS tool, maintained and recommended by WRI (World Resources Institute).
The source of water supply in water-stress areas is from municipal water.
The water data for water-stress area covers only India offices of Ahmedabad, Gurugram, Pune (one).
4) *  The water consumption data has been calculated based on the Central Ground Water Authority (CGWA) guidelines. The estimated consumption
is 45 litres per head per working day for offices.

Details of the initiative (Web-link, if any, may be provided along with summary) Outcome of
the initiative
1. Water •
Crisil recycles 5.1% of water consumed during 2024
• Several water efficiency measures have been implemented, including low-flow fixtures,
aerators, sensor-based taps, and regular calibration checks
• Conservation of water resources for rural communities is a new area of intervention
undertaken since 2023 as part of the Company’s CSR programme. During the year, two water
harvesting structures were created in Udaipur (in Rajasthan) and Raigarh (in Maharashtra) –
both predominantly water scarce regions.
