Water Conservation
Dwindling freshwater resources and erratic changes in weather
patterns have highlighted the need for water conservation.
Recognising the importance of water conservation, Crisil has
made efforts to recycle water and leverage technology to
improve water efficiency, wherever possible.
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.
Apart from urban afforestation, Crisil has taken decisive
steps to reduce plastic waste and safeguard our precious
aquatic ecosystem. Through extensive beach and wetland
clean-up drives, Crisil is actively combating the adverse
effects of marine pollution.

Crisil recycled 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
*Water data is available only for Mumbai(two), Pune(one), Gurugram, Ahmedabad, Kolkata offices, which are exclusively managed and
controlled by Crisil.
Waste Management
In 2024, we continued our efforts to monitor both wet and dry
waste through the standard operating procedures rolled out
in 2022. While dry waste was handed over to scrap vendors
for recycling, wet waste was directed to certified vendors for
processing at suitable locations.
Additional details on waste recovery can be found in Table
28(a) of the Sustainability Databook.
Continuing our commitment towards responsible paper
consumption, we transitioned five offices to eco-friendly
printer paper consumption in 2024 and have increased
office printing usage of eco-friendly paper to 90% in 2024
compared with 71% in 2023. We are continuously monitoring
opportunities to replace printing activities with eco-friendly
paper alternatives.
90.86%
waste generated across Crisil offices in India
was recycled in 2024
90%
of all in-house office printing in our India offices was
done on eco-friendly paper in 2024 v/s 71% in 2023
