Welspun India Achieves Significant Improvement In 2022 Corporate Sustainability Assessment Scores

Welspun India has announced its Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) scores for 2022, receiving an overall score of 59. This is a significant improvement of 23 per cent over last year's score of 48, placing WIL among the top 5 percentile of textile companies globally.

The scores in the environmental, social, and governance dimensions are also in the 93rd, 95th, and 96th percentile, respectively. The company has adapted global ESG trends and practices across its manufacturing facilities, and the recent DJSI score is a reflection of its robust ESG frameworks and implementation of policies at the operational level. 

Welspun India aims to become a carbon and water-neutral company by 2030 and has a clear roadmap to be future-ready with capabilities to create shared value in the communities where it operates.

Sanjay Gupta, CFO, Welspun India, said that the company believes in progressing together as a society, safeguarding the environment, and communities at large. The Dow Jones Sustainability Index evaluates companies in the areas of environment, social responsibilities, and corporate governance structure, making it one of the world's most renowned sustainability indices. 

This enables industries to directly report key sustainability metrics and benchmark their performance on a wide range of ESG dimensions that are relevant to the growing number of sustainability-focused investors and financially relevant to corporate success.
