Varroc reaffirms commitment to Kham river restoration
Varroc, a global tier-I auto components supplier, reiterates its long-term commitment to embedding sustainability at the core of its innovation and operations, enabling the development of safe, smart, and environmentally responsible mobility solutions. The company highlights strong, measurable progress in renewable energy adoption, carbon reduction, and resource-efficient manufacturing.
Building on the ESG ratings previously assigned by CRISIL ESG Ratings & Analytics Limited (“CRISIL ESG 54”) and SES ESG Research Private Limited (“70.3”), Varroc has further strengthened its ESG performance with a rating of 75 assigned by CFC Finlease Private Limited, a SEBI-registered ESG Rating Provider. The unsolicited rating, based entirely on publicly available disclosures, reflects growing external recognition of Varroc’s sustainability performance and transparency.
Further reinforcing this progress, Varroc’s EcoVadis sustainability rating has also seen an upward revision, improving its score from 44 to 52. With this advancement, the company is now recognized with the EcoVadis “Sustainability Committed” badge, while its global percentile ranking has improved from the 18th to the 34th percentile, signalling stronger performance relative to global peers. This continued progress underscores the strength of Varroc’s ESG framework and continuous enhancements across its global operations. And reflects the company’s commitment to sustainability, designed to drive progress with purpose.
Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Tarang Jain, Chairman and Managing Director, Varroc said, “At Varroc, environmental sustainability is not an initiative, it is a commitment that shapes every aspect of our operations and growth. The improvement in our ESG rating reflects the progress we are making across energy transition, emissions reduction, and responsible manufacturing. On World Earth Day, we reaffirm our responsibility to build a greener future through safe, smart, and sustainable innovation.”
Varroc firmly believes that sustainability is integral to its growth strategy and therefore embeds environmental responsibility into its operations, with a clear focus on decarbonization and sustainable industrial practices. The company has increased renewable energy usage to approximately 40% of its total electricity consumption in FY25-26,and 36% of overall energy consumption, including the process fuels, representing a substantial year-on-year increase, with a clear roadmap to surpass 50% in the near term.
Efficiency-led initiatives across Varroc’s global manufacturing footprint have reduced energy intensity, helping the Company avoid over 28,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions in FY 2026 compared to last year. Further strengthening its climate performance, Varroc achieved an approximately 26% reduction in carbon emissions in FY 2026, supported by the implementation of over 100 energy efficiency projects worldwide during the year.
Beyond energy and emissions, Varroc continues to advance circular manufacturing practices across its operations. Over 90% of total waste generated is recycled, supported by robust scrap management systems that minimise landfill dependency and improve material efficiency. The company has also reduced overall waste generation year-on-year.
Water stewardship remains a key priority, particularly in water-stressed regions. Varroc has implemented Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) systems across key facilities, enabling over 90% wastewater recycling and reuse, reinforcing its commitment to responsible water management.
Extending its sustainability efforts beyond operations, Varroc continues to contribute to the restoration of the Kham River through waste removal, riverbank clean-ups, and community engagement initiatives aimed at long-term ecosystem revival.
