This year marked a defining chapter in our journey, as we continued to
build a business that balances performance with responsibility. In FY 2024–25, Safari
expanded its operational footprint with the launch of the Jaipur plant, further
strengthening our commitment to sustainable and resilient growth. As we scale, our focus
remains firmly on minimising environmental impact, enhancing workplace practices and
supporting the well-being of communities we serve.
We have deepened our environmental stewardship across operations. The
share of renewable energy in our facilities increased from 2.4% to 8%, reflecting a
meaningful transition toward cleaner sources. Reused water now accounts for 32% of total
water consumption, significantly reducing dependence on freshwater. Additionally, we
achieved 100% waste recycling across our manufacturing units, an outcome of disciplined
and structured waste management practices.
To drive further progress, we are pursuing IGBC Green Building
certification, integrating sustainability into how we design and manage our
infrastructure. As our product portfolio grows, we are increasing the use of sustainable
materials and adopting circular design principles that minimise waste and extend product
life - aligning our growth with long-term environmental goals.
Equally, we remain deeply invested in our people. Our workforce grew by
11% during the year, with a 26% increase in the number of women, an encouraging step
towards greater diversity and inclusion. We continue to maintain a workplace where
individuals feel respected, supported and empowered. Structured development programs, open
communication and a strong focus on well-being create an environment where people can
thrive and grow with the organisation. Our teams also actively engage in volunteering and
community partnerships to support local needs.
Our governance framework anchors these efforts. With clearly defined
roles, robust policies and integrated risk management, we ensure consistent
decision-making and strengthen accountability across the organisation. Sustainability is
embedded in our day-to-day choices, shaping how we operate, grow and deliver value
responsibly and purposefully.
