Kolkata 03 October 2025: Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Ltd. (CGCEL), one of India’s most trusted consumer electricals brand and a leader in sustainable and innovative consumer durable products, has announced a forward-looking sustainability action roadmap that integrates its entire value chain — from factories to supply chain to product use. This structured approach marks a decisive step toward building a low-carbon, future-ready consumer durables business.
Crompton’s efforts have already garnered global recognition — the Company ranked 4th globally in the Household Durables sector by S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) Ranking 2024and was featured in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2025, placing it amongst the top sustainability performers.
Building on this momentum, the Company believes that making environmentally conscious choices also leads to better business outcomes — by opening up avenues for innovation, energy efficiency, product differentiation and consumer affinity.
Looking ahead, Crompton has set ambitious sustainability goals:
50% reduction in absolute Scope 1 & 2 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions by 2035
60% Emission Intensity Reduction per unit sales by 2035, focused on its highest-selling category – ceiling fans
Crompton has completed detailed carbon footprint assessments for seven major product categories, including fans, lighting, pumps, and appliances. The Company is embedding lifecycle thinking into product design through its Design for Sustainability (DfS) programme. This initiative aims to lower emissions intensity during usage, particularly for high-volume products like ceiling fans. The DfS programme will serve as a central lever to ensure all future product innovation aligns with Crompton’s emission goals while maintaining performance and reliabilityas part of its forward-looking sustainability action roadmap.
The Company’s Highspeed 48 ceiling fan was awarded the CII GreenPro Certification (Type-I eco-label) this year, validating its progress in delivering energy-efficient and environmentally responsible designs. Going forward, the Company also plans to replicate ecolabel certification for representative products across all major categories by 2030.
The Company has also been consciously building its solar portfolio through active participation in solar pump tenders and is simultaneously building a robust solar rooftop and solar lighting business. These efforts will be supplemented with the active usage of solar power at its manufacturing facilities, starting with the facility having the highest carbon emissions, to gradually include other facilities as well.
To ensure data-backed transparency, a centralised ESG dashboard has been deployed across major locations, allowing real-time tracking of emissions, water, and waste. It has also enabled the Company to complete a fully verified ESG audit in FY25. In parallel, Crompton is working on a Sustainable Supply Chain Code of Conduct, which will onboard key vendors into a structured emissions tracking and improvement framework — expanding climate action beyond internal operations.
