The company also reported a 30% reduction in overall water consumption through system optimisation despite an increase in its workforce. During the year, Addverb reviewed legal compliance requirements covering water abstraction, use, recycling and discharge, with no major non-compliance identified during the verification period.

As part of its water management measures, Addverb harvested 18,573 kilolitres (KL) of rainwater at its Bot Valley and Bot Verse facilities. The company also reduced its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity by 72.78% during FY26.

Progress on Energy and Emissions

Addverb’s sustainability report also highlights progress in renewable energy use and emissions reduction. Solar installations at Bot Valley and Bot Verse generated an average of 1,606 kWh of clean energy per day during the year.

Renewable sources accounted for 11.57% of the company’s total energy demand, helping mitigate 416.33 tCO₂e of emissions in FY 2025–26.

The company reported a 22.01% reduction in Scope 1 GHG emissions and a 28.84% reduction in Scope 3 emissions during the year.

Commenting on the report, Mr. Sangeet Kumar, Co-founder and CEO, Addverb, said: “Sustainability is increasingly about how responsibly we use the resources that enable us to grow. Achieving a Water Positivity Index of 1.51 is an important step in our journey, reflecting our focus on managing and conserving water alongside our broader efforts to reduce emissions, increase renewable energy use and improve operational efficiency. For us, responsible growth means making sustainability part of everyday business decisions, not treating it as a separate priority. As we continue to build and scale intelligent automation, we remain committed to creating lasting value for our customers while contributing to a more sustainable and resilient future.”
