Key highlights from the report include:

- ₹2.52 crore invested in community initiatives focused on education, water, sanitation, and healthcare.
Mr. Rajesh Kumar Aggarwal, Managing Director, Insecticides (India) Limited, said: “At IIL, sustainability is not a parallel agenda—it is embedded in how we operate, innovate, and grow. Our focus on environmental stewardship, social inclusion, and transparent governance reflects our belief that long-term business success comes from creating value for all stakeholders. We remain committed to expanding renewable energy adoption, promoting resource circularity, and empowering farming communities through knowledge and technology.”
On the environmental front, IIL has implemented multiple efficiency measures across its manufacturing units, including biomass substitution at its Chopanki facility, Automatic Power Factor Correction (APFC) optimization at Dahej, and cooling tower upgrades to reduce energy use and emissions. The company reported total energy consumption of 22,41,065 GJ, with Scope 1 emissions at 14,658 tCO₂e and Scope 2 emissions at 15,354 tCO₂e.
IIL has also advanced biodiversity initiatives by creating a 4,000-plant mini forest in partnership with RIICO, expanding green cover to over 30% of its operational areas, and implementing 818 hectares of water recharge structures in Rajasthan.
On the social front, IIL continues to invest in workforce diversity and development, achieving 18% women representation in executive positions and conducting 4,800+ hours of training focused on safety, compliance, and leadership. The company’s newly launched IIL Growsmart platform features 15+ interactive courses in multiple regional languages to enhance employee learning and product knowledge.
Through its community initiatives, IIL contributed ₹2.52 crore toward rural development programs, including education, sanitation, clean water, and healthcare. Collaborations with agricultural universities, NGOs, and rural schools have further strengthened farmer awareness and community well-being.
In the governance domain, IIL maintained a high standard of transparency and ethics, with a Board comprising 50% independent directors, including two women directors. Its comprehensive policy framework—including the Business Responsibility Policy, Code of Conduct, and Business Partner Code—ensures compliance, ethical operations, and alignment with global disclosure standards.
By embedding ESG principles into its business strategy, Insecticides (India) Limited continues to build a resilient, inclusive, and purpose-driven foundation for sustainable growth, contributing to India’s broader goals of environmental and social responsibility.
