L&T’s approach to Corporate Governance is built on a rich legacy of fair and transparent governance and disclosure practices, many of which were in existence even before they were mandated by legislation. The Company’s essential character is rooted in values based on transparency, integrity, professionalism and accountability. At the highest level, the Company continuously endeavours to improve upon these aspects and adopts innovative approaches towards protecting resources, fostering healthy growth and development of talent through empowerment and motivation, and caring for our environment and communities.
Our commitment to health and safety is brought to life through the EHS policy and Environment, Health and Safety Management System (EHSMS). This framework helps us meet regulatory standards and continuously raise the bar for safety across our businesses. The EHSMS provides the structure for implementing responsible business practices for health and safety, with focus on ensuring compliance with regulatory and internal requirements, driving continuous improvement, and supporting our “Mission Zero Harm”.
At L&T, caring for the environment is central to our business ethos. Through the Environment component of our EHS Management System (EHSMS), we demonstrate our commitment to implementing proactive and sustainable practices across all operations.
EHSMS is based on the following elements, essential to ensure proper implementation:

The Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) format was initially introduced in May 2021, which included reporting of more than 100 KPIs across Environment, Social and Governance. In July 2023, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) introduced mandatory disclosure under ‘BRSR Core’ for certain listed companies in India. BRSR Core parameters comprise environmental, social, and financial KPIs. SEBI has also mandated that the top 150 listed entities undergo reasonable assurance by a third party. Reasonable assurance involves understanding systems and controls in place for capturing sustainability performance data used in the preparation of the disclosures, testing of data, records and relevant documentation, analysis and review of key data management systems, processes, and procedures relating to collation, aggregation, validation and reporting of the sustainability information. For details, please refer to the Assurance Statement in BRSR of Integrated Annual Report FY 2024-25.
