Central Bank of India has filed its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report (BRSR) for FY 2025-26 with the stock exchanges, pursuant to Regulation 34(2)(f) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

BRSR is a regulatory framework laid down by SEBI, which provides a structured framework for the disclosure of ESG performance of listed entities as a part of their annual reporting requirements. The framework is aligned with the growing emphasis on sustainability disclosures and business practices among listed entities in India.

Chandrakant Bhagwat, the Company Secretary & Compliance Officer of the bank, signed and submitted the filing. The report is also available on the official website of the bank in the Investor Relations section. The bank's Central Office is situated at Chander Mukhi, Nariman Point, Mumbai.

The submission highlights the Central Bank of India's efforts to be transparent and accountable in its sustainability practices, as part of SEBI's mandate to facilitate Indian corporates in aligning with international best practices in non-financial reporting. After the launch of BRSR guidelines for top 1,000 listed companies by market capitalisation for FY 2022-23, the principal companies are mandated to report on an exhaustive range of metrics related to energy consumption, emissions, water consumption, employee wellness, supply chain, corporate governance, and more. The new disclosure requirements will enable investors, stakeholders and regulators to see a company not just through the lens of its financial performance, but its impact on the environment and society, which is an important consideration in the world of investing.

The timely filing underlines Central Bank of India's commitment to compliance with the regulatory requirements and its recognition of sustainability reporting as supporting responsible corporate governance in the evolving sustainability disclosure landscape in India.
