The assessment further evaluated Centena Group’s performance, emphasising strength
and key areas for improvement, where the company scored 71 per cent in preparedness
and awareness. The Group’s key achievements, included reducing its carbon footprint
through best-in-class conservation and energy-efficient practices, closely monitoring
resource consumption, implementing waste segregation for hazardous and electronic
waste, and setting quarterly reduction targets for energy and water usage.

Furthermore, the assessment identified opportunities for greater impact, such as
optimising transportation to reduce emissions, investing in carbon offset initiatives like
tree planting or renewable energy projects and expanding waste reduction strategies to
cover office and food waste alongside hazardous and electronic waste.

Sanjay Raghunath, Chairman and Managing Director of Centena Group said: “At Centena
Group, we believe that real success lies in improving and creating a greater positive
impact. While we take pride in this achievement, it also reflects our long-term strategy to
stringently evaluate ESG readiness across our divisions, identify gaps and build a
targeted growth plan. The ESG Label serves as a roadmap for organisations striving to
align with best global practices in sustainability, and we aim to take meaningful actions
that benefit our stakeholders, communities and the planet.”

data centre technologies, and AI-driven access control systems. The Group’s industrial
and analytical arm, Emphor IPS, supports companies in meeting environmental
standards by providing advanced water analysis and treatment systems, emission
monitoring, and metering solutions.

Similarly, Maritronics, its marine electronics business, safeguards marine ecosystems

empowers students with hands-on learning tools in renewable energy, conservation, and
sustainable mobility, equipping a new generation to tackle future environmental
challenges.
