At CAMS, the measure of our success transcends beyond financial performance to include the social value we create, efforts taken to foster environmental sustainability and the strength of our governance practices. Relentless focus on weaving a culture rich in ethics, accountability and transparency, reinforced by a Board-approved ESG policy, helps us to create long-term value for our stakeholders. The implementation of our ESG policy and practices, and their continuous monitoring and evaluation, is overseen by a dedicated Board-level CSR & ESG Committee.

As environmental stewards, we continued to take sustained efforts to reduce waste, water and energy consumption. Leveraging the benefits of our tech-enabled solution and robust digital infrastructure, we took significant measures for reducing travel and paper consumption, thus minimising our carbon footprints. Furthermore 100% e-waste generated by the Company was disposed as per regulations.

We have collaborated with Environmental Foundation of India (EFI), a wildlife conservation and habitat restoration group, which focusses on scientific revival of freshwater bodies through a community-based and collaborative conservation effort. It identifies the water bodies that get affected due to human negligence or contaminated due to human activity and works towards restoring them with the help of volunteers and by involving many more citizens through effective public outreach campaigns. The NGO has scientific collaborations with UNESCO-IHE in Netherlands (www.un-ihe.org), which assists it with effective methods of restoration used to revive water bodies globally.

During the year, CAMS supported restoration of 3 ponds in the outskirts of Chennai in Pandeswaram.
