In fact, we were one of the first NBFCs to embrace sustainability and make it a part of our DNA. ESG is accorded an important place in the organisation starting right from the top wherein there are focused discussions on ESG performance at every board meeting. We have identified ESG as one of the four drivers of growth in our strategic plan Lakshya 2026, a fact that further highlights our continuous commitment towards giving back to the society and being a responsible corporate citizen. Winning in the 'Business Sustainability' category in the inaugural edition of the Dun and Bradstreet Awards is a shot in the arm for us. This award conferred by a reputable provider of business decisioning data and analytics is yet another validation of our ESG practices."
