About the Client
Imperial Auto manufactures fluid transmission products for automotive and industrial markets, with 20 manufacturing facilities in India and customers in more than 80 countries.
Imperial Auto partnered with Oren to publish its first Sustainability Report aligned with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards, for FY 2022-23. The aim was to report its ESG performance in a form investors, regulators and customers recognise, and to set up the data processes for future reporting cycles.
The Challenge
- No standard reporting framework: Imperial Auto needed a globally recognised framework to make its ESG and greenhouse gas (GHG) disclosures credible and comparable.
- Data spread across departments: sustainability data sat in different departments and had to be consolidated into one accurate format.
- Clear stakeholder communication: investors, regulators and customers needed a report that made complex ESG metrics easy to follow.
Oren's Solution
- GRI-aligned report, end to end: Oren managed the full development of the report in line with the GRI Standards.
- Data structuring: Oren streamlined ESG and GHG data collection across 30+ locations into a single structure, giving the report a consistent, data-backed basis.
- Report design: Oren designed the report so that metrics such as water consumption, GHG emissions and waste generation were easy for stakeholders to read.
The Outcome
| Impact Area | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Disclosure | First Sustainability Report aligned with the GRI Standards published for FY 2022-23. |
| Data Management | ESG and GHG data from 30+ locations brought into one structured format, ready for the next reporting cycle. |
| Stakeholder Communication | Water, GHG emissions and waste performance presented in a designed report for investors, regulators and customers. |
Conclusion
With its first GRI-aligned Sustainability Report, Imperial Auto now reports its environmental performance, from water to emissions to waste, in a format its investors, regulators and international customers recognise, and has the data structure in place to repeat it each year.
