CONSERVATION OF ENERGY AND
ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION

Fractal continues to make meaningful and measurable progress
in the management of its environmental responsibilities. During
the financial year 2025-26, Fractal continued to maintain a
focused approach towards energy conservation, greenhouse
gas ('GHG') emissions management, and the adoption of
sustainable operational practices across its India offices in
Mumbai, Gurugram, and Bengaluru. The disclosures set out
in this section reflect the Fractal's ongoing commitment to the
principles of environmental stewardship, resource efficiency,
and transparent sustainability governance.

A. CONSERVATION OF ENERGY

(i) Steps Taken and Impact on Conservation of
Energy

Fractal has taken several targeted measures during
FY 2025-26 to reduce energy consumption and
improve operational efficiency across its facilities.
Regular energy monitoring is carried out across
all operational facilities to identify and address
inefficiencies on an ongoing basis. Energy efficiency
measures include optimized HVAC settings (24-
26°C) and prioritize procurement of energy-efficient
rated equipments (BEE, EPEAT, ENERGY STAR et al).

Refrigeration systems amongst Fractal's largest
offices were progressively transitioned to low
Global Warming Potential (low-GWP) refrigerants,
with faulty units and new purchases being replaced
accordingly. This phased approach is expected to
reduce both direct energy demand and associated
refrigerant-related emissions over time. End-of-life
refrigerant based water dispensers were replaced
with non-refrigerant-based alternatives, and new
procurement was aligned to the same standard,
reducing direct refrigerant emissions.

I n the area of water resource management, total
water consumption across all India sites stood at
9,866 cubic meters during the fiscal year 2025-26.
Fractal is currently in the planning stage for a non¬
invasive water meter pilot program which will enable
granular, real-time monitoring and materially improve
the accuracy of water consumption reporting in
future periods.

With respect to waste management, Fractal is
actively advancing towards TRUE (Total Resource
Use and Efficiency) Zero Waste to Landfill
certification, in collaboration with the Indian Green
Building Council ('IGBC'). Structured programs
for waste segregation, recycling, and reuse are in
place across all facilities, and sustainable material
management and circular economy principles have
been embedded into procurement and facilities
management practices. Fractal aims to achieve TRU E
certification by FY 2026-27, which will represent

a significant milestone in its responsible waste
management programs.

(ii) Steps Taken for Utilizing Alternate Sources of
Energy

Fractal has made significant strides in the adoption
of renewable energy across its India operations.
During FY 2025-26, 100% renewable energy was
sourced for its offices at Mumbai and Bengaluru (3
offices) facilities, resulting in a reduction of over 90%
in indirect emissions, compared to the baseline year

FY 2019-20.

All three Bengaluru facilities, including the two
newer facilities, continue to source Category 3
(Energy - Building Services) HVAC (chiller) electricity
consumption through state provided green power.
Additionally, through sustained engagement with
the base building management (Oberoi Realty,
Mumbai), Fractal successfully transitioned Category
3 HVAC electricity consumption for the Mumbai
office to a Green Tariff, effective January 2026.

I n the area of transport, Fractal is progressively
transitioning its employee transport operations
towards lower-carbon alternatives. Through a
targeted expansion of the electric vehicle (EV) fleet for
business travel, approximately 75% of total business
travel distance is now covered by EVs, resulting
in a significant reduction in Scope 3 Category 6
(Business Travel) emissions. In parallel, for night
transport of its employees, EV's currently account
for 36% of total distance travelled, supporting
the reduction of Scope 3 Category 7 (Employee
Commuting) emissions. Together, these initiatives
reflect Fractal's broader commitment to sustainable
and responsible operations.

(iii) Capital Investment on Energy Conservation
Equipment

During FY 2025-26, Fractal did not incur any
standalone capital expenditure exclusively designated
for energy conservation equipment. However,
energy efficiency and sustainability considerations
are systematically embedded into the Company's
capital procurement and facilities management
decisions. All equipment procured during the year
- including HVAC systems, refrigeration units, water
dispensers, and IT hardware - was evaluated
against recognised energy efficiency standards
such as BEE, EPEAT, and ENERGY STAR ratings,
with energy-efficient alternatives being prioritised
at the time of replacement and new procurement.
The progressive transition to low Global Warming
Potential (low-GWP) refrigerants and the expansion
of the electric vehicle fleet for business and employee
transport further reflect the Company's commitment to
directing capital towards environmentally responsible
and energy-efficient solutions. Accordingly, while

energy conservation investment is not tracked as a
discrete capital line item, it forms an integral part
of Fractal's broader operational and sustainability
capital allocation framework.

B. GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS

Fractal reports its greenhouse gas emissions in accordance
with the GHG Protocol Corporate Accounting and
Reporting Standard, covering its India operations across
Mumbai, Gurugram, and Bengaluru. The emissions data
for FY 2025-26 is summarized below.

Scope 1 — Direct Emissions

Gross Scope 1 direct emissions for FY 2025-26
amounted to approximately 45,390 kg CO₂ equivalent.
These emissions are principally attributable to diesel
consumption from its power backup (DG set) systems,
HVAC operations, refrigeration systems, and fire
extinguisher usage within the boundaries of the Fractal's
India offices. The updated emission factors, along with the
measures described in Section “A” above - including the
adoption of low-GWP refrigerants and the replacement
of refrigerant-based dispensing units- have contributed to
a reduction in Scope 1 emissions during the year.

Scope 2 — Indirect Emissions from Purchased Energy

Gross location-based Scope 2 indirect emissions
amounted to 65,165 kg CO₂ equivalent for FY 2025-26.
The sourcing of 100% renewable energy for the Mumbai
and Bengaluru offices has delivered a reduction of over
90% in indirect emissions, compared to the baseline year
FY 2019-20, representing a significant step forward in
Fractal's transition to low-carbon energy consumption.

Scope 3 — Other Indirect Emissions

Gross Scope 3 other indirect emissions for the year
amounted to 18,126,605 kg CO₂ equivalent. These
emissions encompass a range of value chain activities,
including purchased goods and services, capital goods,
fuel and energy-related activities not included in Scope
1 or 2 (building services energy consumption), waste
generated in operations (including water waste), business
travel (surface and air), and employee commuting
(including employee commute and night-drop transport).
Key Scope 3 reduction initiatives include the transition of
Category 3 (Energy - Building Services) HVAC electricity
to a Green Tariff from January 2026, achieved through
sustained engagement with base building management
(Oberoi Realty, Mumbai); a growing EV fleet now covering
approximately 75% of business travel distance and 36% of
night transport distance, with the latter targeted to reach
50% by 2030; and ongoing water conservation efforts
encompassing behavioral awareness programs, sensor-
based washroom taps, and continuous utility monitoring.

C. GHG ASSURANCE AND REPORTING
FRAMEWORK

Fractal has maintained independent third-party assurance
for past six fiscals (FY 2019-20 through FY 2024-25)
under the AA1000AS standard. Fractal continues to
subject its GHG data and sustainability disclosures to
independent third-party assurance under the AA1000
Assurance Standard (AA1000AS). This assurance process
is grounded in the principles of inclusivity, materiality, and
responsiveness to stakeholder concerns, and provides
reasonable confidence in the reliability and completeness
of the information disclosed.

D. CERTIFICATIONS AND STRATEGIC MILESTONES

Fractal maintained its ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental
Management Systems) and ISO 45001:2018
(Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems)
certifications at its major facilities during FY 2025-26. In a
meaningful expansion of this program, both certifications
were extended during the year to co-working spaces
in Pune and Noida, and to two newly managed office
locations in Bengaluru, thereby ensuring that consistent
environmental and safety management standards are
upheld across all of Fractal's operational locations.

Building upon the WELL Platinum certification achieved by
the Mumbai office in FY 2023-24, the Fractal initiated
the adoption of WELL Platinum design standards for new
workplace fit outs in FY 2025-26. This initiative reflects
Fractal's commitment to creating workplaces that promote
the health, well-being, and productivity of its employees
while meeting the highest internationally recognized
standards of sustainable design.

TRUE Zero Waste to Landfill Certification:

Fractal is advancing toward TRUE (Total Resource Use
and Efficiency) certification in collaboration with IGBC,
reinforcing its commitment to zero-waste principles.

This initiative emphasizes:

• Waste reduction through segregation, recycling,
and reuse

• Adoption of sustainable material management
practices

• Implementation of a circular economy approach

The organization aims to achieve TRUE certification by
FY 2026-27 marking a significant milestone in responsible
waste management and operational excellence.

E. FUTURE COMMITMENTS

Fractal will continue aligning its operational and
sustainability strategies with globally recognized
frameworks, including:

AA1000AS, GRI, LEED, WELL, IGBC, and ISO standards.
These efforts will ensure:

• Transparent and credible ESG reporting
