Equitas Small Finance Bank has been assigned an ESG score of 62 by ESG Risk Assessments and Insights Limited, following an independent review based entirely on information available in the public domain. 

The assessment was carried out without any involvement from the bank. Equitas had not commissioned the exercise, nor did it submit additional data to the rating provider for arriving at the score. 

Assessment Conducted Without Bank Participation 

ESG Risk Assessments and Insights Limited carried out the evaluation independently rather than at the request of Equitas Small Finance Bank. The agency is registered with the Securities and Exchange Board of India as a Category I Subscriber-Pays ESG Rating Provider. 

Since Equitas did not participate in the exercise, the score was determined from publicly available information. The bank also did not provide any specific data to supplement the material considered by the agency. 

Equitas became aware of the assessment through an email received from the rating provider at 5:47 pm IST on September 9. 

ESG Score Carries No Additional Interpretation From Bank 

The disclosure does not classify the score of 62 as strong, weak or improved, nor does it compare the latest assessment with an earlier ESG score. 

That distinction matters because the available update establishes only the score and how it was arrived at. It does not provide a broader assessment of the bank’s ESG performance or indicate a change from any previous rating. 

Equitas disclosed the development to the National Stock Exchange and BSE on September 10 under Regulation 30 of the SEBI Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements Regulations, 2015.
