Company Reduced water consumption by 30% through system optimisation despite workforce expansion
NEW DELHI (India CSR): Addverb, a global leader in robotics and warehouse automation solutions, today announced the release of its Sustainability Report for FY 2025–26, highlighting significant progress in water stewardship and resource efficiency alongside its broader environmental, social and governance initiatives.
A key highlight of the report is Addverb’s progress towards water positivity. During FY 2025–26, the company recorded a Water Positivity Index (WPI) of 1.51, with its facility categorised as Water Positive. The company also achieved a 30% reduction in overall water consumption through system optimisation, despite an increase in its workforce. As part of its water stewardship efforts, legal compliance requirements relating to water abstraction, use, recycling and discharge were reviewed, with no major non-compliance identified during the verification period. The company further reduced its GHG emissions intensity by 72.78% and harvested 18,573 KL of rainwater at its Bot Valley and Bot Verse facilities during the year.
The focus on water forms part of Addverb’s broader approach to improving resource efficiency across its operations. Its solar installations at Bot Valley and Bot Verse generated an average of 1,606 kWh of clean energy every day, while 11.57% of the company’s total energy demand was met through renewable sources, mitigating 416.33 tCO₂e emissions during FY 2025–26. Addverb also achieved a 22.01% reduction in Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions and a 28.84% reduction in Scope 3 emissions during the year.

Commenting on the report, Sangeet Kumar, Co-founder and CEO, Addverb, said: “Sustainability is increasingly about how responsibly we use the resources that enable us to grow. Achieving a Water Positivity Index of 1.51 is an important step in our journey, reflecting our focus on managing and conserving water alongside our broader efforts to reduce emissions, increase renewable energy use and improve operational efficiency. For us, responsible growth means making sustainability part of everyday business decisions, not treating it as a separate priority. As we continue to build and scale intelligent automation, we remain committed to creating lasting value for our customers while contributing to a more sustainable and resilient future.”
Addverb has also continued to strengthen its natural ecosystem around its operations, with more than 5,000 trees comprising 25 native flora species that support over 30+ native wildlife species. These initiatives complement the company’s focus on resource conservation and responsible operations.
The report further reflects Addverb’s efforts to embed sustainability across its value chain and governance framework. During FY 2025–26, 19% of supplier evaluations incorporated environmental and social performance parameters, encouraging greater sustainability across the supply chain. The company also formalised a comprehensive Risk Management Policy, strengthening its approach to identifying and managing strategic, operational and sustainability-related risks.
As Addverb continues to expand its global operations, the company is embedding sustainability into the way it designs, manufactures and operates. The progress outlined in its FY 2025–26 Sustainability Report reflects an approach that combines water stewardship, resource efficiency, responsible manufacturing and strong governance with its continued focus on innovation in industrial automation.
