ESG scores disclosed by HDFC Bank
The filing presented two comparable ESG assessments assigned to the bank on the same date:
| ESG rating provider | ESG rating |
|---|---|
| ESG Risk Assessments & Insights Limited | 73.03 |
| Crisil ESG Ratings & Analytics Limited | 76 |
HDFC Bank did not provide additional commentary on the methodology, assessment period or individual environmental, social and governance components underlying the two scores. The exchange intimation was confined to reporting the ratings and explaining how they were prepared.
The disclosure cited Regulation 30 read with Para A(3) of Part A of Schedule III of the Securities and Exchange Board of India’s Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements Regulations, 2015.
Bank says ratings were not commissioned
HDFC Bank clarified that it had not engaged either rating provider for the ratings or related reports. According to the filing, both assessments were prepared independently using information available in the public domain.
This distinction establishes that the disclosed scores were unsolicited assessments rather than ratings commissioned by the bank. The filing did not mention any fee, commercial arrangement, outlook, approval or proposed action linked to the scores.
The intimation was signed by Ajay Agarwal, Company Secretary and Group Head – Secretarial & Group Oversight, for HDFC Bank Limited. It was submitted for the information of the exchanges and appropriate dissemination.
