Message
from the Chairman
Dear Stakeholders
The home has taken renewed
importance in recent times, as the
aftermath of COVID-19 established
the importance of a familiar and safe
space. While the purchase of a new
home is often perceived as the delivery
of a physical structure, in reality it is
the starting point of a new life journey.
Similarly, new factories and offices are
markers of a change in the trajectory of
the business. At Mahindra Lifespaces,
we have always viewed our purpose,
strategy, and culture as instruments
to create sustainable value through
crafting spaces that seek to constantly
satisfy evolving customer preferences.
Sustainability is embedded
into our projects right from
land acquisition through
design, planning, construction,
and operations.

On the brighter side, eco-consciousness amongst consumers has seen increased demand for
green products. However, increased consumer interest and demand for our green products are
positive indication for the year ahead.
Geo-political tensions
Economic risks intensified due to the Russia-Ukraine war, which disrupted global supply chains, triggering
spiraling inflation in global commodities including energy, food, fertilizers, metals, and minerals.
COVID-19 disruption
COVID-19 related risks declined due to high penetration of vaccines globally, infrastructure to

Managing Risks
Use of forward-looking scenarios in assessing risk, has helped us strengthen our climate mitigation methodology
and resilience planning by incorporating both transition and physical risks using scenario analysis. This is evident
from the mitigation measures that have been undertaken in FY 2022 for one of our projects in Mumbai. The project
location and its adjoining developments had experienced critical flooding events in recent past. Also, there was
an adjoining Nallah which could overflow into the site during floods. Based on our preliminary analysis, we carried
out a detailed flood mitigation study with help of external experienced partners. We considered 3 scenarios
for the analysis – Present, Future, and Sea Level rise scenarios along with a certain magnitude of rainfall return
periods – 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100-year period. Present scenario considered the land use in the project location at
present situation. Future case considered land use to be densely populated, and sea level rise used 2 scenarios
– lower end RCP 4.5 and extreme scenario RCP 8.5. Based on these scenarios, the grade elevation level of the
development was analyzed to mitigate the impact of flooding. The risk pertaining to each scenario was analyzed,
and associated mitigation measures were recommended with the final decision of elevating the site grade through
filling. Thus, scenario analysis has helped us mitigate the huge impact of extreme weather events such as heavy
rainfall leading to floods.

The skill upgradation for the employees uses a two-tier approach, where some of the skill enhancement initiatives are run
on a group basis, while others are at Mahindra Lifespaces level. The following learning and development initiatives were

The forest cover acts as an excellent filter for urban pollutants and fine particulates which not only improves the air quality
but also reduces temperature by 2-4° C, which in turn reduces the cost of operating artificial climate control systems. It also
acts as a noise and dust barrier and creates small habitat for birds and animals, increasing urban biodiversity. The urban
cover has turned into a beautiful forest with rich biodiversity.

CONSERVATION OF ENERGY, TECHNOLOGY ABSORPTION AND
FOREIGN EXCHANGE EARNINGS AND OUTGO
A. CONSERVATION OF ENERGY:
(i) The steps taken or impact on : Aligned with the Company’s sustainability roadmap across businesses,
conservation of energy adequate measures have been undertaken to reduce energy consumption.
With an intent to meet sustainability commitments on science-based
targets, carbon neutrality, and aligned with our recent commitment to
Net Zero developments by 2030, the Company has incorporated Climate
Responsive Design (CRD) as a first step to build energy efficient residential
homes. This in turn benefits our customers in terms of reduced energy
consumption and hence the maintenance bills. The Company continue to
maintain100 percent green portfolio of products through the IGBC/GRIHA
certification for all our products.
This involves use of Solar PV, Wind turbines, etc, on-site to generate
and consume renewable energy, or use grid powered energy from
renewable sources.
4. LED lamps for common areas and pathways and solar streetlights for
the landscape areas.
5.

254
Board’s Report
(ii) The steps taken by the company for : As stated earlier, integration of renewable energy is one of the three steps
utilising alternate sources of energy; to meet Net Zero commitments.
The Company has been using solar water heaters for hot water generation
and solar PV for common area lighting in selective projects. With our
recently launched Net Zero Residential project wherein 100 percent of
the energy demand is being met using solar and wind energy generated
onsite, and remaining energy being met using power from the grid
generated using renewable sources, the Company’s dependence on
clean sources of energy has increased, and been standardized for our
new developments based on the feasibility of the same.
Also, the Company continues to deploy rooftop solar in integrated cities
such as Mahindra World City (MWC), Jaipur, world’s largest integrated
city, to be C40 Climate Positive Development Program (C40 CPDP)
stage-2 certified, which aims for climate positive development by reducing
emissions onsite and offset emissions from neighbouring community
too as part of its action plan. Apart from reducing emissions in common
areas using solar energy, the Company encourage industrial customers
at MWC Jaipur to install solar through capacity building workshops
thereby contributing to the C40 Climate positive development. The total
installed solar capacity at MWC Jaipur is approx. 7.5 MWp (including our
customers), and 600 KWp under commissioning.
B. TECHNOLOGY ABSORPTION:
(i) The efforts made towards technology : Innovative technologies in new material adoption, construction process
absorption and automation has helped the Company to improve quality of product and
reduce construction timelines. The adoption of new technologies in our
construction process is integral to our goal of bridging the innovation gap
in the real estate development cycle, while continuously enhancing quality
standards and processes. Embedding new digital tools and methods into
the construction value chain enables us to deliver projects faster, with
greater value for our customers; and helps strengthen transparency and
collaboration across stakeholder groups.
A few of the initiatives include:

CREDIT RISK
(i) Credit risk management
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the
Company. Credit risk arises from trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents & other financial assets.
Trade Receivables
The Company’s trade receivables include receivables on sale of residential flats and rent receivable. As per the Company’s flat
handover policy, a flat is handed over to a customer only upon payment of entire amount of consideration. The rent receivables
are secured by security deposits obtained under the lease agreement. Thus, the Company is not exposed to any credit risk
on receivables from sale of residential flats and rent receivables.
For Other Financial Assets, the Company assesses and manages credit risk based on reasonable and supportive forward
looking information. Other Financial Assets are considered to be low credit risk exposure assets.
LIQUIDITY RISK
(i) Liquidity risk management
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has established an appropriate
liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Company’s short-term, medium-term and long-term
funding and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves,
banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by
matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market
prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk such as equity price risk.
The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while
optimising the return. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the Board of Directors.
(i) Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or the future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of
changes in the foreign exchange rate. The Company undertakes few transactions denominated in foreign currencies only
for availing certain services. Hence Foreign currency risk is not significant in comparision to company’s operations.

Interest risk
A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability; however, this will be partially offset by an
increase in the return on the plan’s debt investments.
Longevity risk
The present value of defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the
mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of
the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.
Salary risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan
participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.
The significant actuarial assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:

In respect of the plan, the most recent actuarial valuation of the plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit
obligation were carried out as at 31st March, 2022 by G. N. Agarwal, Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries of India. The
present value of the defined benefit obligation, and the related current service cost and past service cost, were measured
using the projected unit credit method.

(` In lakhs)
The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant.
In practice this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the
sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the
defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been
applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the Balance sheet.
The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to previous
year.
The Company expects to contribute ` NIL lakhs (31st March, 2021 ` 39.79 Lakhs) to the gratuity trusts during the next

CREDIT RISK
(i) Credit risk management
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss
to the Group. Credit risk arises from trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, mutual Funds & other financial
assets.
Trade Receivables
The Group’s trade receivables include receivables on sale of residential flats and rent receivable. As per the Group’s
flat handover policy, a flat is handed over to a customer only upon payment of entire amount of consideration. The rent
receivables are secured by security deposits obtained under the lease agreement. Thus, the Group is not exposed to any
credit risk on receivables from sale of residential flats and rent receivables.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Mutual Funds & Other Financial Assets
For banks and financial institutions, only high rated banks/institutions are accepted. The Group holds cash and cash
equivalents with bank and financial institution counterparties, which are having highest safety ratings based on ratings
published by various credit rating agencies. The Group considers that its cash and cash equivalents have low credit risk
based on external credit ratings of the counterparties.
The Group holds mutual funds with financial institution counterparties, which are having highest safety ratings based on
ratings published by various credit rating agencies. The Group considers that its mutual funds have low credit risk based
on external credit ratings of the counterparties.
For Other Financial Assets, the Group assesses and manages credit risk based on reasonable and supportive forward
looking information. Other financial assets are considered to be low credit risk expsoure assets.

LIQUIDITY RISK
(i) Liquidity risk management
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors, which has established an
appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group’s short-term, medium-term
and long-term funding and liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining
adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities, by continuously monitoring forecast and
actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in
market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk such as equity
price risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable
parameters, while optimising the return. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the Board of
Directors.
(i) Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or the future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of
changes in the foreign exchange rate. The Group undertakes few transactions denominated in foreign currencies
only for availing certain services. Hence Foreign currency risk is not significant in comparision to company’s
operations.

Geographical Information
The Group operates in one reportable geographical segment i.e. “Within India”. Hence, no separate
geographical segment wise disclosure is applicable as per the requirements of Ind AS 108 Operating
Segments.
Segment revenue reported above represents revenue generated from external customers. There were no
inter-segment sales in the current year as well as previous year.
Through its defined benefit plans the Group is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are
detailed below:
Investment risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated using a discount rate which is determined
by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on government bonds.
Interest risk
A decrease in the bond interest rate will increase the plan liability; however, this will be partially offset by an
increase in the return on the plan’s debt investments.
Longevity risk
The present value of defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the best estimate of the
mortality of plan participants both during and after their employment. An increase in the life expectancy of
the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.

Salary risk
The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan
participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.
The significant actuarial assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:
Valuation as at

for the year ended 31st March, 2022
The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant.
In practice this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the
sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the
defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been
applied as when calculating the defined benefit liability recognised in the Balance sheet.
The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analyses did not change compared to previous
year.
The Company expects to contribute ` NIL lakhs (31st March, 2021 ` 48.74 lakhs) to the gratuity trusts during the next
financial year.
Maturity profile of defined benefit obligation:
(` In lakhs)
The Group’s policy is driven by considerations of maximizing returns while ensuring credit quality of the debt instruments.
The asset allocation for plan assets is determined based on investment criteria prescribed under the Indian Income
Tax Act, 1961, and is also subject to other exposure limitations. The Group evaluates the risks, transaction costs and
liquidity for potential investments. To measure plan asset performance, the Group compares actual returns for each asset
category with published benchmarks.
The weighted average age considered for defined benefit obligation as at 31st March 2022 is in the range of 10.14 years
- 35.75 years (31st March, 2021: 11.12 years - 35.93 years)

2. Does the entity have processes in place to avoid/manage conflict of interests involving members of the Board?
(Yes/No) If yes, provide details of the same.
Yes, the entity has a code of conduct for Directors which states that the Director of the company must avoid conflict of
interest. Director should also be mindful of, and seek to avoid, conduct which could reasonably be construed as creating
an appearance of a conflict of interest. A conflict of interest can arise when improper personal benefits accrue to a
director or a member of his/her immediate family as a result of his/her position as a Director of the Company.
While the code does not attempt, and indeed it would not be possible, to describe all conceivable conflict of interest that
could develop. The following are some examples of situations which may constitute conflicts of interest:
1. Working, in any capacity, for a competitor, customer, supplier or other third party while occupying the position of a
Director of the company.
2. Directing business to a supplier owned or managed by, or which employs, a relative or friend.
4. Accepting bribes, kickbacks or any other improper payments for services relating to the conduct of the business of
the company.
Conflicts of interest may not always be well-defined. Any question therefore about a director’s actual or potential conflict
of interest with the company should be brought promptly to the attention of the Chairman of the Board, who will review
the question and determine a proper course of action, including whether consideration or action by the full Board is
necessary. Directors involved in any conflict or potential conflict situations shall recuse themselves from any discussion
or decision relating thereto.
PRINCIPLE 2 Businesses should provide goods and services in a manner that is sustainable and safe
ESSENTIAL INDICATORS
1.
Percentage of R&D and capital expenditure (capex) investments in specific technologies to improve the
environmental and social impacts of product and processes to total R&D and capex investments made by the
entity, respectively.
1-3% of cost of construction in every project is invested in specific technologies or measures to improve the environmental
and social impacts of our residential homes which include climate responsive design (CRD) features such as efficient
glass, appropriate insulation, etc., use of renewable sources of energy (generated on-site), provision of sewage treatment
plant for water recycling and reuse, rainwater harvesting on-site for water reuse to reduce dependency on fresh water,
waste segregation and treatment on-site (100% composting of food waste onsite), etc. Provision of these features in
consumer homes involve capital expenditures and helps reduce the environmental & social impact. Apart from capital
expenses, we also invest in R&D as part of our CSR project through Mahindra TERI Centre of Excellence (MTCoE).
Research at MTCoE aims to build a greener urban future by developing innovative energy efficient solutions tailored
to Indian climates, and aids in decarbonisation of the construction and building sector through provision of open-
source research outcomes in the public domain in the form of guidebooks, guidelines, and various reports for use by all
stakeholders.
2. a. Does the entity have procedures in place for sustainable sourcing? (Yes/No)
Yes, Mahindra Lifespaces’ integrates sustainability into its supply chain and is driven by the Green Supply Chain
Management Policy (GSCM), which ensures minimal/zero environmental and social impacts of its products. In addition,
it also prefers to procure goods and services from vendors who recycle waste or scrap materials and recycle them
to manufacture building materials. MLDL gives priority to the purchase of locally (within 400km of the project from
manufacturing plant) available materials/products of high quality to minimize environmental impact and gives preference
to green certified products (including FSC, GreenPro, & other third-party certified wood-based and other products), and
those which disclose health and environmental attributes with impacts of the same. The policy and requirements are not
only communicated to the supply chain partners, but Mahindra Lifespaces also supports them through capacity building
workshops on sustainability topics to encourage them to improve their processes. The Company gives preference to
the suppliers, contractors, vendors, and manufacturers who take the responsibility of collecting the waste/scrap and
packaging materials from MLDL project sites and upcycle/recycle them to remanufacture newer products (either - same
material / other material / components) to promote circular economy.
Along with the GSCM policy, the company also expects the value chain partners to conduct business responsibly, and
the same is governed by the Code of Conduct for our suppliers & contractors. Adherence to the Code of Conduct by
the value chain partners not only helps maintain a good relationship with the company but also helps improve processes
within the partners business operations as the code provides 3 levels of continuous improvement opportunities for the
partners. The company conducted capacity building workshop sessions for the value chain partners in FY 22 on the code
of conduct requirements and encouraged them to adhere to the environmental, worker conditions, and business ethics
criteria within the code.

3. Describe the processes in place to safely reclaim your products for reusing, recycling, and disposing at the end of
life, for (a) Plastics (including packaging), (b) E-waste, (c) Hazardous waste, and (d) other waste.
Mahindra Lifespace Developers Limited is involved in construction and development of residential homes, and operation
and maintenance of Integrated Cities and Industrial Clusters. Since the lifecycle of such developments is long-term
(>50 years), the company is not involved in reusing, recycling of the developed products. The company does handle
the construction & demotion and other waste generated during construction activity through partnership with authorized
recyclers/waste handlers and reuses most of the construction waste material as applicable. This is in conformation with
the IGBC green certification requirements & above that we receive for all our products. Also, we provide for responsible
& sustainable management of organic and dry waste generated during ‘Use’ phase of the products by our customers
through provision of resource recovery centre (RRC) in our products, composters for composting of 100% organic waste
within the product, and partner with authorized waste handlers for management of recyclables and other waste (e-waste
& other hazardous waste). E-waste is handled centrally through our authorized e-waste handlers – Eco eMarket. Thus,
the company does have responsible processes in place to handle waste generated during construction and use phase
of the products (i.e., residential homes that we develop for our customers and integrated cities and industrial clusters that
we operate and maintain).
4. Whether Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is applicable to the entity’s activities (Yes / No). If yes, whether
the waste collection plan is in line with the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) plan submitted to Pollution
Control Boards? If not, provide steps taken to address the same.
No, Extended Producer Responsibility is not applicable to the company’s activities. But being a 100% green certified
product portfolio real estate company, we have processes in place to handle the waste generated during construction and
use phase of the products (i.e., residential homes that we develop for our customers and integrated cities and industrial
clusters that we operate and maintain). Also, our Green Supply chain management policy encourages procurement
of goods and services from vendors who recycle waste or scrap materials and recycle them to manufacture building
materials, and a step in this direction was undertaken in FY 22 by partnering with vendors who take away the packaging
material (such as cardboard/foam and plastic) for appropriate treatment post-delivery of construction materials. So,
the waste generated within our projects is not only handled sustainably right from the product design stage, but also
encourages and supports our value chain partners to manage it responsibly and sustainably too.

2. If there are any significant social or environmental concerns and/or risks arising from production or disposal
of your products / services, as identified in the Life Cycle Perspective/Assessments (LCA) or through any other
means, briefly describe the same along with action taken to mitigate the same.
The LCA study was conducted in 2014, and the company is in the process of commencing one in FY 23 along with
studying the embodied carbon of building materials. For Mahindra Lifespace Developers Limited (MLDL), the life cycle
of a building consists of the following phases,
1. Design Phase: Includes the feasibility study, and integration of energy efficiency measures within the asset design
itself, inclusion of renewables, climate responsive design study for the buildings.
2. Construction Phase: Includes manufacturing and transportation of building materials, and entire construction activity
of the building.
3. Use Phase: Includes all the use-phase activities of a building over an assumed lifespan of 50 years, which
encompasses the use of energy and fuel within the building including heating, cooling, and lighting
4. End-of-life phase: Includes demolition of the building post its liveable period and involves activities ranging from
demolition or dismantling to transportation of demolition waste to authorized dealers or eventual landfilling.
Except End-of-life phase, all other phases are included in the life cycle assessment (LCA) for MLDL. MLDL involves
relevant stakeholders wherever required to help integrate the sustainability measures across the value chain as part of
the LCA, and thereby support in the goal of achieving carbon neutrality. As far as risk from our products is concerned, all
the ESG risks are integrated into Enterprise-wide risk management (ERM) framework and are mitigated by incorporating
sustainability features and initiatives in the product design and construction and management processes.

Business Responsibility &
Sustainability Report (BRSR)
Mahindra Lifespace Developers Limited is involved in construction and development of residential homes, and operation
and maintenance of Integrated Cities and Industrial Clusters, hence reclamation of product and packaging material is not
applicable to our business. But we do monitor and measure the waste generated and its treatment during the construction
phase of our products and same has been reported under Principle 6 disclosures on waste. All the recyclables (such as
plastic, metal scrap, etc.) are handled by authorized waste handlers and reported annually in our sustainability report.
5. Reclaimed products and their packaging materials (as percentage of products sold) for each product category.
Products for Mahindra Lifespaces include development of residential homes and operation and maintenance of integrated
cities and industrial clusters. So, reclaiming of products and their packaging does not apply to the company. But proper
treatment of recyclable packaging for construction materials is encouraged for material suppliers and has resulted in
take back of packaging materials such as cardboard/foam and plastic by 2 of the material suppliers who recycles them
through authorized vendors, thus ensuring circularity with the construction value chain.
Businesses should respect and promote the well-being of all employees, including those

Career development reviews and performance appraisals are done for all employees annually through the performance
management system (PMS). Quarterly performance check-ins (PCIs) help employees and appraisers review the
performance alignment with the set goals and Key Result Areas (KRAs). 100% employees are covered in the performance
appraisal. Career development or performance management starts with setting of goals (KRAs) and measure of
performance for each employee at the beginning of the financial year in consultation with the appraiser/manager. Once
goals are set and approved by the appraiser, the employee/appraisee monitors the performance against the set goals
& targets and quarterly checks-in the performance in the system with realignment of work/tasks in consultation with the
manager/appraiser. The final appraisal process involves a detailed review with the appraiser/manager on the performance
and career development of the employee, post which the performance ratings are awarded to the employees with
feedback, and subsequent benefits provided to them. Performance and Career development review and appraisal of
employees are aligned with our Performance Management policy.
The company has an occupational health and safety management system, and driven through the Environment,
Occupational Heath, & Safety (EOHS) policy which was revised recently to align with the implementation of new
standard Revised ISO i.e., ISO: 45001: 2018. The management commitment towards EOHS is demonstrated through
adoption of new compliance and notifications during the pandemic period along with its voluntary commitments.
Project specific Legal Register is prepared and monitored across all project locations. Being an ISO 45001 certified
organization, the occupational health and safety management system is built and implemented on the mentioned
standard. The system covers all construction (residential) and operations and maintenance (Integrated Cities and
Industrial Clusters) projects within Mahindra Life spaces. The Company implemented various initiatives under the
new normal guidelines with overall health and hygiene being merged with the SOH&E policy. The achievements
were assessed through management reviews from time to time. At every project location, we have a safety-in-charge
from Mahindra Life spaces in addition to contractor specific safety officers. Project specific safety committee is
established, and improvement areas are discussed monthly. Annual events such as Road Safety Week, National
Safety Day/Month, National Cleanliness Day, and Fire Service Week are organized at each project site. As per new
normal, various topics were deployed to train employees on Safety, Health and Environment. Similarly, meetings
and training programs were deployed for suppliers, with special focus on safety and fire safety. The Induction and
training programs were leveraged by sharing small clips to enhance learning. To strengthen the safety practices,
the Company continues to focus on theme-based safety topics including behaviour Based Safety (BBS) Level 2.
Company carried out statutory Safety audits, Fire Safety Audit, Electrical Safety Audit and Risk Assessment as per
updated safety standards.
Fire incidences in the company has been reduced by reducing fire load. The initiatives in this space include
installation of modern equipment and recyclable stores packaging material in critical areas by substituting the
flammable material as appropriate.
b. What are the processes used to identify work-related hazards and assess risks on a routine and non-routine
basis by the entity?
Our structured OHS management enables us to identify and mitigate risk at a preliminary stage, while deploying
early warning systems to ensure a safe workplace. We have well-defined ‘Hazard Identification Risk Assessment
(HIRA) and control’ standard operating procedure (SOP) for risk identification and mitigation.
Our adept engineers, supported by the workforce, conduct project evaluations to identify operational risks, unsafe
acts, and concerns at the site level. The identified risks are represented through SMARRT (Safe Method and Risk
Reduction Technique) card, which contains safety related information for the anticipated risk at the site. Every
HIRA is prepared by teams who are well qualified and competent for ongoing activities on ground. The HIRA is
updated based on learnings from Good Practices, Incidents & Accidents across projects. Every worker has the
freedom to stop anyone if unsafe act is observed on the site. No case of reprisals has been witnessed till date. This

across locations/regions and the information is displayed in a language easily understood by all workers. As part of
SMARRT, interproject trainings are also leveraged to utilize the expertise of safety specialists across the projects.
Additionally, we utilise monitoring tools such as Daily Work Management (DWM), for conducting periodic inspections,
and incident analysis to be shared with the head office. The safety culture of the organisation is supported by
trainings and capacity building of our workforce. The trainings are aimed at enabling the workforce to perceive,
report, and act on any unsafe and hazardous working conditions. We carry out customised training programs on
risk mitigation, technical skill improvement as well as statutory requirements on Environment, Health and Safety. The
reporting period saw an average of 1,658 hours of safety training to workers per month at site level, with a total of
2,68,693 hours in training.
We conduct in-depth analysis of any incidents that may occur at our sites, with learnings being communicated
throughout sites using existing mechanisms for sharing information. This is done as an effort to ensuring that similar
incidents do not repeat. The overall outcome of the efforts are zero reportable accidents, drop in first aid cases,
and suitable awareness among operatives at all levels paving the way for good safety culture in the organisation.
In our pursuit to provide a safe and dignified workplace, we also work to build awareness of human rights among
employees. We provide one-hour training on human rights to our employees as part of their induction process. We
conduct preventive health examinations annually, especially for employees in the vulnerable age group. The KRA’s
of our staff were revised to include the implementation of safety measures relevant to their functional areas. This
change facilitated workplace safety among the various teams and supported them to work effortlessly towards
improving the safety culture. Subsequently the project teams showed better involvement, participation, visibility,
and awareness at all levels. With workforce and contractor staff turnover figures topping the charts in construction
industry, the constant efforts to stay connected with the workforce have paid off with enhanced near miss reporting
and reduced FAC and better understanding and changes intended by the organisation. The initiatives involving
training have resulted in emphasis on an inclusive safety culture. We reported 2 fatalities and reportable work-
related injuries, while accumulating 8.5 million hours of safe man hours till date. The work-related injuries have been
calculated based on 1000000 hours worked. The number of near misses in FY 22 (1444) is comparable to last
financial year which showcases the effectiveness of our initiatives and the development of our workforce.
c. Whether you have processes for workers to report the work-related hazards and to remove themselves from such
risks.
Yes, Mahindra Lifespaces has standard operating procedures (SOPs) for workers/anyone to report work-related
hazards and remove themselves from these risks. We have well-defined ‘Hazard Identification Risk Assessment
(HIRA) and control’ standard operating procedure (SOP) for risk identification and mitigation. Our adept engineers,
supported by the workforce, conduct project evaluations to identify operational risks, unsafe acts, and concerns at
the site level. The identified risks are represented through SMARRT (Safe Method and Risk Reduction Technique)
card, which contains safety related information for the anticipated risk at the site. We conduct in-depth analysis
of any incidents that may occur at our sites, with learnings being communicated throughout sites using existing
mechanisms for sharing information. This is done as an effort to ensure that similar incidents do not repeat. The
SOP defines the process for reporting of every incident type such as Near Miss Reporting, First-aid cases, and the
likes, and all workers & contractors are briefed as part of induction on the process to report the same. Based on the
incident reported, appropriate mitigation measures are planned and implemented to avoid a repeat of the same. The
overall outcome of the efforts are zero reportable accidents, drop in first aid cases, and suitable awareness among
operatives at all levels paving the way for good safety culture in the organisation.
d. Do the employees/workers of the entity have access to non-occupational medical and healthcare services (Yes/No)?
Yes, Mahindra Lifespaces provides wide range of benefits to its full-time employees which includes life insurance,
healthcare, disability and invalidity coverage, pension, provident fund, stock ownership, and sabbatical for higher
education. With the intent to create a balanced work-life culture, our employees can also avail flexible working
hours, remote working, and parental leaves. We also ensure that our senior employees receive support for a smooth
transition to retired life. As part of the superannuation process, we provide them consultation on health and financial
management through our partnering agencies. In some cases, they are also engaged as advisors based on their
expertise and interest. Every project location has presence of paramedical team on-site to treat minor injuries. Also,
we do organize medical camps annually for our workers and other staff members on-site.

12. Describe the measures taken by the entity to ensure a safe and healthy workplace
Mahindra Lifespaces has been at the forefront of embracing the positive safety culture, a journey we started six years
back. Starting from a reactive organisation, we matured into a proactive one, perceiving risks and rectifying them
systematically. We initiated the journey of creating an inclusive safety culture, wherein all in the system operate with the
realisation that ‘safety is a way of life and our colleague’s actions in safety can be influenced by ours’. 2018 occupational
health and safety management system applies to all our employees and labour force. It enables us to identify and mitigate
risks at a preliminary stage while deploying early warning systems to ensure a safe workplace. Our adept engineers,
supported by the workforce, conduct project evaluations to identify operational risks, unsafe acts, and concerns at the
site level. The identified risks are represented through the SMARRT (Safe Method and Risk Reduction Technique) card,
which contains safety-related information for the anticipated risk at the site. Every worker/employee is inducted on safety
related aspects to be looked into before entering the project site premises or construction work. The safety culture of the
organisation is supported by trainings and capacity building of our workforce. The trainings are aimed at enabling the
workforce to perceive, report, and act on any unsafe and hazardous working conditions. We carry out customised training
programs on risk mitigation, technical skill improvement as well as statutory requirements on Environment, Health and
Safety through daily toolbox talks and training programs.
Our worker welfare programs include initiatives such as ‘Beat the Heat’ – a campaign during summer season to mitigate
the impact of extreme heat across all our projects and provide the suitable working conditions at workplace. This includes
maximizing the work inside the building premises during peak heat hours, awareness sessions on ways to tackle heat
stress to all workmen. Another initiative during the monsoons is the ‘Monsoon preparedness and action plan’ across all
projects to ensure that all the precautions during monsoon like availability of equipment such as dewatering pumps,
material enclosures to avoid wastage, proper drainage and water channels check, etc. and monsoon action team is
deployed at respective projects. During the Covid pandemic, the fear of the unknown was enough to drive the workforce
away from project sites to the security of their hometowns. During the daunting lockdown, our focused and efforts were
channelized towards safeguarding our greatest asset, our manpower. Corporate OHS team’s proactiveness in alerting
all the stakeholders on the impacts and measures to be undertaken proved effective in reducing the impact across
locations. Guidelines and escalation matrix were prepared and daily monitored, daily meetings, trainings with all the
relevant stakeholders were carried out. Medical treatment and allied facilities were made available to all the stakeholders
– workers, employees, management, and other stakeholders. Vaccination was made available to all the workforce and
internal employees too to ensure safety of all the stakeholders.

In FY 22, working conditions at 100% of our project locations was assessed by Mahindra Group Central safety team
to understand the processes in place to help us maintain and improve the working environment for our workforce. The
resulting observations from the assessment led to many corrective actions or implementation of new initiatives. One of the
initiatives was introduction of DWM (Daily Work Management). DWM is a tool to ensure focused inspection covering the
safety and working condition within the project that is monitored, findings captured in the standard observation format,
and status of compliance is reviewed in monthly safety meeting with all projects. DWM also helps us in discovery of new
initiatives and learnings which is added to the standard process and followed across projects. Horizontal deployment
of learnings is shared with all projects. Another corrective action incorporated across projects was mandatory usage of
‘rope grab fall arresters’ to ensure fall protection for critical works in shafts, Rope Suspended platforms (RSPs), external
works etc. Also, safety catch nets are provided for external works (window fixing, plumbing works, etc.), as a measure for
fall protections. These are some of critical corrective measures undertaken post the assessment conducted in FY 22.

2. Whether stakeholder consultation is used to support the identification and management of environmental, and
social topics (Yes / No). If so, provide details of instances as to how the inputs received from stakeholders on
these topics were incorporated into policies and activities of the entity.
Yes, stakeholder consultations help provide support in identification and management of environmental and social
aspects. In FY 22, Mahindra Lifespaces in collaboration with WRI, AEEE, and EcoCollab formulated the business charter
for decarbonization of the building and construction sector value chain. The signatories to the charter committed on priority
actions aligned with Net Zero – Design Net Zero buildings, Adopt science based Net Zero targets, Improve operational
efficiency of Net Zero buildings, mainstream low-carbon materials for net zero buildings, develop and mainstream
climate-aligned building codes and standards, enable monitoring and tracking performance of net-zero building.
These consultations further enhanced our efforts to integrate sustainability in the value chain. Our Green Supply Chain
Management (GSCM) policy, commitment to SBT, Carbon Neutrality and developing Net Zero buildings further aligns with
the commitments as defined in the business charter. Another example of stakeholder consultation resulted in culmination
of ‘Mahindra TERI Centre of Excellence’ a CSR project aimed towards building energy efficient solutions tailored for
Indian climates, and the research findings from the project are available in the public domain for all the stakeholders.
Collaboration with Indo Swiss Building Energy Efficiency Project (BEEP), aimed towards mainstreaming energy-efficient
& thermally comfortable building design for residential and commercial buildings, has helped in strengthening our design
specifications - Climate Responsive Design (CRD) and energy Demand Reduction and ensured Eco-Niwas Samhita
(ENS) compliant projects. Regular consultation with contractors and suppliers helped us understand the need to support
each other in integrating ESG aspects across the value chain. This culminated in creation of Code of Conduct for our
Suppliers and Contractors. So, stakeholder consultation has helped Mahindra Lifespaces in integrating sustainability
(build strong ESG base) across the value chain.
3. Provide details of instances of engagement with, and actions taken to, address the concerns of vulnerable/
marginalised stakeholder groups.
Construction activities does produce various environmental and social impacts. Being a 100% green certified company,
Mahindra Lifespaces has processes in place in the form of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to mitigate or
resolve such impacts. The aspect impact register for every project lists the activity specific environmental and social
hazards with corresponding control/mitigation measures that is aligned with the compliance measures as indicated in
the environmental clearance conditions for each project. Sustainable construction practices help keep the stakeholder
concerns to a minimal. There have been instances of concerns from vulnerable/marginalized groups at project locations,
and our continuous engagement and support has helped resolve them without any adverse impact. For Example,
extreme weather events such as flooding due to heavy rainfall or extreme hight temperatures poses health risk to our
workers on-site. Provision of support in the form of worker welfare programs such as health drinks during extreme high
temperatures, working indoors, helped reduce the social impact. Another instance was of stormwater from neighbouring
villages flooding the customer locations in one of our projects in Gurugram. Engagement with villagers and customers
helped devise a solution to channelize the water appropriately without impacting any stakeholder. Construction noise due
to heavy equipment impacted our customers (in handed over buildings) posed a challenge due to work stoppage and
was resolved through value engineering such as use of insulation and padding to avoid customer discomfort and work
stoppages.
All these instances or activities resulting in stakeholder concerns helped us develop the sustainable construction
practices that helps mitigate the environmental and social impact across projects.

At Mahindra Lifespaces, we have acknowledged and integrated the climate-related risks into our Enterprise Risk
Management Framework (ERM), and continuously monitor, and mitigate the related impacts through various initiatives,
implement the actions outlined in our carbon action plan, develop frameworks for ESG integration into value chain, and
develop and utilize the sustainability roadmap to monitor the efforts in reducing the environmental impact and achieving
the carbon neutrality and other sustainability commitments. We have committed to Carbon Neutrality by 2040 and have
approved Science based targets (SBT) as an enabler to achieve carbon neutrality along with carbon offsets. We have
a detailed carbon neutrality or emission reduction action plan approved by our MD&CEO, and a 5-year sustainability
roadmap 2025 for both residential and IC&IC business to track and monitor the progress against the set targets aligned
with the SBT and carbon neutrality commitments.
In FY 22, we have committed to build Net Zero developments by 2030 with a 3-pronged approach of demand reduction
through climate responsive design, use of efficiency measures, and integration of renewable energy which helps reduce
our Scope 3 GHG emissions. Demand Reduction through Climate Responsive Design includes provision of passive
design strategies such as appropriate use of walling, roofing materials, effective wall-window ratio, effective shading to
reduce solar heat gain, and use of low embodied carbon materials to reduce the GHG emissions. The demand is further
reduced through use of energy efficient equipments such as star rated ACs, lighting, efficient water pumps, etc. and
lastly use Renewable Energy such as onsite solar or wind energy or offsite renewable energy powered from Grid. Our
Net Zero and Nature Positive development journey has been initiated with development of India’s first Net Zero Energy
Residential project – Mahindra Eden, Bengaluru. The project once developed would use 100% renewable energy through
solar and wind energy generated onsite, and through offsite energy from grid powered using renewable sources. These
are the projects or measures to reduce our major components of Scope 3 emissions for residential projects. Energy
sensitization through behavioural interventions, use of efficient lighting, fans, ACs, and use of RE generated onsite or off-
site from grid are few of the projects for reduction of scope 1 and 2 emissions.
Similar strategies are deployed for scope 1 & 2 emission reduction in IC & IC business along with installation of huge
amounts of solar within the sites. Our Integrated City - MWC Chennai consumed renewable energy constituting 33% of
the total energy requirement from electricity powered by renewable energy from grid in FY 22. MWC Chennai is India’s
largest integrated city to be Zero Waste to Landfill (ZWL) certified. 100% of the food waste is treated in a Bio-CNG plant,
and the resultant biogas is used to operate 2 shuttle buses and tractors. Garden waste is composted through windrow
composting within the site, and all recyclables are treated by authorized vendors thereby diverting the waste away from
landfill. At MWC Jaipur, we have onsite rooftop solar of 210 kWp installed on our leased asset – eVolve building and
additional installation is currently in progress and to be completed in FY 23. Additionally, MWC Jaipur is a participant of
C40 Climate Positive Development Program (C40 CPDP) and World’s largest project to be Stage -2 C40 CPDP certified. As
part of the C40 CPDP, MWC Jaipur aims to achieve Climate Positive outcome by reducing emissions on-site and offset the
emissions in the neighbouring communities too. The strategy for GHG emission reduction as part of C40 CPDP includes
reducing operations emissions from energy, waste, and transportation. Under energy, the emission reduction is achieved
through process improvements, use of smart LED streetlight, sensor-based lighting, timer controlled streetlighting, use
of star rated ACs, and use of Solar PV. Under waste, 100% of the organic waste comprising of food and garden waste
is composted on-site thereby diverting 73% of the total waste away from landfill at MWC Jaipur, and we are working on
partnering with authorized vendors for treatment of recyclables which would help divert 100% of the waste away from
landfill. Under transportation, our strategy for emission reduction involves shifting from private modes of transportation to
efficient modes. These are the measures deployed for reducing onsite GHG emissions. Our off-site emission reduction or
credit mechanism includes installation of 61.9 MWp of solar by our partner MEPC thereby abating 181546 tCO2e, LED
distribution in neighbouring community thereby offsetting 163.2 tCO2e, and tree plantation measures.
These are few of our projects on GHG emissions reduction implemented and aligned with our carbon neutrality action
plan, and C40 CPDP roadmap.

9. Briefly describe the waste management practices adopted in your establishments. Describe the strategy adopted
by your company to reduce usage of hazardous and toxic chemicals in your products and processes and the
practices adopted to manage such wastes.
Construction industry contains many elements which yield high carbon footprint such as cement and aggregates
production and transportation. Cement production contributes to 7% of the world’s total CO2 emission. India is the
second largest producer of cement with nearly 2,350 million MMT4. Thus, sustainability in the industry is inevitable to
reduce carbon footprint and conserve natural resources.
We are conscious of the need to use alternative materials for construction that curtail the use of virgin materials in order
to reduce environmental footprint in terms of energy consumption, pollution and waste disposal. To minimize the impact
of these materials, we have incorporated principles of circularity in our operations and aligned our material procurement
strategy with Green Supply Chain Management (https://mldlprodstorage.blob.core.windows.net/live/2022/02/Green-
Supply-Chain-Management-Policy.pdf).
We, at Mahindra Lifespaces, employ innovative techniques to manage waste generated during three stages of a project
namely - design, construction, and occupancy. We minimize waste production by reusing, recycling, and safe disposal
at designated sites. Being a 100% green certified portfolio with IGBC rating of Gold & Above, we prepare a detailed plan
right from the design stage to accommodate for waste management during construction and use phase of our residential
products. Detailed plans are executed on ground by the projects. Our products are provisioned with 100% composting
of organic waste on-site and treatment of recyclables and other waste through partnership with authorized vendors. Each
of the projects is designed to include a resource recovery centre (RRC) for secondary waste segregation to derive value
out of waste. During the construction stages, most of the construction and demolition waste such as waste blocks, tiles,
etc. are reused within the project for roof tiling, kitchen block work, etc. which increases diversion away from landfill and
saves cost too. Scrap material such as steel, iron, aluminium, etc. is sold to authorized handlers to generate recyclable
materials. Our primary objective has been to avoid wastage and reuse materials through innovative interventions.
In our Integrated Cities and Industrial Clusters, we have onsite composting and other organic waste treatment mechanisms
such as use of food waste in biogas plant at Mahindra World City Chennai, Multi-layered plastic being used for co-
processing in cement kilns, etc. which has helped MWC Chennai to be India’s First Integrated City to be ‘Zero Waste to
Landfill (ZWL) certified’. Similar mechanisms are being deployed at MWC Jaipur, which has been able to divert 73% of
the waste away from landfill. Between April 2021 - March 2022, 0.14 million tonnes of the waste were recycled and reused
across businesses.
10. If the entity has operations/offices in/around ecologically sensitive areas (such as national parks, wildlife
sanctuaries, biosphere reserves, wetlands, biodiversity hotspots, forests, coastal regulation zones etc.) where
environmental approvals/clearances are required, please specify details in the following format:
Mahindra Lifespaces has residential projects across 7 Indian cities and Integrated Cities and Industrial Clusters in 4
locations, and none of the projects are in ecologically sensitive areas. Our land selection process ensures screening
out of areas near to ecologically sensitive zones. We do undertake environmental clearances for our projects aligned with
the regulatory requirements. Though none of our projects are in sensitive zones, we do undertake biodiversity studies
through external partners for projects rich in biodiversity and conserve the natural ecosystem (during construction too
through our sustainable construction practices and regular biodiversity assessment for such areas). In FY 22, we did
biodiversity study for one of our projects in Bengaluru rich in flora and fauna, and conservation of the same is part of

7. Does the entity have a business continuity and disaster management plan? Give details in 100 words/ web-link
Environmental Clearance is mandated for every construction project above 150000 sq. m. As part of the Environmental
clearance, we provide a detailed environmental management plan containing the list of construction activities, their
impact and associated mitigation measures across construction and operation phase. Also, every project site requires
to create a Disaster Management Plan as per EC requirements. The Disaster Management Plan includes Emergency
Preparedness Plan, Emergency Response Team, Emergency Communication, Emergency Responsibilities, Emergency
Facilities, and Emergency Actions. Emergency Response plan is implemented and maintained in projects to identify the
potential emergency situations, establish & maintain, the procedures to handle such emergency situations in a prompt
manner to reduce the downtime and expedite the First aid and Medical treatment facilities to the concerned and to
effectively evacuate the Staff / Workmen from the workplace. Emergency Response plan is prepared and communicated
to all personnel in the projects and Emergency mock drills are conducted to review its effectiveness. We tie up with local
hospitals to handle emergency situations. Emergency Response team comprises of project manager and site safety
officer and site engineers. Emergency response plan is reviewed once in six months and updated.
The Covid pandemic was one kind of a disaster and to mitigate the impacts of the same, the Company implemented
several innovative initiatives leveraging its IT infrastructure to ensure business continuity and efficient operations in a
challenging environment:
1. Ensured seamless collaboration within the Company as well as with external partners and vendors through
appropriate work-from-home technologies for tele-conferencing, sharing information and training interventions.
It upgraded HappiEdge — the mobile app for channel partners — with tools required to operate remotely that
increased its adoption manifold.
2. Developed Zero-touch Product Launch and Sales platform and upgraded the Integrated Sales and Service platform
with enhanced communication capabilities. Also implemented business development and land acquisition process
in the integrated platform to evaluate land deals and opportunities.
3. On the projects side, implemented the first two phases of the Project Lifecycle Management (PLCM) solution for
real-time online monitoring of the entire construction value chain. This also helped in linking quality and safety
parameters to work completion and contractor payments.
4. The Company fully implemented a cloud-based Document Management System that enables seamless collaboration
and drives data based sequential decision making, SOP adherence and accountability. Adoption increased
substantially in terms of both processes and functions as well as users. As a result, several functions and workflows
have become completely paperless. Having realized benefits of DMS implementation in residential business,
management has onboarded IC & IC business on to DMS
5. The Company upgraded its Dashboarding and Analytics platforms for business reviews and insights for decision-
making.
8. Disclose any significant adverse impact to the environment, arising from the value chain of the entity. What
mitigation or adaptation measures have been taken by the entity in this regard?
Building and Construction sector alone contributes to ~40% of global GHG emissions and 25% at the national level.
So, decarbonization of the sector needs a priority across the value chain right from reduction of embodied carbon
from construction materials, efficient use of resources (energy, water, materials, etc.) during construction, and efficient
interventions by the customers too. To bind the sustainable vision of value chain partners, requires efforts from
government bodies to formulate the required policies and create a sustainable and thriving regulatory environment
based on innovation and continuous improvement. In FY 22, there have been no adverse impacts to the environment
from any our projects across India. This has been possible due to structured process of development by complying to
all the applicable regulatory requirements, designing climate responsive homes, using energy efficient equipments,
following sustainable construction practices, and use of renewables. Any probable environmental risk and impact is
captured regularly at project locations and in our ESG risk register with financial quantification and mitigation measures
are undertaken accordingly. These risks are also reviewed by the management and Board quarterly and appropriate
actions are undertaken to mitigate the risk. One of the innovative solutions developed by Mahindra Lifespaces to mitigate
the environmental aspects due to the real estate sector was the launch of the ‘Mahindra TERI Centre of Excellence
(MT CoE)’, aimed towards building energy efficient homes tailored to Indian climates. Five-year research work was
concluded at MT CoE in 2021 with commencement of phase 2 of research activities. The research findings in the form of
reports, guidelines, & guidebooks is available in the public domain for use by all value chain partners thereby helping in
decarbonization of the sector.
9. Percentage of value chain partners (by value of business done with such partners) that were assessed for
environmental impacts.
Mahindra Lifespaces conducts assessment of its value chain partners before partnering with them. All its suppliers
are expected to complete a self-assessment on environmental (includes mechanism to mitigate Emissions, presence
of environmental policy, ISO 14001 certification, treatment of water, and the likes), social (includes non-discrimination
in terms of opportunity, employment, wages, treatment, etc. for its employees) and governance aspects (includes
assessment on prevalence of corruption and bribery, ethical business conduct, etc.). In FY 22, ~50% of all our suppliers
completed the self-assessment on ESG parameters. Next step involves physical audits of the supplier premises to verify
the claimed points in the self-assessment and support them in enhancing their ESG profile thereby building a sustainable
value chain. 100% of our contractors are assessed on the environmental parameters such as energy, water consumption,
and waste generation along with regulatory compliances and our Code of Conduct as part of our internal quarterly
sustainability maturity assessment.

not conduct social impact assessment for our development projects in FY 22. Social impacts are assessed for our
CSR projects and activities. A detailed social impact assessment was conducted for MWC Chennai by Tata Institute
of Social Sciences (TISS) in 2014 with an objective of understanding the socio-economic impact of integrated cities on
the neighbouring community, and gaps if any to be mitigated through appropriate actions. A detailed report outlining
the research inputs, activities, output, and outcomes was shared by TISS with recommendations for improvement as
applicable across various areas.

Policy (GSCM), which ensures minimal/zero environmental and social impacts of its products. In addition, it also prefers
to procure goods and services from vendors who recycle waste or scrap materials and recycle them to manufacture
building materials. MLDL gives priority to the purchase of locally (within 400km of the project from manufacturing plant)
available materials/products of high quality to minimize environmental impact and gives preference to green certified
products (including FSC, GreenPro, & other third-party certified wood-based and other products), and those which
disclose health and environmental attributes with impacts of the same. The policy and requirements are not only
communicated to the supply chain partners, but Mahindra Lifespaces also supports them through capacity building
workshops on sustainability topics to encourage them to improve their processes. The Company gives preference to
the suppliers, contractors, vendors, and manufacturers who take the responsibility of collecting the waste/scrap and
packaging materials from MLDL project sites and upcycle/recycle them to remanufacture newer products (same material
/ other material / components) to promote circular economy. 100% of our major materials are procured from local vendors
as aligned with our GSCM policy.

As stated earlier, Environmental and Social impact assessment (ESIA) is conducted for our Integrated Cities and Industrial
Clusters (IC & IC). As 4 of our IC & IC locations are either developed or currently under development, EIA or ESIA
assessments were conducted before the commencement of development. In FY 22, investor backed Environmental and
Social assessment was conducted for MWC Chennai, and another E & S assessment is currently in progress by another
investor. We did not conduct social impact assessment for our development projects in FY 22. A detailed social impact
assessment conduced for MWC Chennai in 2014 by Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) revealed key findings or
problems related to local employment, local procurement, community engagement, sanitation and waste management,
water conservation, infrastructure for transportation, and many others. Actions such as employment to local community
as contractual workers, providing spaces for flourishing of small businesses to cater to the industrial and residential
customer, STP for treatment of sewage water and reuse for gardening and flushing by all customers, Zero Waste to
Land fill, and many more such interventions has helped in true integration of sustainability within MWC Chennai and an
engaged community.

For Mahindra Lifespaces, responsible business practices include being responsible for our business processes,
products; and engaging in responsible relations with employees, customers, and the community. Hence for the Company,
Corporate Social Responsibility goes beyond just adhering to statutory and legal compliances but create social and
environmental value while supporting the company’s business objectives and reducing operating costs; and at the same
time enhancing relationships with key stakeholders and customers. This is clearly articulated in the redefined Core
Purpose which reads as “we will challenge conventional thinking and innovatively use of all our resources to drive
positive change in the lives of our stakeholders and communities across the world, to enable them to Rise”. As our CSR
projects and activities are conducted within the vicinity of the projects that we operate, we do not undertaken activities
in designated aspirational districts as identified by government bodies unless it coincides with vicinity of our operations.
Since MWC Chennai & Jaipur are PPP models with respective governments, few of our CSR projects are conducted in
alignment with government recommendations too.

Sustainable water use. Research outcomes in the form of reports, guidelines, and guidebooks being open source, it aids
in decarbonization of the sector. Being a CSR project, the research helps in reducing the environmental impact due to
real estate developments. More than 150 building materials have been tested for their thermal properties which would
help reduce the energy requirement in buildings and a database has been created for the same. Eco-Niwas Samhita
(ENS) design aider tool helps in designing building in compliance with the ENS requirements. Water (Water Availability
and Treatment for Efficient Reuse) calculator developed as part of the research work would help projects design the water
requirement for any project. Thermal and Visual comfort guidebooks developed at MT CoE through extensive research
would help reduce the environmental and health impacts due to construction of buildings. These are few of the many
benefits derived from conducting research on traditional ways to develop residential buildings with opensource research
outcome available for use to the entire value chain.
