Sustainability & ESG

Responsible
Business. Always.

We believe that building enduring businesses means building them responsibly — for our communities, our environment, and future generations.

Our Approach

Building for the
Long Term.

At Scaled Holdings, responsible business is not a separate programme — it is how we build. Every company we create, every sector we enter, and every market we operate in is approached with a long-term view that includes the social and environmental consequences of our decisions.

Our ESG framework covers three interconnected areas: environmental responsibility, social investment and community impact, and governance integrity. Progress on all three is evaluated as part of our regular group performance reviews.

E
Environmental

Reducing the environmental footprint of our operations, investing in sustainable infrastructure, and prioritising energy efficiency across all portfolio companies.

S
Social

Investing in local talent, supporting the communities where we operate, and building companies that create economic opportunity — especially in underserved regions.

G
Governance

Maintaining the highest standards of legal compliance, financial integrity, and ethical conduct across every country and sector we operate in.

Community & Society

Rooted in
Kashmir.

Scaled Holdings was born in Srinagar, and our connection to Jammu & Kashmir is not just historical — it is central to who we are. We actively invest in the region: through employment, through ViberNet's connectivity infrastructure, and through education and skills partnerships.

We believe that the best companies help the communities that gave rise to them. Building a successful global conglomerate out of Kashmir is itself a statement — that this region has the talent and the infrastructure to produce world-class businesses.
