CSO and ESTA
CSO and ESTA
The CSO and ESTA oversee the assessment and management of environmental dependencies, impacts, risks, and opportunities, while reviewing future trends to ensure preparedness. Responsibilities include setting and monitoring corporate environmental policies and commitments, as well as measuring progress toward both corporate and science-based targets. Their responsibilities include climate transition planning and overseeing environmental reporting, audits, and verification processes to maintain accountability and transparency. Having a senior level cross-functional task force and steering committee (the ESTA) enables integration of net-zero considerations across areas such as facilities design, sustainable procurement, and inclusion.

We continue to strengthen our measurement and reporting practices and to seek independent assurance of our GHG emissions. The assurance covers Fractal’s carbon accounting/GHG inventory across its facilities, including our three largest facilities in India, which together represent approximately 82% of global leased real estate and around 89% of leased real estate in India under the operational control approach.
