Mastek is currently executing a flagship initiative in UK in
collaboration with the Leeds-based charity, Simon on the
Streets. Utilising participatory design methodologies, the
Mastek4Good team has completed an intensive field-
discovery phase alongside frontline outreach workers. We
have mapped complex caseworkers' operational journeys
to isolate and streamline their critical data requirements,
with the goal of ultimately replacing fragmented paper,
messaging, and memory workarounds with a unified,
low-friction experience that ensures safe, trauma-
informed support and enables their team to support more
homeless people.

In addition, Mastek continues to strengthen employee well
being, learning, and leadership development initiatives,
reinforcing an inclusive, future ready, and values driven
workplace culture.

Mastek is dedicated to reducing waste and optimizing
water and energy use as part of its environmental
responsibility. Its offices in India are accredited with
ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. During FY 2025-26, carbon
emissions assessment and benchmarking were
undertaken for the UK, India, Middle East and USA offices
of Mastek. Mastek is committed to being Net Zero by 2030
in the UK and Mastek's overall target is to achieve Net
Zero by 2040. We continue to implement carbon emissions
reduction roadmap with defined targets.

Significant progress has been achieved through reductions
in electricity consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and
water usage, supported by energy efficient technologies
and responsible resource management practices.

During the year, Mastek UK also achieved validation of its
Science Based Targets (SBTi), reinforcing the credibility of
its Net Zero ambitions.

Mastek's ESG performance has been further reinforced
through external recognitions, including an improved
score of 82/100 in the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability
Assessment, inclusion in the S&P Global Sustainability
Yearbook, and achievement of the EcoVadis Silver
Medal, underscoring continuous enhancement across
environmental, social, and governance dimensions.
