Company Overview
Mayur Uniquoters Limited is a coated-textile manufacturer producing materials for footwear uppers, insoles, and linings, with production of approximately 1.3 million linear metres per year. Its raw materials span nine categories: fabric, plasticiser, paper, solvent, lacquer, resin, powder, PVC, and chemicals. These materials are domestically sourced within India.
The company has 465 permanent employees and more than 1,100 contract workers at its Jaitpura operations. Its experience supplying coated fabrics to the automotive sector is supported by established quality and management systems, which also contribute to its approach to the footwear supply chain.
The Challenge
Performance. Proof. Recognition
Mayur’s challenge was one of consolidation rather than capability. It held multiple management-system certifications and a Net Zero commitment, but these credentials were spread across different frameworks and audiences. A single ESG assessment could provide a comparable view of its existing systems and practices for customers across the footwear and automotive sectors.
OUR APPROACH
Evidence. Measure. Benchmark.
Build to Sustain applied the SIM framework across both data layers, with particular attention to Mayur’s certification portfolio and climate commitments. Each claim was verified against documentary evidence rather than accepted at face value.
The assessment used the same evidence-first, gated scoring approach applied to other suppliers. Operational scale was considered as context, while the score focused on documented practices, relevant intensity measures, and governance.
EXECUTION
Validate. Rate. Certify.
Mayur completed the assessment with supporting evidence across its governance and safety practices. Its five management-system certifications were verified, its ISO 45001 occupational health and safety system was confirmed, and its Net Zero 2050 commitment, with SBTi alignment in progress, was recorded. The Jaitpura facility’s zero-liquid-effluent status was assessed against the available evidence.
The assessment produced a detailed scorebook and a Gold-tier certificate, with Governance achieving a perfect score of 20/20.
EXECUTION
The Assessment in Detail
Mayur Uniquoters was rated Gold with an overall score of 78/100. Its Governance and Social scores were particularly strong, while Materials & Product was the main area for improvement, reflecting its current level of recycled and bio-based material content.
Pillar scorecard
| Energy & Climate | Water & Effluent | Waste & Circularity | Materials & Product | Health & Safety | Labour & Social | Governance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11/15 | 9/10 | 10/12 | 2/13 | 13/15 | 13/15 | 20/20 |
DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS
Environment 64/100
Solar energy (around 3.5% of total), formal GHG tracking with reported Scope 1+2 emissions, water metering with STP reuse for horticulture, rainwater harvesting, and a formal waste policy with intensity tracking. Materials stewardship is the weak point at 2/13, reflecting low recycled and bio-based content.
Social 87/100
An ISO 45001-certified OHS system, an annual training calendar, PPE per work instructions, documented emergency plans, and full LTIFR/TRIR tracking. Comprehensive welfare benefits including ESI and PF; no labour disputes in three years. Female representation is low at around 1.3%
Governance 100/100
A perfect score anchored by an exceptional five-certification portfolio – ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, IATF 16949, and ISO 27001 – plus BIS product certification, full ethics frameworks, ESG reporting, third-party audits, and a Net Zero 2050 commitment.
STANDOUT STRENGTHS
- The strongest certification portfolio in the cohort: five management-system certifications spanning quality, environment, safety, automotive, and information security.
- An ISO 45001-certified safety system with a full 13/15 on Health & Safety and comprehensive statutory welfare benefits.
- A Net Zero 2050 commitment with SBTi alignment in progress – a forward climate posture rare among suppliers of its type
Improvement Roadmap
The assessment translates into a prioritised set of next steps – the fastest, highest-impact routes to a stronger rating:
| Focus area | Recommended action |
|---|---|
| Materials & Product (2/13) | The single largest opportunity: raise recycled and bio-based content and pursue product carbon footprinting, which would lift the environmental dimension substantially. |
| Renewable energy | Expand the solar share well beyond its current ~3.5% to strengthen Energy & Climate. |
| Safety outcomes | Reduce the lost-time-injury count to convert a certified safety system into a stronger safety record. |
Key Takeaways
- Mayur Uniquoters earned Gold, with the highest governance credentials of any supplier assessed (a perfect 20/20).
- Its certification portfolio and Net Zero commitment give it a ready-made ESG credibility that the rating now quantifies and benchmarks.
- Materials circularity and renewable-energy expansion are the clearest routes to a higher score.
