WeWork India has released its first Sustainability Report for FY 2025-26, titled Shared Spaces, Shared Responsibilities. The company developed it with Schneider Electric, a global energy technology company. Their partnership covers real-time energy management and sustainability advisory.
The report follows the Global Reporting Initiative’s GRI Standards 2021. It marks a key step in WeWork India’s ESG reporting journey, offering a full account of its environmental, social, and governance performance since the company’s listing in October 2025.
Sustainability Built Into the Business, Not Added On
The report shows how WeWork India weaves sustainability into how it leases, designs, builds, and runs its spaces, rather than treating it as a side project. It covers three main areas: environmental stewardship, a safe and inclusive workplace, and strong governance. The report also sets clear targets for the years ahead.
Growth and Greener Energy, Side by Side
In FY 2025-26, WeWork India’s revenue grew 23.4% year-on-year to ₹24,774.3 million. Its footprint expanded to 8.6 million square feet across eight cities.
Even as the company grew, its environmental numbers improved too. Renewable electricity made up 27.8% of total electricity use, up from 15.3% the year before, and reached 40% of monthly electricity consumption by March 2026. The company’s Energy Performance Index improved from 132.7 to 128.5 kWh per square metre per year, moving it closer to its FY 2026-27 target of 120.
Combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions fell by about 15.5%, from 35,156.2 tonnes of CO2 equivalent in FY 2024-25 to 29,707.7 tonnes in FY 2025-26. The report also lays out WeWork India’s Scope 3 inventory for the first time, covering indirect emissions across its wider value chain.
What the Leaders Said
Deepak Sharma, Zone President for Greater India and MD & CEO of Schneider Electric India, said advancing energy technology will be critical as India’s built environment keeps scaling. He described the collaboration as going beyond simply installing technology, pointing instead to strategic advisory, data-driven sustainability management, and real-time intelligence as the real drivers of informed decision-making and faster progress toward sustainability goals.
Karan Virwani, Managing Director and CEO of WeWork India, said the future of work will be defined not just by flexibility, but by how responsibly it’s built. He said sustainability now needs to be part of daily decisions, not a separate initiative, and that the first Sustainability Report brings more transparency and accountability to that effort. He credited the Schneider Electric partnership with adding rigour to how the company measures and reports its own performance.
How the Numbers Get Tracked
Since 2022, Schneider Electric has managed WeWork India’s 24×7 central Energy Command Centre, giving the company real-time visibility into HVAC systems and energy loads across its locations. In FY 2025-26, Schneider Electric’s energy assessments and advisory work gave WeWork India clearer visibility into its key sustainability metrics, supporting emissions management, reporting, and longer-term climate planning.
People and Community, Not Just Energy
The report also covers WeWork India’s workforce and community work. Women made up 46% of the workforce and 34% of leadership. The company recorded an employee NPS above 71 and an engagement score of 87, both signs of a strong sense of inclusion at work. Employees took part in employee-led resource groups and contributed beyond their core roles, a pattern that has helped WeWork India earn recognition as a Great Place to Work.
On safety, 100% of workers received health and safety training in FY 2025-26, with zero fatalities and zero high-consequence work-related injuries recorded. The company’s safety record earned it the RoSPA Health and Safety Gold Award 2026, the British Safety Council International Safety Award, and the NSCI Four Golden Star Safety Rating.
WeWork India also invested ₹1.63 crore across four community programmes, covering biodiversity conservation, decentralised waste management, education and livelihood development, and animal welfare. Employees and members logged a combined 967 volunteering hours. Through its Space for a Cause initiative, the company provided 103 desks free of charge to 15 NGOs.
What Comes Next
WeWork India and Schneider Electric plan to keep strengthening the data and governance systems behind this work, including ESG governance, emissions accounting, and data assurance readiness. The partnership will continue to support WeWork India as it deepens how it measures sustainability performance and looks for further ways to cut energy use and emissions across its growing portfolio.
