Pankaj Adakurkar

Manager - Environment, Health and Safety and ESG

About

With over 16 years of experience, I specialize in driving enterprise-wide Environment, Health, Safety (EHS), and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives. As the Manager of EHS and ESG at Pinnacle Mobility Solutions, I lead the development and implementation of EHS policies, ESG governance frameworks, and compliance systems across multi-state operations. My work includes designing and institutionalizing Environmental and Social Management Systems (ESMS), deploying ISO 14001 and ISO 45001-aligned systems, and monitoring carbon emissions (Scope 1, 2 & 3). At Pinnacle Mobility Solutions, I enable sustainability reporting through BRSR frameworks and supplier ESG assessments while driving resource efficiency and risk reduction initiatives such as energy optimization, water conservation, and waste management. I also lead safety culture enhancement through audits, training programs, and incident investigations, ensuring regulatory compliance and organizational resilience. My goal is to align sustainability strategies with business objectives, delivering measurable environmental and operational impact.
