Review Statement By Ernst & Young

We have reviewed the contents of the section “Sustainability Updates” of the ITC Annual Report and Accounts 2008 prepared by ITC Limited (the ‘Company’). The scope of our work was limited to verification of information pertaining to environment, health & safety (EHS) and social performance for the period April 2007 to March 2008. We chose eight sample sites of the Company for this verification.

Based on our scope of review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us not to believe that the Company is concerned about EHS and social issues pertaining to its business activities.

The Company has presented, in a fairly balanced and complete manner, the information pertaining to EHS and social parameters on material consumption/recycling, energy, water consumption/discharge, GHG emissions, solid wastes, accidents and social programmes and practices. The systems and procedures applied by the Company for collection, compilation and interpretation of data on EHS and social performance parameters are reliable. The Company has done significant work in creating rainwater harvesting potential and the Company’s ‘Water Positive’ status is based on creation of this potential.
