It reflects our commitment to embedding renewable, low-carbon, and circular solutions across all facets of our operations. As industries worldwide pivot towards sustainable value chains, Himadri is leading that transformation—delivering long-term value for society, the environment, and our stakeholders.”

The certification was granted following an independent and rigorous audit by an authorised ISCC framework certification body. With this achievement, Himadri joins a select group of global companies recognised for responsible sourcing, transparent production, and ecological leadership.

Himadri’s ISCC PLUS certification not only strengthens its sustainability credentials but also reinforces its strategic role in enabling environmentally responsible innovation in the chemical and advanced materials sector.
