23 Feb 2026 CW Team

Assessors recognised strengths in climate strategy, water stewardship, workplace practices and governance. Out of over 9,200 companies across 59 industries assessed, only 848 were Yearbook Members, highlighting the select nature of the recognition. The ranking follows the company being named the world’s most sustainable metals and mining company in the S&P Corporate Sustainability Assessment 2025.

The company also received industry awards for reporting, including the Best BRSR Report for manufacturing at the ICAI Sustainability Reporting Awards and Platinum Worldwide recognition at the LACP Spotlight Awards 2025 for its reporting. The chief executive officer said the recognition affirmed sustained efforts to integrate sustainability across operations and strengthened resolve to pursue global benchmarks in sustainable metals production.

A renewable power delivery agreement with Serentica Renewables is expected to raise green energy capacity to 530 megawatt (MW) and to support a target of meeting 70 per cent of electricity requirements through renewables by fiscal year 2028. The company reported a reduction of about zero point six seven million (mn) tonnes (t) in greenhouse gas emissions and an increase in renewables to nearly 19 per cent. It joined the International Council on Mining and Metals as the first Indian member.

Hindustan Zinc, a Vedanta Group company, is the world’s largest integrated zinc producer and among the top five silver producers, supplying more than 40 countries and holding about 77 per cent of India’s primary zinc market. The company launched EcoZen, a low carbon green zinc brand, and said it is water-positive while social programmes have reached two point three mn people.
