Vedanta Aluminium Ranks Second in S&P Global Sustainability Assessment

Vedanta Aluminium has ranked second globally in the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) for the aluminium industry for the third consecutive year. The company achieved its highest-ever score of 84 out of 100, reinforcing its position as a sustainability leader in the global metals sector.

The S&P Global CSA is regarded as one of the most rigorous ESG benchmarks, assessing companies across 62 industries on how effectively they manage and disclose environmental, social and governance risks and opportunities. Vedanta Aluminium’s consistent performance reflects its continued focus on embedding sustainability into core business operations.

The company’s sustainability strategy spans climate action, circular economy practices and social stewardship. Its low-carbon aluminium brands, Restora and Restora Ultra, are produced using renewable energy and have a verified carbon footprint of below 4 tCO?e per tonne, meeting global low-carbon thresholds. These products support Vedanta Aluminium’s target of building a 30 per cent low-carbon aluminium portfolio by 2030.

In FY25, Vedanta Aluminium reported an 8.96 per cent reduction in GHG intensity compared to FY21, consumption of 1.57 billion units of renewable energy, recycling of 16.79 million cubic metres of water, and 100 per cent fly ash utilisation under its Waste-to-Wealth programme. The company has also undertaken community initiatives including water body restoration, afforestation and clean energy access for rural households, aligning industrial growth with long-term environmental responsibility.

Company Quotes: “Sustained leadership in the S&P Global CSA for the third consecutive year is a proud moment for Vedanta Aluminium and a reflection of the culture we are building,” said Priya Agarwal Hebbar, Non-Executive Director, Vedanta Limited.
