The TNFD framework is structured around four core areas: governance, strategy, risk management, and impact assessment, ensuring effective monitoring and implementation of sustainability goals.

JSL’s recent sustainability report highlights substantial investments in renewable energy, green hydrogen, and innovative recycling technologies. Additionally, the company has developed Biodiversity Management Plans (BMPs) and conducted nature risk assessments at key manufacturing facilities in Jajpur, Hisar, and Vizag. These efforts align with JSL’s broader objective of integrating sustainability into its operations while supporting environmental conservation and resource efficiency.
