Adani Ports Adopts TNFD to Advance Nature-Positive Infrastructure

14 Nov 2025 CW Team

Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) has joined the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) as an official adopter, signalling its commitment to nature-positive infrastructure and enhanced environmental transparency. With this move, the company becomes India’s first Integrated Transport Utility to adopt the TNFD framework, setting a benchmark for biodiversity-aligned development in the maritime sector.

Through TNFD-aligned reporting, APSEZ will assess and disclose its nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities. The initiative strengthens its broader ESG strategy and integrates nature-based considerations into long-term planning and decision-making.

The TNFD is a global, science-driven platform created by organisations including the UN Environment Programme Finance Initiative, UNDP, WWF and Global Canopy. It provides guidance for companies to measure and manage nature-related risks, similar to the financial risk disclosures under the TCFD model.

By joining a select group of global port operators committed to biodiversity stewardship, APSEZ aims to advance responsible growth, reinforce investor confidence and contribute to global efforts to promote sustainable and climate-resilient infrastructure.
