We are actively pursuing decarbonization and environment conservation efforts, as evidenced by our nature protection initiatives. By integrating sustainability across our operations, we aim to create long-term value for stakeholders and contribute to a healthier planet,” Arun Misra, CEO, Hindustan Zinc said.

“We have embarked upon a mission to embrace a Nature Positive future. Our TNFD report reflects our commitment to assess, disclose, and mitigate nature-related risks, aligning seamlessly with global policy goals outlined in the Target 15 of Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework,” said Priya Agarwal Hebbar, Chairperson, Hindustan Zinc.
