Adani Cement (Orient Cement) First Indian Cement Company to Adopt TNFD Recommendations

The announcement highlights Adani Cement's (which includes Orient Cement) proactive leadership in environmental stewardship by adopting the TNFD framework, setting new industry benchmarks, and outlining significant ESG achievements and future sustainability goals.
Adani Cement, which includes Orient Cement Limited, has become the first Indian cement company to adopt the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) recommendations. This initiative positions Adani Cement among a select group of global industry leaders in nature-positive business transformation. The adoption signifies Adani Cement's commitment to identifying, assessing, managing, and disclosing nature-related risks and opportunities. Formal TNFD-aligned disclosures will commence from Financial Year 2026. This builds upon the Company’s existing nature risk assessment and disclosure practices, which are aligned with globally recognized frameworks. Mr. Vinod Bahety, CEO – Cement Business, Adani Group, stated that this marks a pivotal moment in Adani Cement’s journey towards nature-positive growth and climate leadership, reflecting their belief that responsible business is the foundation of long-term success. Adani Cement has already achieved significant ESG milestones, including planting over 7 million trees and achieving 12x water positivity. The company offers GRIHA-listed low-carbon cement and concrete solutions, with over 85% of its portfolio comprising blended green cement. Adani Cement aims for 30% Alternate Fuel and Raw material (AFR) use and 60% green power share by FY2028, aligning with TNFD principles. The company is also among the four large-scale cement companies globally with SBTi-validated net-zero targets and is the world’s first cement manufacturer to join the Alliance for Industry Decarbonisation (AFID).
