HEG Limited's ESG Rating Improved to 'Crisil ESG 57'
HEG Limited's ESG rating has improved to 'Crisil ESG 57' from 'Crisil ESG 53'. The upgrade reflects improvements in environmental and social parameters, including reduced emissions and energy consumption, and zero LTIFR. The rating remains constrained by the energy-intensive nature of its manufacturing processes and lower renewable energy usage.
An improved ESG rating can positively influence investor perception and access to capital, but it is not a direct financial performance indicator. The rating is unsolicited and has constraints, moderating the impact.
The ESG rating has improved, indicating positive progress in the company's environmental, social, and governance practices.
HEG Limited has received an updated ESG rating of 'Crisil ESG 57' from CRISIL ESG Ratings & Analytics Limited. This rating signifies an improvement from the previous 'Crisil ESG 53'. The enhancement is attributed to advancements in environmental and social parameters, including reduced emissions, lower energy consumption, decreased non-hazardous waste generation, and improved water withdrawal intensity. The company also reported zero Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) for employees and workers and showed progress in domestic sourcing. Furthermore, HEG has strengthened its sustainability profile through resource efficiency initiatives and investments in battery materials and green technologies.
However, the rating continues to be influenced by the inherently energy-intensive nature of graphite electrode manufacturing. Constraints include very low renewable energy consumption compared to peers, higher emissions intensity, energy and water intensity metrics, low gender diversity among workers, and significant loans and investments in related parties.
The assessment was based on disclosures for Fiscal 2026 and other publicly available information. The ESG rating rationale, updated on August 4, 2026, details that the company has not engaged CRISIL ESG Ratings for this evaluation, making it an unsolicited/independent assessment. The previous ratings were 'Crisil ESG 55' (Adequate) published on September 6, 2024, based on data for March 31, 2023, and 'Crisil ESG 53' (Adequate) published on January 13, 2025, based on data for March 31, 2024. An ESG rating is distinct from a credit rating, focusing on an entity's management of ESG-related risks and opportunities.
