This award recognizes the company's strong ESG disclosures and commitment to sustainability. CEO Arun Misra highlighted that sustainability is core to operations and reporting.

Hindustan Zinc Limited (HZL) has been awarded the 'Best BRSR Report – Manufacturing (Large Cap)' at the 4th ICAI Sustainability Reporting Awards held on February 01, 2026. This recognition highlights the company's commitment to ethical governance, responsible manufacturing, and transparent ESG disclosures.
The award acknowledges HZL's FY 2024-25 BRSR for its strong governance-led disclosures on material ESG indicators, including energy, emissions, water stewardship, biodiversity, occupational health & safety, community impact, and business conduct. The company has a history of proactive ESG reporting, having voluntarily adopted BRSR in FY 2021-22 before it became mandatory.
Mr. Arun Misra, CEO of Hindustan Zinc, stated that sustainability is integral to the company's operations and reporting, emphasizing that transparent disclosure builds long-term trust. HZL's sustainability efforts include integrating decarbonisation, clean energy transition, and responsible resource stewardship. The company has a Power Delivery Agreement with Serentica Renewables to increase its green power capacity to 530 MW and aims to source 70% of its electricity from renewables by FY28, aligning with its Net Zero emissions target by 2050.
In the past year, HZL recorded 6.7 lakh tonnes of GHG emission savings, increased renewable energy usage to nearly 19% of its power mix, and was ranked the world's most sustainable metals and mining company by the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment for the third consecutive year. Additionally, HZL became India's first member of the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) and launched EcoZen, Asia's first low-carbon 'green' zinc brand with a significantly lower carbon footprint than the global average.
