Hindustan Zinc's Rampura Agucha Mine Becomes India's First Zinc Mark Certified Mine
Hindustan Zinc's Rampura Agucha Mine is now India's first Zinc Mark certified mine. This globally recognised certification validates responsible zinc production against ESG standards. The company, a Vedanta Group entity, aims for Net Zero emissions by 2050 and was named the world's most sustainable metals and mining company by S&P Global.
The Zinc Mark certification enhances the company's reputation and marketability, particularly in ESG-focused markets. While it strengthens customer trust and value proposition, the direct financial impact is not immediately quantifiable but contributes to long-term business sustainability.
The announcement highlights a significant achievement for Hindustan Zinc, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability and responsible production, which is viewed positively by investors and customers.
Hindustan Zinc Limited (HZL) announced that its Rampura Agucha Mine has become India's first Zinc Mark certified mine. This certification is a globally recognised assurance framework validating responsible zinc production against internationally benchmarked Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards, responsible sourcing practices, and value chain transparency.
The certification was awarded following an independent third-party assessment under the Copper Mark Assurance Framework, verifying the mine's conformance with internationally recognised responsible production standards across key environmental, social, and governance parameters. This achievement follows the company’s recent Zinc Mark certification for its Chanderiya Smelting Complex, making HZL the first company in India to offer responsibly sourced zinc across the entire production chain.
Arun Misra, CEO, Hindustan Zinc, stated that the certification reflects the company’s integrated approach towards responsible production and ESG excellence. He highlighted that as global supply chains evolve, customers are increasingly seeking responsibly sourced metals that align with their sustainability priorities and compliance frameworks. This recognition strengthens customer confidence in HZL as a trusted partner delivering high-quality zinc backed by transparency, responsible production, and globally benchmarked ESG standards.
Hindustan Zinc, a Vedanta Group company, aims to progressively advance Zinc Mark certification across its operations. The company is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050 or sooner and is focused on decarbonisation, circular economy practices, biodiversity conservation, and water positivity. HZL was also recognised as the world’s most sustainable metals and mining company by the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment 2025 for three consecutive years.
