Adani Cement has made a significant stride in sustainable business practices by becoming the first Indian cement company to adopt the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) recommendations, with formal disclosures set to commence from FY26. This initiative places Adani Cement at the forefront of the industry, reinforcing its commitment to biodiversity and environmental stewardship. As part of the Adani Group, which includes well-known brands like Ambuja Cements and ACC, the company joins a select group of seven global cement players embracing this framework, aimed at promoting nature-positive business transformations.
In a statement, Mr. Vinod Bahety, CEO of Adani Cement, emphasized that adopting the TNFD framework is a pivotal moment for the company, highlighting its commitment to nature-positive growth and climate leadership. He noted that this decision builds on recent advances in decarbonisation and innovative technologies, such as the world’s first deployment of Coolbrook’s RotoDynamic Heater™ technology. Adani Cement aims to enhance biodiversity, accelerate progress toward Net Zero, and leverage the Adani Group’s integrated ecosystem to deliver superior value while supporting India's sustainable development goals.
The TNFD initiative, founded by organizations including the UN Environment Programme Finance Initiative and the World Wildlife Fund, focuses on guiding companies to incorporate nature-related considerations into their strategic decision-making and corporate reporting. Adani Cement plans to implement TNFD-aligned recommendations to improve transparency and accountability regarding its environmental performance. The company has already achieved significant milestones, including planting over 7 million trees and achieving 12x water positivity. With a goal of 30% Alternative Fuel Resource use and 60% green power share by FY28, Adani Cement sets a new standard in the Indian cement industry, encouraging peers to prioritize biodiversity and climate resilience.
