While mining brings employment, government revenues, and opportunities for economic growth and diversification, it also impacts the environment we live in. At Hindustan Zinc, we conduct our business in a responsible manner and in a way that has minimal environmental and social impact. Technology and innovation have been integrated in to the way we conduct our business strategy which ultimately enables us to sustain long-term stakeholder value.

Both our products and processes have sustainability at their core. Our products - Zinc, Lead and Silver - help us in protecting the environment and minimising any negative impact. Zinc prolongs the life of steel and iron structures by protecting them from corrosion and in the process saves raw materials, energy and water which would otherwise be required for replacing the corroded structures. Lead is mostly used for manufacturing of lead acid batteries; lead sheets are used in building industry for roofing and cladding. Silver is used in silverware and jewellery making, while its anti-microbial as well as non-toxic properties make it useful in medicine and several consumer products.

Our processes are designed to check and ensure that the environment remains undisturbed during all stages of operation; be it reducing the dust and suspended particles which cause air pollution, to setting up zero discharge plants that do not contaminate water sources, and transitioning from open pit to underground mining.
