At Hindustan Zinc, profit maximisation, environmental performance and social empowerment are not seen as disparate objectives, but a part of an overall solution – to create long-term sustainable stakeholder value. Society and environment are central to our growth as they provide resources needed to produce goods and services. Efficiently maintaining them is the key factor in sustaining growth.

Technology and innovation enable us to ensure that our products improve the quality of life without compromising the ecosystem or future generations. Our commitment includes zero-harm to the environment, optimal use of natural resources, improving efficiencies, and recoveries of by-products. Concurrently, we are enhancing the entire value chain right from beneficiation to smelting to green power to waste management for higher value creation through higher metal recovery, minimal environment impact, gainful waste utilisation and lower cost. Hindustan Zinc has taken concrete steps to protect the environment in parallel with improving operational efficiencies.

This has been possible through some concrete environmental initiatives such as reducing water footprint, cutting GHG emissions through energy and climate change management, increasing use of green energy in the total energy mix, maintaining air quality, preventing environmental pollution by reducing waste, and conserving or rejuvenating the biodiversity near our operations.
