Hindustan Zinc

Hindustan Zinc's most recent disclosed emissions for 2026 include Scope 1 emissions of approximately 4.78 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of about 241.7 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 1.47 billion kg CO2e. In 2025, the company reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 4.54 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of around 385.8 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of about 1.54 billion kg CO2e. For 2024, Hindustan Zinc's Scope 1 and 2 emissions combined were approximately 5.02 billion kg CO2e.

Hindustan Zinc has established several climate commitments. The company aims for net-zero emissions across its value chain by 2050, with interim targets. These include a 50% absolute reduction in Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by FY2030 from a FY2020 base year, and a 25% absolute reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions within the same timeframe, as verified by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Additionally, an earlier SBTi commitment from 2021 aimed to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 14% and absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 20% by 2026, both from a 2016 base year. Hindustan Zinc is a subsidiary of Vedanta, which is currently excluded from joining the SBTi due to its temporary policy regarding fossil fuel companies; however, Hindustan Zinc Limited's science-based targets have been approved under category 2.4 of this policy.
