Jindal Stainless, India’s largest stainless-steel producer, has reached a major sustainability milestone by scoring 78 in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) for FY25. This achievement places the company among the top 5% of steel manufacturers globally, ranking 4th in the global steel sector and 1st in the stainless-steel segment in the DJSI-modelled scores as of November FY25. The score marks a sharp improvement from 60 in FY24, reflecting the company’s accelerated push toward sustainable, transparent, and long-term value-driven growth.

Managing Director Abhyuday Jindal said the recognition validates the company’s commitment to responsible growth rooted in innovation, transparency, and community trust. He added that sustainability at Jindal Stainless is embedded in its values and daily operations, reinforcing the company’s Vision 2030 goals.

The CSA results showcase strong performance across all ESG pillars, with the company scoring 83 in Environmental, 73 in Social, and 76 in Governance & Economic—significantly higher than industry averages of 37, 35, and 36, respectively. A 97% data availability rate and a perfect 100 in Transparency & Reporting place Jindal Stainless among the most transparent steel companies globally.

Chief Sustainability Officer Kalyan Bhattacherjee highlighted that the score reflects comprehensive sustainability integration—from climate action and energy efficiency to waste management, biodiversity, occupational health, information security, and business ethics.

Further strengthening its ESG standing, Jindal Stainless is the only steel-sector company to receive the Golden Peacock Award for Sustainability in FY25. Its decarbonisation and sustainability initiatives led to a 14% reduction in GHG emissions during FY25, supported by projects like Odisha’s largest captive solar plant, energy-efficiency upgrades, supply-chain digitisation, and community development programs in education, healthcare, and skilling.
