Giving momentum to the company's objective of investing in green stainless steel production, Jindal Stainless (Hisar) Ltd has announced that it has partnered with Hygenco India Private Limited to install a Green Hydrogen Plant.

Going forward, we will continue our ESG efforts to achieve net zero emissions and power conservation."

This development is in line with the Company's aim to achieve excellence in its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Standards. The ESG standards will help Jindal Stainless ensure ethical and sustainable operations within the organization, undertake a holistic assessment of the company's performance, and identify potential risks.

The company has appointed a third party to develop a roadmap to accomplish its ESG and decarbonization goals. Jindal Stainless is continuously looking for new opportunities for setting up renewable energy power plants and reducing the carbon footprint in its manufacturing.
