Hindustan Zinc's Rampura Agucha Mine Achieves India's First Zinc Mark Certification​

Hindustan Zinc Limited, the world's largest integrated zinc producer, has achieved a significant milestone in responsible mining, announcing that its Rampura Agucha Mine has become India's first Zinc Mark certified mine. This certification validates the site's responsible production adherence against globally recognized Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards.

The recognition solidifies the company’s commitment to integrating sustainability and operational excellence into its core business strategy. Zinc Mark is a globally recognized assurance framework that validates responsible zinc production against international benchmarks, covering responsible sourcing practices and value chain transparency.

The certification is particularly important for India's mining sector, strengthening Hindustan Zinc's comprehensive approach to responsible production across its value chain. This achievement follows the company receiving Zinc Mark certification for its Chanderiya Smelting Complex, making it the first company in India to offer responsibly sourced zinc across the entire production chain.

The Zinc Mark certification was awarded following an independent third-party assessment conducted under the Copper Mark Assurance Framework. This process verified Rampura Agucha's conformance with internationally recognized responsible production standards across key environmental, social, and governance parameters.

As global industries increasingly prioritize sustainable procurement, the certification enhances Hindustan Zinc's value proposition for customers seeking raw materials that are traceable, transparent, and fully ESG-compliant. Global customers are placing growing emphasis not only on product quality but also on how metals are sourced and governed across the entire supply chain.

Speaking about the milestone, Arun Misra, CEO, Hindustan Zinc, noted that the achievement reflects the company's integrated approach toward responsible production and ESG excellence. He stated that this recognition strengthens customer confidence by assuring delivery of high-quality zinc backed by transparency, responsible production, and globally benchmarked ESG standards.

Hindustan Zinc, a Vedanta Group company, caters to critical sectors including steel galvanization, infrastructure, automobiles, renewable energy, electronics, and advanced manufacturing. The certification further boosts the company's capacity to support customers who require sustainable raw materials aligned with evolving ESG commitments and global procurement standards.

The company continues to progressively advance the Zinc Mark certification across its various operations, underscoring its long-term dedication to globally benchmarked responsible production standards. Hindustan Zinc remains committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050 or sooner.
