Mainstreaming sustainability in business imperatives

JSW Group's Sustainability Vision

It is our Vision here at JSW that we are able, both now and in the future, to demonstrably contribute in a socially, ethically and environmentally-responsible way to the development of a society where the needs of all are met, and to do so in a manner that does not compromise the ability of those that come after us to meet the needs of their own, future generations.

quotes
Sustainability is an imperative in every aspect of our business, and we aspire to be the best-in-class across multiple parameters. Energy management, carbon capture, reducing emissions, and using Hydrogen as a reductant are key areas of focus for us, that will help us reach top quartile emission levels, globally. Our empowering CSR projects, strong focus on waste-reduction and recycling and an enabling culture for our workforce will all lead to improving our performance steadily. Together, all initiatives form part of our comprehensive ESG strategy, with a focus on 17 key areas, and a disciplined, target-driven approach to improve sustainability performance will create the enterprise of the future.
