While we don’t seek recognition, we are proud of having strengthened our position in ESG ratings, standing out among the top four in the global ranking. In 2023, we have significantly improved our performance in Sustainalytics, S&P, and demonstrated our leadership in MSCI ESG and CDP Climate Change. Ultimately, our true motivation lies in doing the right thing.
JSL aligns its ESG and sustainability disclosures with recognized national and global reporting frameworks, including Integrated Reporting (IIRC standard), GRI Standards, BRSR, TCFD, TNFD, CDP and other applicable ESG disclosure requirements. These frameworks help the company communicate its performance on climate action, environmental stewardship, social responsibility, governance, risk management and value creation in a structured and transparent manner. JSL’s disclosures are made available through its Integrated Report, BRSR, ESG Factsheet sustainability-related reports and other public ESG communications – https://www.jindalstainless.com/esg-reports-demo/
Yes. JSL engages with its suppliers and value chain partners on ESG-related parameters to strengthen responsible sourcing and sustainability performance across the supply chain. This includes focus areas such as environmental practices, health and safety, labour practices, human rights, business ethics, regulatory compliance, and emissions-related data requirements. Through such engagement, JSL aims to build a more responsible, transparent, and resilient value chain aligned with stakeholder expectations.
JSL’s sustainability initiatives contribute to relevant UN Sustainable Development Goals through actions on climate, responsible production, resource efficiency, water stewardship, occupational health and safety, community development and ethical business practices. The alignment is reflected through initiatives and disclosures across its ESG reporting.
JSL participates in leading ESG ratings and assessments such as DJSI, EcoVadis, Sustainalytics, MSCI, and CDP, which provide customers with an additional view of the company’s environmental performance, governance practices, social responsiblity, risk management approach, and responsible sourcing maturity. These assessments can support customers in supplier evaluation, due diligence, sustainable procurement decision-making, and understanding JSL’s progress across key ESG parameters.
JSL’s operations are supported by internationally recognized management systems and certifications, including ISO 14001 for Environmental Management, ISO 45001 for Occupational Health & Safety, ISO 50001 for Energy Management, and ISO 27001:2022 for Information Security, as disclosed in its Integrated Report. These certifications help customers assess JSL’s operational reliability, environmental controls, energy management practices, safety systems and governance maturity – https://www.jindalstainless.com/products/quality-technology/
JSL calculates and discloses greenhouse gas emissions across relevant categories such as Scope 1 direct emissions, Scope 2 energy-related indirect emissions across 10 Scope 3 categories- indirect value chain emissions. This helps customers understand the company’s climate performance and supports their own supply chain emissions assessment.
JSL undertakes environmental initiatives across energy efficiency, renewable energy adoption, waste heat recovery, water recycling, waste management, process optimization and resource efficiency. These initiatives support lower emissions intensity, improved operational efficiency and reduced environmental impact across manufacturing operations.
JSL has strengthened its CBAM compliance readiness through robust carbon data systems, emissions monitoring, product-level footprint assessment, and regulatory preparedness. The company is equipped to support customers with carbon footprint-related information and CBAM-related requirements, wherever applicable. Customers seeking further details on carbon footprint reporting or CBAM-related information may connect with you.
Stainless steel can help reduce lifecycle environmental impact in several applications due to its durability, corrosion resistance, long service life and recyclability. These attributes may reduce replacement frequency, maintenance requirements and material use over the product lifecycle.
Yes. JSL has undertaken cradle-to-gate Product Carbon Footprint assessments for several stainless steel grades across its manufacturing facilities. Environmental Product Declarations are also developed for key product categories to enhance transparency and comparability. These initiatives support customers with credible product sustainability information for ESG, procurement and Scope 3 reporting requirements – https://www.jindalstainless.com/esg-reports-demo/
JSL supports customers by providing relevant ESG and sustainability information, including disclosures on emissions, environmental initiatives, certifications, responsible sourcing practices, recycled content and sustainability performance. The company continues to strengthen product-level sustainability data, supplier ESG engagement and compliance readiness to support customer procurement and reporting requirements.
Yes. Stainless steel is suitable for long-term use in many environmental conditions due to its strength, corrosion resistance, durability and low maintenance requirements. Its long service life and recyclability support resource efficiency and lower lifecycle impact.
JSL’s stainless steel supports low-carbon and circular economy projects through attributes such as recyclability, recycled input material use, durability and long product life. JSL’s ongoing work on emissions reduction and product sustainability assessments further supports customers seeking more responsible material choices.
Stainless steel is highly recyclable and can be reused or recycled without significant loss of material properties. Its durability and recyclability make it well suited for circular economy applications where long life, recovery and reuse of materials are important.
JSL’s circularity approach is built around reduce, reuse, recycle, recover and repurpose. The company uses recycled stainless steel scrap as a major input, with major part of raw material input comprising high-quality recycled scrap, and further strengthens circularity through recovery of metals from slag, grinding dust, mill scale, quench scale and EAF residues. Other waste streams such as fly ash, bottom ash, mill scale, bag filter dust, interleaving paper, plastic waste and neutralised cake are reused, recycled or repurposed to reduce landfill dependency.
JSL has also achieved Zero Waste to Landfill certification with a Platinum + rating for its Hisar unit, reinforcing its commitment to circular operations and supporting customers’ circular procurement expectations.
Yes. JSL has initiated biodiversity-related assessments and management plans across its operational sites and has stated its commitment towards achieving No Net Loss in biodiversity.
JSL manages process residues and by-products through segregation, reuse, recycling, recovery and responsible disposal routes. The company works to maximise resource recovery and minimise waste sent to landfill in line with applicable environmental regulations and circularity objectives. As part of this approach, JSL’s Hisar unit has achieved Zero Waste to Landfill certification with a Platinum+ rating, reinforcing its commitment to responsible waste management and circular operations.
Yes. JSL tracks water-related performance indicators such as water withdrawal, reuse, recycling and intensity as part of its environmental management and reporting processes. These indicators help monitor efficiency and support water stewardship across manufacturing facilities. For detailed performance data, refer to the link – https://www.jindalstainless.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/JSL-ESG-Factsheet-FY-2024-25.pdf.
JSL undertakes multiple initiatives to reduce freshwater consumption, including reuse of treated effluents, Zero Liquid Discharge infrastructure, advanced wastewater treatment systems, rainwater harvesting, and regular water risk assessments. These initiatives support lower water intensity and more responsible use of shared water resources. Further, JSL has set a target to achieve water neutrality by 2033, reinforcing its long-term commitment to water stewardship.
