Adani Cement first Indian cement company to adopt TNFD recommendations

Adani Cement, encompassing Ambuja Cements Limited and its subsidiaries, has announced its adoption of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) recommendations, making it the first Indian cement company to do so. This positions Adani Cement among a select group of global industry leaders championing nature-positive business transformation. Formal TNFD-aligned disclosures are scheduled to commence from FY26, reinforcing the company's commitment to biodiversity and environmental stewardship.

The adoption builds upon Adani Cement's existing nature risk assessment and disclosure practices, which align with globally recognized frameworks. The company has already implemented robust environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards, including large-scale afforestation of over 7 million trees, achieving 12x water positivity, and biodiversity conservation across its sites. Ambuja Cements and ACC offer a wide range of GRIHA-listed low-carbon cement and concrete solutions, with over 85% of their portfolio comprising blended green cement.

Adani Cement aims for 30% alternate fuel and raw material (AFR) use and 60% green power share by FY28, directly advancing TNFD principles of responsible resource management and biodiversity protection. The company is among the four large-scale cement companies globally with science-based targets initiative (SBTi)-validated net-zero targets and is the world's first cement manufacturer to join the Alliance for Industry Decarbonisation (AFID) under IRENA.
