Sustainability Report Edition: 11th Sustainability Report, for the financial year 2025-26
ICMM Action Plan Scope: 40 performance expectations
Sustainability Goals: Sustainability Goals 2030

Hindustan Zinc has enclosed its Sustainability Report for the financial year 2025-26 and made it available on the company website.
This is the 11th edition of the report. It carries the company's disclosures on sustainability commitments, strategy, governance and the progress made during the year.

The report is presented around "Hindustan Zinc 2.0", described as a step-change in responsible growth. In the company's words, it is doubling its refined metal capacity and diversifying into a multi-metal future, and is scaling its sustainability commitments alongside those shifts.
Sustainability Goals 2030 are stated as aligned with the scale and aspirations of Hindustan Zinc 2.0.
On standards, it cites ICMM membership and the launch of an ICMM Action Plan to meet its 40 performance expectations.

Rising demand for critical minerals and mining in a minimally invasive way, with smaller footprints and less disruption to the natural world.
Emissions across the value chain, from mine to smelter to customer; water returned, waste recovered and energy transitioned.
Governance as a competitive advantage, with globally benchmarked standards and independent assurance.
Growing with communities and deeper social impact.

Sustainability strategy, including a double materiality assessment.
Responsible business practices: business ethics and corporate governance, and product stewardship.
People topics such as diversity, equal opportunity and inclusion, talent attraction and retention, learning and development, and health, safety and wellbeing.
Social value: social performance and management, indigenous peoples and cultural heritage, community engagement and development, and a sustainable and inclusive supply chain.
Natural capital: environmental management, air emissions and quality, tailings management, water resources management, circularity and waste management, climate change and energy transition, biodiversity and ecosystems, and responsible site closure.
Key performance indicators across economic, labour practice, environment, and health and safety indicators.
Framework mapping: GRI Content Index 2025-26, additional disclosures under GRI 14, SASB, UNGC Principles, FIMI Principles, ICMM Principles, ICMM SERF, ICMM PE Self-Assessment Results, and an Independent Assurance Statement.

The company states the report should be read in conjunction with its FY 2025-26 reporting suite — the Integrated Report, Climate Action Report, Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) Report and Tax Transparency Report — for a holistic view of its key non-financial aspects, best practices and broader impacts.
For a reader tracking this company, the update is a non-financial disclosure document: it sets out environmental, social and governance practices and the framing of the company's stated growth plan.

For investors who watch ESG and sustainable-mining standards, the report places the company's own sustainability positioning — including its ICMM-linked commitments — on record for the year.
