New Delhi, Apr 23 (PTI) Vedanta Ltd on Wednesday said it has mitigated 28 million tonnes of carbon emissions since FY23, roughly equivalent to the carbon dioxide absorbed by more than one billion trees annually.
Backed by the country's largest portfolio of energy transition metals, the company utilised 2.61 billion units of renewable energy including waste heat recovery in FY25, Vedanta Ltd said in a statement.
Vedanta has a growing portfolio of low-carbon 'green' products in aluminium (Restora and Restora Ultra), zinc (EcoZen), and display glass (Super Green SaiSei), with some of the lowest carbon footprints in the world.
The company said it has ramped up renewable energy usage by 14 times since FY'20 and is targeting to achieve 2.5 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030.
"At Vedanta, we don't see sustainability as a checkbox, but as a responsibility that shapes every decision we make. From producing the world's greenest metals, scaling up renewables, to empowering our people to be climate champions through the Vedanta Academy for Sustainability, each step reflects our long-term commitment to the planet.
"I'm proud that these actions are part of the larger transformation we're driving through Vedanta 2.0, as we lead the way towards a greener, more resilient tomorrow," Priya Agarwal Hebbar, Non-Executive Director - Vedanta Ltd and Chairperson - Hindustan Zinc Ltd said.
