Hindustan Zinc’s Rampura Agucha Mine has achieved a major milestone by becoming India’s first Zinc Mark certified mine. This globally recognized framework validates the company’s commitment to responsible zinc production, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards, and transparency across the value chain. This achievement reinforces the company’s position as a sustainable leader in the metals and mining industry, catering to critical sectors like infrastructure, renewable energy, and electronics.
Advancing Responsible Mining
On May 25, 2026, Hindustan Zinc Limited announced that its Rampura Agucha Mine—the world’s largest underground zinc-lead mine—has secured the Zinc Mark certification. This certification serves as a testament to the company’s adherence to stringent international standards for responsible sourcing and production. This recognition follows the successful certification of the company’s Chanderiya Smelting Complex, marking a significant step toward achieving end-to-end responsible zinc production.
Strategic ESG Integration
The Zinc Mark certification is awarded based on an independent third-party assessment under the Copper Mark Assurance Framework. It verifies the company’s performance across critical environmental, social, and governance parameters. By achieving this, Hindustan Zinc enhances its value proposition for global customers who are increasingly prioritizing traceability and low-carbon emission materials in their procurement strategies.
Future-Ready Supply Chain
As an industry leader in sustainability, Hindustan Zinc is leveraging this certification to meet the rising demand for sustainably sourced materials in sectors such as automobiles, infrastructure, and renewable energy. The company, which has been recognized as the world’s most sustainable metals and mining company by the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment 2025 for three consecutive years, remains committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050. This milestone further cements its role as a partner of choice for industries transitioning toward greener manufacturing practices.
