Hindustan Zinc Becomes the First Indian Company to Join the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM)
Share Share Share Share

UDAIPUR (India CSR) Hindustan Zinc Limited, India’s only and the world’s largest integrated zinc producer, has become the first Indian company to join the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) – a pivotal milestone that places India firmly on the global map of responsible mining.

ICMM is a leadership body of 25 of the world’s leading mining and metals companies committed to advancing sustainable development, transparency, and ethical practices across the mining value chain. Hindustan Zinc’s membership comes following a rigorous independent assessment and endorsement by ICMM’s Council, comprising the CEOs of member companies, based on recommendations from the Independent Expert Review Panel (IERP). This marks the council’s first new member since 2021 and reaffirms ICMM’s deepening engagement in South Asia.

Priya Agarwal Hebbar, Chairperson, Hindustan Zinc Limited, said: “Hindustan Zinc’s induction into the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) marks a proud milestone – not just for our company, but for India. HZL is the first company from India to join this council. It reaffirms our commitment to sustainability, innovation, and responsible resource development, while creating new opportunities to collaborate with some of the world’s most respected leaders in mining. This is our moment to lead from the front, power the global energy transition and set new benchmarks for the industry.”

With this milestone, Hindustan Zinc joins an elite group of global leaders championing the future of responsible and sustainable mining, thereby committing to ICMM’s 40 performance expectations that span Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices. These include third-party validation and apply across all company assets.

“It is both an honour and a big responsibility for Hindustan Zinc to become the first Indian company to join ICMM,” said Arun Misra, CEO & Whole-time Director, Hindustan Zinc.” This milestone marks a new chapter in our Sustainability 2.0 journey, grounded in transparency, innovation and global best practices. For us, sustainability and good business go hand in hand, and it is a strategic imperative to create lasting positive impact on our environment, our communities, and the industry at large. As we integrate ICMM’s principles across every facet of our operations, we look forward to sharing our insights and gaining perspectives from global peers, contributing to a safer, more responsible future for mining worldwide and the planet” he added.

“We are delighted to welcome Hindustan Zinc Limited as ICMM’s first Indian member. Hindustan Zinc Limited’s membership will not only strengthen our collective efforts but also reinforce its own leadership within India’s mining industry. This is a significant milestone for ICMM – our first new member since Boliden joined in 2021 and a key step in deepening our engagement in the region. The growing interest from companies in joining ICMM reflects the positive momentum we’re seeing in our mission to influence the broader mining industry,” said Rohitesh Dhawan, President and CEO, ICMM.

Headquartered in Udaipur, Hindustan Zinc’s operations include silver-lead-zinc underground mines, smelters (metal production plant) and allied infrastructure across northwest India. As a publicly listed entity, the company maintains independent governance, sustainability reporting and disclosure practices. The IERP recognized Hindustan Zinc’s leadership in tailings management, decarbonisation, circular economy, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).

Hindustan Zinc is widely recognized as a sustainability front-runner in the metals and mining sector. In 2024, it was ranked the world’s most sustainable company in the sector by the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment for the second consecutive year. Further deepening its impact, the company has adopted ambitious 2030 Sustainable Goals that target climate action, biodiversity, water stewardship, circularity and inclusive growth. The company continues to make strides to become net zero by 2050 or sooner. Notably, Hindustan Zinc was the first Indian metals & mining company to secure Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) validated targets aligned to the 1.5°C global warming threshold. The company has reduced GHG emissions intensity by 15% in FY25 vs 2020 baseline while increasing production. Early last year, the company received the first flow of renewable power used to produce Asia’s first low-carbon zinc, EcoZen. Hindustan Zinc boasts of an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) verified portfolio, ensuring product-level transparency

As the world transitions towards clean energy, Hindustan Zinc is uniquely positioned to lead with purpose, balancing growth with environmental stewardship and social progress. Its ICMM membership cements its role as a global benchmark for responsible mining and amplifies India’s voice in shaping the future of ethical resource development.
