Hindustan Zinc Limited has achieved a significant milestone with its Rampura Agucha Mine becoming India’s first Zinc Mark certified mine. This certification validates responsible zinc production against global ESG standards enhancing customer trust in the company’s supply chain. The mine is part of the world’s largest underground zinc-lead operation operated by Hindustan Zinc.
The Zinc Mark certification follows an independent third-party assessment under the Copper Mark Assurance Framework. It confirms compliance with international environmental social and governance benchmarks. This aligns with Hindustan Zinc’s strategy to integrate sustainability into its core operations from mining to smelting.
Arun Misra CEO of Hindustan Zinc stated the certification reflects the company’s commitment to transparent and responsible production. He emphasized that global customers increasingly prioritize traceable and ESG-compliant materials making this recognition critical for market positioning. The company supplies zinc to over 40 countries highlighting its global reach.
Hindustan Zinc is expanding Zinc Mark certification across its operations reinforcing its leadership in responsible production. The company has already certified its Chanderiya Smelting Complex making it the first Indian entity to offer end-to-end responsible zinc. This initiative supports industries transitioning to decarbonized manufacturing practices.
The company’s EcoZen brand produced using renewable energy and its Net Zero emissions target by 2050 further underscore its sustainability focus. Recognized as the world’s most sustainable metals company for three consecutive years by S&P Global Hindustan Zinc continues to drive industry transformation through ESG excellence.
With a 74% market share in India’s primary zinc market Hindustan Zinc remains a key player in critical sectors like steel galvanization and renewable energy. The Zinc Mark certification strengthens its ability to meet evolving customer demands for sustainable raw materials aligned with global procurement standards.
