Adani Cement, which includes Ambuja Cements and its subsidiaries, has become the first Indian cement company to adopt the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) recommendations, marking a major step in nature-positive and sustainable manufacturing practices. The company announced that TNFD-aligned disclosures will formally begin from FY26, strengthening its commitment to biodiversity protection, environmental stewardship, and global sustainability benchmarks.
According to the media release, Adani Cement has joined a select group of seven global cement players to adopt the TNFD framework. The company said the adoption builds on its existing nature-risk assessments and global-standard environmental disclosure practices. The initiative is part of its broader ESG strategy and supports India’s climate and nature-related goals.
Vinod Bahety, CEO – Cement Business, Adani Group, said the TNFD adoption marks a “pivotal moment” in the company’s journey toward nature-positive growth. He highlighted recent decarbonisation steps such as the deployment of Coolbrook’s RotoDynamic Heater technology and the firm’s continued focus on renewable energy, digitalisation, and biodiversity conservation.
The TNFD, founded by global organisations including UNEP-FI, UNDP, WWF, and Global Canopy, provides guidance for companies to integrate nature-related considerations into decision-making and reporting. Adani Cement noted that it has already undertaken extensive ESG initiatives such as afforestation with over seven million trees, achieving 12x water positivity, and biodiversity programs across sites.
The company also stated that Ambuja Cements and ACC offer a portfolio where over 85% comprises low-carbon, blended green cement. Adani Cement aims to reach 30% alternative fuel and raw material use and 60% green power share by FY28.
The release added that Adani Cement is among the few global cement manufacturers with SBTi-validated net-zero targets and is the first cement producer to join the Alliance for Industry Decarbonisation under IRENA.
