STRATEGIC PRIORITIES AND UPDATE

POSITIONING VEDANTA FOR A SUSTAINABLE AND SCALABLE GROWTH

S1

Continued focus on world-class ESG performance

Operating sustainably and responsibly is key to our success. Focussed on this, we ensure embedding ESG into all aspects of business and have set vision of “Transforming for Good” which encompasses transforming communities, transforming the planet, and transforming the workplace. Through pioneering efforts in these areas, we aim to positively impact stakeholders, minimise environmental impact and progress towards zero harm, zero discharge and zero waste.

S2

Augment our Reserves & Resources (R&R) base

Expansion in R&R base, being key to our long-term growth ambitions, we continually engage in targeted and disciplined exploration programmes. Through deploying best technologies, making sustained investments and ensuring dedicated efforts by exploration teams to discover mineral and oil deposits safely and responsibly, we ensure the replenishment of our resources.

S3

Delivering on growth opportunities

Our large, well-diversified, low-cost and long-life asset portfolio offers attractive expansion opportunities. We continue to explore brownfield opportunities within our existing portfolio, striving to grow operations both organically and inorganically. We employ a prudent approach and rigorously evaluate these opportunities to ensure they meet our internal rate of return criteria and support our objective stakeholder value-creation.

S4

Optimise capital allocation and maintain a strong balance sheet

Balance sheet integrity is key to ensuring financial stability and long-term success in a dynamic environment. Through a focus on enhancing operational cashflows, stringent capital discipline of investing in high IRR projects and proactive liability management, we continue to strengthen our balance sheet. To maximise shareholder returns, we undertake evaluating all investments (organic and acquisitions) as per our stringent capital allocation framework.

S5

Operational excellence and cost leadership

Achieving all-round operational excellence is central to our objective of achieving benchmarked performance. Through efforts like debottlenecking assets to enhance production, investing in advanced digital and technology solutions and adopting best practices, we set new benchmarks in operational efficiency. We also focus on enhancing profitability through ongoing cost optimisation and improving realisations with prudent marketing strategies.
