As we support India’s journey towards self-sufficiency and advance our sustainability priorities, we continue to strengthen the way we manage natural resources responsibly. Our governance framework provides the structure, discipline and accountability required to guide this responsibility. Clear roles and responsibilities across every constituent of the governance system enable consistent decision-making and sustained value creation. Integrity, ethical conduct and responsible business practices remain central to the way we operate, grow and engage with our stakeholders.
Our governance framework is anchored in our core values of Trust, Entrepreneurship, Innovation, Excellence, Integrity, Respect and Care. These values guide our vision, strategic mission and commitment to sustainable growth. The framework enables us to align business performance with accountability, stakeholder expectations and long-term value creation across our diversified natural resources portfolio.
Good governance defines our long-term value creation philosophy. We see purpose-led governance and ethics-driven conduct as essential to our ambition of building India’s largest diversified natural resources conglomerate and positioning ourselves among the most sustainable organisations globally.
Our governance ethos reflects a dual operating approach. Each entity within the Group has its own management systems and operational responsibilities, while the Group functions cohesively through a shared purpose and common governance standards. This approach helps us combine entrepreneurial agility with institutional discipline.
We view responsible operations as our fiduciary duty as trustees of multiple capitals: financial, manufactured, intellectual, human, social and relationship, and natural. This stewardship guides the way we manage resources, execute our integrated value chain and deliver consistent value for stakeholders.
An engaged and informed Board leads this governance philosophy. The Board brings diverse expertise, guides strategic direction, identifies opportunities and oversees risk management to safeguard and enhance business value. In a dynamic operating environment, this forward-looking approach strengthens resilience, deepens stakeholder trust and supports sustainable growth.
Rooted in our values, we continue to build a Group that leads through scale, diversification, governance, responsibility and sustainability. Our purpose remains clear: to deliver long-term value for all stakeholders while contributing to an inclusive and sustainable future.

Our ESG governance structure brings consistency, accountability and ownership across the organisation.

We have established dedicated forums for regular management review and oversight at every level. ESG-themed communities at each BU and SBU further strengthen ownership by driving projects, tracking progress and supporting timely implementation. This structure enables ESG priorities to move from intent to action across our businesses.

This focus reflects our commitment to responsible growth, transparent reporting and stronger alignment with stakeholder expectations.
