Aditya Birla Capital’s (ABC) Sustainability Vision

Chairman’s 2022 Sustainability Vision

“ Having covered formidable ground and given the evolving business landscape, we have now embarked on the ABG Sustain-ability Journey 2.0 led by our Business Heads and ably supported by their Chief Sustainability and Safety Officers along with the Group Sustainability team. This is to focus on the mega-trends of the current decade and accelerate the mainstreaming of ESG in executive and operational decision-making. The 2020s is, without a doubt, 'the decade of action'. 

Increasingly, our businesses are building ESG metrics in their strategies and operations. Across businesses, our sustainability strategies now consider the 4 dimensions (4Ds) of sectoral uniqueness, geographies of operation, stakeholder expectations across the value chain, and time horizon. 

This implies that the ESG priorities and imperatives may vary from business to business and market to market. And yet, our actions, every day and everywhere, must recognize the guardrails and principles that underpin our Group's ethos. Let me try and articulate a few such principles.”

CEO's Commitment to Sustainability

The Aditya Birla Group already has an intense focus on ESG, with our Chairman, Mr. Kumar Mangalam Birla, proactively weaving sustainable business practices across all the Group’s operations. We have adopted global best practices that help us impact the lives of our stakeholders in the most sustainable way. We are building a responsible and inclusive business portfolio by financing green projects, ensuring the well-being of our employees and contributing to society, while addressing global issues such as climate change, weighing each business decision through the ESG perspective.

Chief Sustainability Officer’s Statement

I am eagerly looking forward to our ongoing Sustain-ability 2.0 Journey. Going forward, as a Group, we will continue to deliver on our committed ESG targets; explore and leverage advanced technology whether it is developed by large existing tech players or start-ups; take stewardship positions in the kind of products we make through circularity; extend the circle of ESG by bringing in suppliers, customers and consumers, and most importantly, collaborate with all stakeholders for shared prosperity and growth.
