NEW DELHI. REC Limited has secured a leadership position in the latest ESG Ratings of Companies released by NSE ESG Ratings, earning an impressive ESG score of 80. This top ranking reflects REC’s sustained efforts over the past three years to integrate Environmental, Social and Governance principles into all aspects of its operations. Guided by the REC Board of Directors, the company implemented its first ESG Policy three years ago and has since taken significant steps including strategic ESG planning, benchmarking against global standards, active engagement with international platforms such as the Climate Disclosure Project and MSCI, and the development of a net-zero pathway.
REC’s leadership in ESG has been further strengthened through operational initiatives such as achieving 100 percent green power usage at its corporate office, moving towards a zero-discharge building, transitioning its major office fleet to electric vehicles and enhancing HR, ethics, safety and cybersecurity practices. The company has also improved its disclosure standards through its Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report and its GRI-referenced ESG Report for FY 2024-25. CMD Jitendra Srivastava said that this achievement reflects REC’s strategic direction and commitment to advancing the Government of India’s Panchamrit goals, demonstrating that responsible and sustainable business practices are central to the company’s long-term success.
