Commenting on the appointment, Managing Director, Jindal Stainless, Abhyuday Jindal, said, “The creation of CSO position at Jindal Stainless is a step towards setting the road for sustainable excellence in business and beyond. As a responsible Corporate that is committed to transitioning to sustainable manufacturing, we have consciously undertaken steps to reduce our carbon footprint.

From investing in Renewable Energy, Green Hydrogen production to introducing EVs at our manufacturing plants, we are continuously building an ecosystem that supports our Environmental, Social, and Governance goals.”

Talking about his new role, Chief Sustainability Officer, Jindal Stainless, Mr Kalyan Kumar Bhattacherjee said, “Sustainability has been at the forefront of Jindal Stainless’ operations and expansion plans since the beginning. We are India’s first stainless steel Company to install a Green Hydrogen Plant to manufacture stainless steel. We are continuously investing in low Carbon technologies, recycling process, digitalization and process upgradation for energy efficiency projects. I am thankful to the Company for entrusting me with this responsibility as we move to a sustainable future.”
