REC Limited has achieved an outstanding environmental, social and governance (ESG) score of 80 in the latest ESG ratings of companies by NSE ESG Ratings. The top-ranking is a reflection of the company’s comprehensive and sustained commitment to embedding ESG principles into its core operations over the past three years. Key actions behind this achievement included a structured ESG roadmap with strong oversight, benchmarking against global best practices and engagement with international forums. REC advanced its net-zero pathway through a detailed action plan, achieved operational ESG milestones such as 100 per cent green power and a GRIHA 5-rated zero-discharge corporate office, strengthened EV adoption and HR policies, enhanced Business Responsibility and Sustainability Report and ESG disclosures, and benefited from sustained senior leadership commitment to embedding ESG across the organisation.
