Ahmedabad, Nov. 11 -- Kutch Copper Ltd (KCL), a subsidiary of Adani Enterprises Ltd, has become the first Indian copper producer to receive the prestigious Veramark Assurance certification, formerly known as Copper Mark, recognising its commitment to responsible and sustainable production.
The company, which operates one of the world's largest single-location copper smelters, secured the certification after completing independent third-party assessments under the Copper Mark Responsible Production Framework and Joint Due Diligence Standard.
The global assurance framework promotes responsible practices across copper, nickel and zinc value chains, with facilities assessed on environmental, social and governance (ESG) parameters.
Vinay Prakash, CEO of Adani Natural Resources and Managing Director of KCL, said the recognition reflected the company's commitment to sustainable production and internationally accepted standards.
He said the milestone would strengthen Kutch Copper's position among leading global producers as copper demand rises with the expansion of renewable energy, electric mobility, power transmission and digital infrastructure.
