ESG Governance

Pillar 3: Transforming the workplace

Aim 9: Adhering to global business standards of corporate governance

At Vedanta we know that strong corporate governance practices are at the center of strong ESG performance. Board committees, training of executives, ethical conduct, and long-term risk management are the key themes that we remain focused upon.

We believe that transparency, business conduct and upholding the highest ethical standards are our abilities that directly translate into lasting trust among our stakeholders. Our governance philosophy stems from our core values of trust, respect and integrity. We have put in place a robust governance structure, sound policies and monitoring mechanisms to ensure that we grow responsibly and keep this trust intact.
