We aim to lead the industry in low‑carbon steel production by adopting cleaner energy, circular economy principles, and process efficiency improvements. Our targets reflect our long‑term commitment to carbon reduction and neutrality.
We have already achieved a 29% reduction in CO₂ emissions per tonne of crude steel from baseline 2005. For more details about our Decarbonisation Strategy, please refer to our Climate Action Report 2024.
Sustainability is at the heart of our business strategy. Guided by strong leadership and a robust governance framework, our climate governance is anchored at the Board level through the Business Responsibility & Sustainability Reporting Committee and the Risk Management Committee, which jointly oversee climate strategy and risk management. Oversight is strengthened by the Executive Committee, ensuring sustainability KPIs and performance are reviewed regularly. Implementation is driven by the Climate Action Group (CAG), a cross-functional team that integrates climate considerations into operations, R&D, supply chain, and strategy. This structured approach ensures accountability, proactive risk management, and alignment with our long-term sustainability goals.
Our actions are guided by the company’s policies and reflect JSW Steel’s commitment to sustainability. Read more about our Climate Change Policy.
We recognise that climate change poses both physical and transition risks to our operations, supply chain, and long-term business viability. Our strategy is built on proactive risk identification, scenario analysis (IPCC RCPs and IEA WEO), and mitigation planning.
We have assessed climate-related risks and opportunities using internationally recognized scenarios, including IPCC RCPs and IEA WEO pathways. These assessments inform our strategic decisions and investment planning.
To ensure resilience and alignment with national and global climate goals, we integrate climate risk considerations into our governance, operations, and financial planning.

We have embedded carbon costs into our investment decisions to future-proof operations and accelerate low-carbon growth. This pricing mechanism acts as a reference cost for our central CAPEX committee when evaluating Annual Business Plans (ABPs) and new capital projects. By integrating carbon costs into financial decisions, we aim to:.
JSW Steel applies Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to measure the environmental impact of its products, including their Global Warming Potential (GWP). We have developed high-strength steel with a lower or equivalent lifecycle footprint, enabling:
JSW Neosteel TMT bars and 14 roofing sheet categories are GreenPro certified, reflecting our commitment to sustainable manufacturing. We’re proud to be the first to earn the GreenPro ecolabel for automotive steel, having co-developed its standards.
We have also secured Type III Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for all 14 finished products from our ISPs and for all products from our downstream facilities, reinforcing our leadership in sustainable innovation.
JSW GreenEdge is our certified low-carbon steel solution, designed to help customers reduce their carbon footprint with flexibility and confidence. Through real CO₂ reduction projects within JSW’s value chain, these savings are independently verified and securely tracked in a monitored virtual CO₂ bank. We provide flexible reduction certificates, including for Scope 3 emissions, enabling customers to offset their impact with confidence.
GreenEdge is fully aligned with international standards such as the worldsteel Chain of Custody Guidelines (2024), GHG Protocol, and ISO 22095:2020, and leverages the Book and Claim methodology to ensure complete transparency and traceability without requiring physical segregation of materials. As part of our broader commitment to climate action, GreenEdge empowers industries to transition toward net-zero while maintaining operational efficiency and product integrity.

We actively engage and collaborate with policymakers and trade associations such as ASSOCHAM, WBCSD, World Steel Association, Indian Steel Association, CII, and FICCI to advance climate-focused policies aligned with the Paris Agreement and our sustainability goals. Oversight of these activities is provided by our Board and Sustainability Committee and governed by internal policies such as the Policy on Influencing Public and Regulatory Policy and Climate Change Policy. We advocate for climate-related initiatives that support greenhouse gas reduction, energy transition, carbon pricing, and sustainable resource management, ensuring all engagements remain consistent with the Paris Agreement and our long-term objectives.
