Adani’s Kutch Copper First Indian Firm to Get Copper Mark

Kutch Copper Ltd (KCL), a unit of Adani Enterprises Limited, has become the first Indian producer to receive the prestigious Copper Mark (Veramark Assurance) certification for responsible copper production.

Key Highlights

• The Copper Mark is a leading independent global assurance framework that evaluates environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance across the copper value chain through rigorous third-party audits.
• The certification reinforces KCL’s commitment to world-class ESG standards, transparency, accountability and continuous improvement.
• It advances the company’s alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 12 on responsible consumption and production.

Dr. Vinay Prakash, CEO, Adani Natural Resources and Managing Director, KCL, said:
“Achieving the Copper Mark, a first for any Indian producer, underscores our unwavering commitment to sustainable and responsible production. This milestone positions Kutch Copper among an elite group of leading global producers adhering to internationally recognised standards.”

Kutch Copper operates one of the world’s largest single-location copper smelters at Mundra, Gujarat. The recognition strengthens its position as a trusted supplier of responsibly produced copper amid rising global demand driven by renewable energy, electric mobility and infrastructure growth.
