Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL), India’s largest renewable energy company, has strengthened its nature-positive sustainability agenda by integrating the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) framework into its enterprise-wide strategy. This global, science-based framework guides organisations in identifying, assessing and disclosing their nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities.
AGEL’s adoption of TNFD marks a significant shift from conventional ESG compliance towards a more holistic model where ecological health advances alongside renewable energy growth. Beginning in FY24, the company conducted comprehensive assessments across all operational sites to map nature-related risks and opportunities, embedding these insights into strategic planning even before formally joining the TNFD Adopters group.
Ashish Khanna, CEO of AGEL, emphasised that nature remains central to the company’s growth strategy. “By mainstreaming TNFD principles across our operations, we are building resilient ecosystems alongside renewable energy infrastructure. Addressing nature-related risks positively is essential for long-term business resilience and sustainable value creation for communities, investors and the planet,” he said.
The TNFD initiative—established by UNEP FI, UNDP, WWF and Global Canopy—provides a robust disclosure framework for organisations seeking to integrate biodiversity into decision-making. AGEL’s alignment with TNFD reinforces its leadership among global renewable energy companies prioritising ecological protection and biodiversity conservation.
Reaffirming its commitment to long-term nature stewardship, AGEL has pledged to achieve No Net Loss of Biodiversity by 2030 and plans to plant 27.86 million trees across project locations. This builds on the company’s strong ESG performance, including certified water-positive operations, single-use-plastic-free status and zero-waste-to-landfill sites.
