In an era where sustainability is not just a choice but a benchmark of excellence, the Adani Group’s energy businesses are setting a new global standard. Three of its energy companies—Adani Power, Adani Energy Solutions and Adani Green Energy—have together achieved a rare distinction: significant upgrades in their ESG Risk Ratings from Morningstar Sustainalytics, placing them among the very best not only in India but across the globe.
The latest ratings underscore a clear trajectory of transformation. Adani Power has moved from high to medium risk, Adani Energy Solutions from medium to low and Adani Green Energy—already in the low-risk category—has been rated even lower. Low ESG risk scores signal reduced vulnerability to environmental, social and governance disruptions, offering investors not just stability and responsible management, but a promise of sustainable long-term returns.
Independent and rigorous, Morningstar Sustainalytics’ assessments are based solely on publicly disclosed information. The consistent improvement across the Adani energy portfolio reinforces the Group’s transparency and governance, echoing earlier regulatory findings that dismissed external allegations against its operations.
Globally, the recognition is extraordinary. Adani Green Energy and Adani Energy Solutions now rank seventh and eighth worldwide among electrical utilities—a testament to operational resilience and governance strength. Within India, the three companies lead their respective categories by a significant margin, surpassing peers across all risk metrics.
Beyond the numbers, these ratings reflect tangible, forward-looking initiatives. Adani Green Energy, India’s largest renewable energy company, now operates more than 16.5 GW of capacity, contributing directly to the global energy transition. Adani Energy Solutions and Adani Green Energy are certified Zero-Waste-to-Landfill, Single-Use-Plastic-Free and Net Water Positive. Meanwhile, Adani Power sets new benchmarks in water efficiency, achieving the lowest consumption among comparable plants.
This marks the third consecutive year of ESG improvement across the Group’s energy businesses, highlighting a governance-driven transformation that blends growth with responsibility. Taken together, these achievements are more than accolades—they are a statement of intent: the Adani energy companies are not only powering homes and industries today but are shaping the sustainable energy landscape of tomorrow.
With governance, resilience and sustainability converging, the Adani Group is charting a course that positions its energy companies among the world’s most trusted, future-ready enterprises. In a sector often challenged by uncertainty, the message is clear: the future belongs to those who manage responsibly, invest in resilience and embrace the promise of sustainable growth.
