Hindustan Zinc Ltd’s Rampura Agucha Mine has received Zinc Mark certification. Zinc Mark is a globally recognised assurance framework that validates responsible zinc production against internationally benchmarked Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) standards, responsible sourcing practices, and value chain transparency.
A media statement said that Rampura Agucha Mine, which is world’s largest underground zinc-lead mine, is India’s first Zinc Mark certified mine.
The achievement follows the company’s recent Zinc Mark certification for its Chanderiya Smelting Complex, making it the first company in India to offer responsibly sourced zinc across the given production chain, it said.
3rd party assessment
The Zinc Mark certification is awarded following an independent third-party assessment under the Copper Mark Assurance Framework, verifying Rampura Agucha’s conformance with internationally recognised responsible production standard across key environmental, social, and governance parameters.
The statement said that global customers today are placing greater emphasis not only on product quality, but also on how metals are produced, sourced, and governed across the supply chain.
Quoting Arun Misra, CEO of Hindustan Zinc, the statement said: “Rampura Agucha Mine receiving the Zinc Mark certification reflects Hindustan Zinc’s integrated approach towards responsible production and ESG excellence across its value chain. As global supply chains evolve, customers are increasingly seeking responsibly sourced metals that align with their sustainability priorities and compliance frameworks. This recognition strengthens customer confidence in company as a trusted partner delivering high-quality zinc backed by transparency, responsible production, and globally benchmarked ESG standards.”
Rampura Agucha Mine continues to set industry benchmarks through technology-led mining, operational excellence, and sustainable resource management. The Zinc Mark certification further strengthens Hindustan Zinc’s role in enabling responsible and future-ready supply chains for industries increasingly transitioning towards decarbonized and sustainable manufacturing practices, the statement added.
