JSW Steel Named 2026 'Sustainability Champion' by the World Steel Association

JSW Steel Ltd. ("JSW Steel" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has been recognised as a Sustainability Champion by the World Steel Association (worldsteel) for the eighth consecutive year.

worldsteel's Sustainability Champions Programme honours member organisations that demonstrate a robust and consistent commitment to sustainable development. To qualify, companies must meet three core criteria. First, they must provide verifiable evidence of meeting 20 criteria spanning environmental, social, governance, and economic (ESGE) dimensions, as defined by worldsteel's Sustainability Charter - a globally recognised framework outlining the principles and practices for responsible and sustainable steel production. Second, they must submit Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) data covering over 60% of their crude steel production to worldsteel. This data tracks and quantifies environmental inputs (e.g., raw materials and energy) and outputs (e.g., emissions and waste) across the cradle-to-gate life cycle of steel products. Third, they must have received formal industry recognition through a nomination for a worldsteel Steelie Award or acknowledgement under the association's Safety and Health Recognition Programme.

Commenting on the recognition, Jayant Acharya, Joint Managing Director and CEO - JSW Steel, said: "Being named a worldsteel Sustainability Champion for the eighth consecutive year reflects the seriousness with which sustainability is embedded in JSW Steel's business strategy. We view sustainability not as an obligation, but as a key source of long-term competitiveness-shaping how we invest, innovate, and operate at scale. This recognition validates our belief that disciplined execution and measurable progress are essential as the steel industry transitions toward a low-carbon, resilient future."

As the global steel industry accelerates its transition toward low-carbon production, sustained recognition of this nature underlines that JSW Steel's sustainability agenda is not only clearly defined, but also measurable, credible, and consistently advancing. JSW Steel extends its sincere appreciation to all internal stakeholders whose dedication to sustainable operations and value creation made this achievement possible. This recognition strengthens the Company's resolve to continue delivering sustainable value that endures for its stakeholders, its communities, and the planet, in a manner aligned with its ethos of being #BetterEveryday.
