Hindustan Zinc has strengthened its longstanding association with Tata Steel to expand the integration of EcoZen, its low-carbon zinc solution into sustainable steel manufacturing. The collaboration reflects both companies’ shared commitment to embedding climate considerations into core industrial processes and procurement strategies. EcoZen, Asia’s first low-carbon zinc, is produced using renewable energy and has a verified carbon footprint of less than 1 tonne of Carbon Dioxide equivalent per tonne of zinc - around 75% lower than the global industry average. By significantly reducing emissions at the raw material stage, EcoZen enables downstream industries to meaningfully lower value-chain emissions and advance their decarbonisation goals.

Hindustan Zinc has been a trusted strategic partner to Tata Steel for over two decades. The expanded engagement under the EcoZen initiative represents a significant evolution in this collaboration, integrating decades of operational excellence with a proactive focus on decarbonization, sustainable practices, and responsible sourcing, positioning both companies at the forefront of a more resilient steel value chain.

Through this collaboration, Hindustan Zinc and Tata Steel aim to support broader sustainability and climate commitments from Scope 3 emissions reduction to climate-aligned procurement frameworks, while advancing India’s transition toward low carbon, resilient industrial growth. The partnership reinforces how strategic metal innovation and long-term collaboration can deliver scalable climate impact across the steel and metals ecosystem.

Hindustan Zinc is engaged in the mining and smelting of zinc, lead and silver metal in India.
