Himadri Speciality Chemical Ltd, a global leader in advanced materials and sustainable chemical solutions, has been recognized as a Supplier Engagement Leader by CDP for the year 2024. This distinction places Himadri among the top-performing companies worldwide for driving climate-related initiatives across its supply chain. The company achieved top scores across key areas such as supplier engagement, Scope 3 emissions verification, risk management, and governance strategy — demonstrating strong alignment with global climate disclosure standards and a firm commitment to environmental responsibility.

This recognition follows Himadri’s initial ‘B’ rating in its first CDP Climate Change and Water Security assessments in 2024, marking a significant leap forward in its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) journey. The swift progression from a debut rating to achieving leadership status highlights the company’s determined efforts to enhance transparency and embed sustainability practices across its operations and supply partners.

Commenting on the achievement, Anurag Choudhary, Chairman and Managing Director of Himadri Speciality Chemical Ltd, said, “Earning a spot on the CDP Supplier Engagement Leaderboard is a proud moment for us.

The ‘A’ rating underscores the effectiveness of Himadri’s integrated ESG strategy — one that combines supplier engagement, accountability for indirect emissions, and strong governance practices.

Looking ahead, the company is focused on expanding this foundation of sustainability by encouraging co-innovation, strengthening relationships, and promoting measurable outcomes across the entire value chain. Himadri aims to shape an industrial ecosystem that is future-ready, environmentally conscious, and capable of delivering long-term value for all stakeholders.
