Adani Ports Becomes First Indian Integrated Transport Utility to Adopt TNFD Framework

Ahmedabad, November 12, 2025:  Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone announced that it has joined the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures as an Adopter. This makes APSEZ the first integrated transport utility in India to adopt the TNFD framework. This move is a significant step towards a nature-positive infrastructure development.

Key Highlights

APSEZ opted for this move in a vision to identify and manage its nature-related risks, impacts, and opportunities. With the adoption, this can be done in an even more efficient way. As another medium of showcasing its commitment towards environmental sustainability, APSEZ has afforested 4,200 hectares, conserving about 3,000 hectares of land. This makes APSEZ the largest private-sector contributor to mangrove ecosystem restoration in India. This move is a part of the company’s efforts in ecosystem reforestation.

Now, APSEZ is one among the global port operators that promote biodiversity and sustainable maritime practices. In the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) 2025, the company tops 5% among transport firms across the globe.

Strategic Commitment to Sustainability

The Whole-Time Director & CEO of APSEZ, Ashwani Gupta, said that we strongly believe in responsible business practices that drive long-term success. The company’s adoption of the TNFD framework demonstrates our support and efforts for the nature-related corporate reporting at COP30. The company sees the nature-related issue as an important strategic risk management.
