Adani Group companies lose climate endorsement

Three Adani Group companies have lost their endorsement from the world's leading arbiter of corporate green goals, a blow to the industrial conglomerate's attempt to reposition itself as a leader of India's energy transition.

The companies affected by the loss of endorsement are Adani Enterprises, Adani Green Energy, and Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone. The UN-backed group helps companies establish concrete plans to reduce emissions consistent with the Paris Agreement's target of limiting global warming.

These entities were previously part of the Climate Group's global initiatives aimed at accelerating the transition to clean energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The decision to revoke the endorsement came as a result of concerns raised by environmental activists and organizations regarding the Adani Group's involvement in the coal industry and alleged environmental violations associated with its projects.

The Climate Group's decision reflects the increasing scrutiny faced by companies regarding their environmental impact and adherence to sustainable practices.

It may impact the group's ability to attract investors who prioritize environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in their investment decisions.
