KOLKATA, India, July 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Himadri Speciality Chemical Ltd, a global frontrunner in advanced materials and sustainable chemical solutions, has been named a CDP Supplier Engagement Leader for 2024. This prestigious recognition places Himadri among the top-rated companies globally for its efforts in driving climate action across its supply chain.

Himadri earned an ‘A’ rating across critical categories of CDP’s Supplier Engagement Assessment (SEA), such as Supplier Engagement, Scope 3 Emissions Verification, Risk Management Processes, and Governance & Business Strategy. The highest performance on these crucial parameters reflects Himadri’s strong alignment with global climate disclosure frameworks and deep-rooted approach to environmental stewardship.

This milestone is built on Himadri’s ‘B’ rating in its maiden CDP Climate Change and Water Security Evaluation in 2024, underscoring its rapid progression in ESG excellence and data transparency.

Earning the distinction of CDP Supplier Engagement Leader with an ‘A’ rating is a reaffirmation of our deep-rooted commitment to driving positive change collaboratively, upstream and downstream.

This achievement underscores the strength of our integrated ESG strategy, where supplier engagement, Scope 3 emissions accountability, and governance are seamlessly aligned with global climate goals. As we look ahead, we remain resolute in expanding this ecosystem of shared responsibility by fostering co-innovation, strengthening partnerships, and enabling measurable impact across every layer of our value chain.
