ESG
ESG Report 2021-2022
ReadAs a critical Natural Gas Pipeline operator in India, we have an important role to play in supporting energy transition in the country. We remain committed on decarbonizing our operations, starting with low carbon, and eventually minimizing hard to abate emissions through technological innovation in adopting cleaner fuels.
Our approach at PIL has always been to protect the interest of our key stakeholders and gain their trust towards establishing a sustainable future. In this direction, we formalised our ESG journey and engaged with our stakeholders to identify Key Material issues. We have also set up systems and processes to track progress and plan tactical and strategic initiatives for achievement of our ESG commitments. The ESG Committee of the Board confirmed the Company’s ESG vision and longer-term goals and commitments, which established the ESG Blueprint. This has enabled the Company further to embed the various elements of “E”, “S” and “G” in key aspects of PIL operations.
