Adani Green Energy Integrates TNFD Across Operations to Protect Nature

Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL), India’s largest renewable power producer, has taken a decisive step toward nature-positive growth by fully adopting the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) framework across its operations.

The move marks a shift beyond standard ESG compliance, placing biodiversity and ecosystem health at the center of clean energy development and long-term business strategy.

From FY24, Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) began a detailed internal assessment to identify nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks, and opportunities at all existing project sites.

Notably, this effort started even before AGEL formally joined the TNFD Adopters group, underlining its intent to embed nature-linked insights into planning and decision-making rather than limiting them to annual disclosures.

“Nature lies at the core of our development journey. Integrating the TNFD principles into our working systems helps us identify ways to create resilient ecosystems along with renewable energy infrastructure. Our aim is to ensure that the growth of green power supports the conservation and restoration of natural assets. Tackling nature-linked risks proactively is essential for business longevity and for delivering sustainable value to communities, investors and the planet,” said Ashish Khanna, CEO, AGEL.

The TNFD is a science-based global initiative supported by the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative, the United Nations Development Programme, the World Wildlife Fund, and Global Canopy. It provides organizations with a clear framework to assess and disclose nature-related financial risks and opportunities.

By aligning with TNFD, Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) strengthens its standing among global renewable leaders integrating biodiversity into core strategy. The company is also part of the India Business Biodiversity Initiative and has committed to achieving No Net Loss of Biodiversity by 2030, supported by plans to plant 27.86 million trees across its project sites.

AGEL currently operates over 16.5 GW of renewable capacity across 12 Indian states and is targeting 50 GW by 2030, while continuing to invest in technology to lower energy costs and scale affordable green power.
