Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone (APSEZ) has secured a spot among the world’s top 10 transportation and transportation infrastructure companies in the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) rankings for 2024. This makes APSEZ the only Indian company featured in the rankings.

APSEZ achieved a score of 68 out of 100, a three-point improvement from last year, placing it in the 97th percentile within its sector. The company excelled in key areas such as transparency, supply chain management, cybersecurity, and environmental practices. Notably, APSEZ maintained its top position in the environmental dimension for the second consecutive year.

Ashwini Gupta, CEO of APSEZ, remarked, “This recognition reflects our commitment to sustainability and responsible business practices. We remain dedicated to our Net Zero by 2040 goal.”

APSEZ is India’s largest private port operator, with a cargo handling capacity of 633 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) and plans to expand to 1 billion mtpa by 2030. It operates 13 Indian ports, accounting for 24% of the nation’s port capacity, and has a growing international presence with projects in Sri Lanka, Israel, and Tanzania.

In December 2024, APSEZ handled 38.4 million metric tonnes (MMT) of cargo, marking an 8% year-on-year growth. For the year-to-date, the company managed 332.4 MMT, driven by a 19% rise in container volumes and an 8% increase in liquids and gas.
