Kutch Copper (KCL), a unit of Adani Enterprises and operator of one of the world's largest single-location copper smelters, today announced that it has received the prestigious Veramark Assurance, formerly Copper Mark, certification, becoming the first Indian producer to be recognised under the global framework for responsible copper production.

Veramark Assurance, formerly Copper Mark, is a leading independent assurance framework that promotes responsible practices across the copper, nickel, and zinc value chains. The certification is awarded to facilities that comply with rigorous, independent third-party audits of their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance.

The certification enables producers to demonstrate alignment with leading international standards for responsible production, while actively advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—particularly SDG 12 on responsible consumption and production.
