ReNew Energy Global Plc (“ReNew”) (NASDAQ: RNW), India’s leading provider of decarbonization solutions, has achieved a score of 83 in the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment—the highest ever for an India-based energy company. Ranked among the top 10% of energy companies worldwide, ReNew is placed in the 93rd percentile globally (as of October 27, 2025, 54% of 239 companies assessed). The assessment is a globally recognized benchmark for evaluating environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance, covering areas such as climate strategy, workforce development, corporate governance, ethics, cybersecurity and transparency.

This recognition reiterates ReNew’s leadership as a global sustainability pioneer, driving the energy transition and shaping the future of clean energy across emerging markets. It also marks the first time an India-based energy company has crossed the 80-point threshold in one of the world’s most respected ESG benchmarks. The score reflects a ~14% improvement over last year and a 102% increase since ReNew’s FY22 debut. ReNew has demonstrated remarkable progress in its ESG performance, with significant improvements in Social (~27%) and Governance (~23%) pillars, alongside a notable 6% increase in the Environment category.

It is a testament to the growing maturity of sustainability practices within India’s energy sector where companies are increasingly aligning environmental ambition with economic opportunity.
