We have simplified our vision to ‘be the clear leader in our industry’ where leadership is not defined by scale alone, but by the choices we make, the discipline with which we execute, and the positive impact we have on society, leveraging sustainability, innovation, and operational excellence.”

CDP Scoring

Birla Carbon achieved the highest possible score for a privately disclosing company, receiving a B in both Climate and Water from CDP.

The recognition reflects our continued focus on climate and water management, transparency, and action. It reinforces our approach to addressing environmental priorities through measurable progress and responsible resource management.

Continua™
Scale-Up

Continua

Our aspiration to make circular carbonaceous material available at scale has become a reality.

Continua™ SCM production facilities in Italy and India are now fully operational, supported by a global supply chain, robust quality management, and strong HSE practices.

This marks an important step in Birla Carbon’s journey towards Net Zero and gives customers access to consistent-quality circular alternatives to traditional carbon black.

Ethical Supply Chain & Supplier Due Diligence

Ethical Supply Chain & Supplier Due Diligence

Responsible sourcing remains central to our procurement strategy.

Launched in 2019, our due diligence program now covers 100% of our 18,171 active vendors, with continuous screening through the NAVEX RiskRate® platform.

In addition, 100% of employees receive policy training and 100% of suppliers acknowledge purchasing terms prohibiting child and forced labor. No labor incidents have been identified to date.

Targets and Progress

To meet our Vision to be the most respected, sustainable, and dynamic global carbon-based business, we have set key performance indicators (KPIs) to track our progress towards FY2030.
