UPL has emerged as the global ESG frontrunner in agricultural solutions, securing the highest ESG score worldwide in the 2025 Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) powered by S&P Global. With an impressive ESG score of 77, far above the sector average of 32, UPL is also the only agricultural solutions company to earn a coveted spot on the DJSI World Index—a distinction that underscores its rising influence in the global sustainability landscape.

For Chairman and Group CEO Jai Shroff, the recognition validates a long-term strategy anchored in redefining the role of agriculture in climate and sustainability agendas. “Agriculture lies at the heart of global sustainability,” he said. “Being named the top sustainable company in our sector reaffirms our commitment to ‘Reimagining Sustainability’—empowering farmers, strengthening food security, and building a resilient future.”

That commitment is backed by hard data. According to Dr. Mritunjay Chaubey, Chief Sustainability Officer, UPL surpassed all FY25 environmental footprint reduction goals, achieving a 38 per cent cut in carbon emissions, 49 per cent reduction in water usage, and 52 per cent reduction in waste compared to its FY2020 baseline—marking one of the most aggressive sustainability overhauls in the agri-input industry.

The 2025 DJSI assessment reviewed 13,000+ companies, representing 99 per cent of global market capitalization. Securing a top score places UPL not only at the leading edge of its sector but among the best-performing companies worldwide on ESG criteria.

With this milestone, UPL reinforces its position as a global sustainability bellwether—demonstrating that agricultural innovation and environmental stewardship can scale together, creating long-term value for farmers, investors, and the planet.
