ReNew Scores 83 in S&P Global Assessment—Setting a New Benchmark for Indian Energy Companies

ReNew Becomes India’s Highest-Rated Energy Company for Sustainability

ReNew Energy Global Plc (NASDAQ: RNW) has just set a new record in India’s energy sector, achieving an S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) score of 83—the highest ever by any Indian energy company. This breakthrough places ReNew among the top 10% of energy companies globally, landing in the 93rd percentile, as of October 27, 2025. To put this into perspective, only 54% of the 239 companies assessed crossed the halfway mark, and none from India have previously exceeded 80 points.

Sustainability Performance Shows Significant Improvement

ReNew’s journey toward ESG leadership is clear in its numbers. Since its debut in the S&P CSA in FY22, ReNew’s score has climbed over 100%, and this year’s 83-point performance marks a 14% jump over last year. Particularly notable are the improvements across all pillars of ESG:

ReNew's overall ESG focus has driven comprehensive improvements, setting it apart not just in India but on the world stage.

Clean Energy Impact and Ambitious Climate Targets

In FY25, ReNew generated over 22 billion kWh of clean energy and avoided more than 18.6 million tonnes of carbon emissions. Notably, it achieved an 18.2% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions from its FY22 baseline, exceeding annual targets and maintaining carbon neutrality for the fifth year in a row. The company also sources 76% of its electricity from renewables, well above its 2025 target of 50%.

Diversity and Social Impact Mark Further Gains

ReNew is making strides not only in climate action but also in social progress and governance. The company now has 16% gender diversity in its workforce, with women holding 40% of board positions, 12% of STEM roles, and 17% of management spots. ReNew's initiatives have positively impacted over 1.7 million lives in India. On the water stewardship front, ReNew saved more than 540 million litres this year—a 50% increase from last year—progressing towards its goal of being water-positive by 2030.

Sustainability Leadership Bolsters ReNew’s Market Position

Vaishali Nigam Sinha, Co-Founder and Chairperson for Sustainability, says the new S&P score cements ReNew’s reputation among investors and stakeholders, underscoring how Indian energy firms can pair environmental ambition with long-term business value. The company’s end-to-end decarbonization solutions, spanning nearly 18.2 GW in its energy portfolio and 6.4 GW in solar module manufacturing (with plans to add 4 GW in 2026), position it for further growth and global relevance.

Takeaway: RNW’s ESG Score Raises the Bar for Indian Energy

ReNew’s S&P Global CSA score isn’t just a trophy; it signals deeper strategic shifts in the Indian energy landscape—toward transparent, inclusive, and sustainable business practices. For investors and market watchers, this achievement suggests that ReNew could serve as a bellwether for India’s growing role in the global clean energy transition.
