Adani Group's Tax Transparency Initiative

The group has released a document titled 'Basis of Preparation and Approach to Tax' on its seven entities' websites. This document provides a detailed breakdown of Adani Group's global tax and other contributions. It includes direct contributions like global taxes and duties borne by the companies, indirect contributions like taxes collected for others, and other contributions such as social security for employees.

Adani Group views tax transparency as essential to its broader ESG framework. Through this voluntary initiative, it aims to show commitment to transparency, build stakeholder trust, and contribute to a more accountable global tax environment. The group seeks to balance growth with social responsibility, aiming to transform India's infrastructure landscape while fostering innovation and creating long-term value for stakeholders.

Understanding the Tax Transparency Report

In today's evolving global tax environment, forward-thinking companies are voluntarily releasing Tax Transparency Reports (TTR). These reports aim to attract wider stakeholder attention and enhance credibility by establishing high standards of tax transparency. Although not mandatory, these reports are becoming increasingly common among proactive businesses.

The group has engaged a professional agency for an independent assurance report on its global contribution to the exchequer. This information is included in the Tax Transparency section of the annual report. It details various taxes and other contributions paid globally by group companies and outlines the group's approach to tax.
