Gujarat Gas

Gujarat Gas Limited (GGL) is India's largest urban gas distribution company in terms of sales volume. It is headquartered in Ahmedabad, India and operates in 44 districts across six states: Gujarat, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab and Rajasthan. Its total network involves 39,300 kilometres of natural gas pipeline. The company was established in 1980 and is a state enterprise owned by the Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation. It serves 2.1 million households, 15,200 commercial customers and 4,390 industrial customers.

Summary

GGL discloses information on certain topics related to urban sustainability but is lacking disclosure on many important topics. GGL demonstrates leadership in its collaboration with local municipalities to minimise the safety risks and environmental impact of natural gas construction activities. However, the company can improve its sustainability governance by disclosing its strategy to address its most material sustainability risks, and by assigning clear responsibility for the oversight and implementation of this strategy.

The company reports information on some environmental parameters, including air pollution, scope 1 and 2 emissions and water withdrawal. However, this reporting is not consistent over the last three years, which makes it difficult to assess the company’s progress on these topics. The company also lacks reporting on the affordability of its services, which is a critical topic for the energy sector. GGL has publicly available policy commitments to ensure health and safety and prevent bribery and corruption, but it can improve its overall commitments towards human and labour rights and disclose its process for identifying, assessing and mitigating its salient human rights risks.
