Abstract -

This study examines the impact of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investing on the financial performance of UltraTech Cement, one of India’s leading cement manufacturers. With growing investor emphasis on sustainability, ESG factors have become increasingly relevant in corporate valuation and capital allocation. The research investigates how UltraTech’s ESG strategies—such as carbon footprint reduction, resource efficiency, employee welfare, and governance practices—affect its financial metrics including profitability, return on equity, and stock performance. Using both qualitative and quantitative methods, the study analyzes UltraTech's ESG disclosures, third-party ESG ratings, and financial data over the past five years. Findings suggest a positive correlation between strong ESG performance and improved financial outcomes, highlighting ESG investing as a value-enhancing strategy for long-term stakeholders.
