Earlier this year Adani Group head Gautam Adani claimed the conglomerate would be going from “carbon positive to carbon-neutral, and further on to carbon negative”. Despite these claims Adani Group is constructing the controversial Carmichael thermal coal project in Australia and plans more new thermal coal mines. It has flagged a doubling of its coal-fired power capacity and new gas infrastructure.
This webinar will look beyond the greenwash and provide the evidence to determine how seriously investors should take Adani’s claims of transition. It will examine how Adani Group funds its operations and discuss whether financiers should be treating the conglomerate as one entity, rather than separate companies.
