SJVN’s receipt of the ABMS Certification underscores its unwavering commitment to conducting business ethically and with the highest standards of integrity. This achievement not only sets a benchmark for the power sector but also serves as an inspiration for other organizations to follow suit in upholding the principles of transparency and accountability.
