This marked a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years, with total emissions in 2022 at approximately 62,830,000,000 kg CO2e. Vedanta's emissions data reveals a trend of increasing Scope 1 and 3 emissions over the years, with Scope 1 emissions rising from about 51,000,000,000 kg CO2e in 2018 to 8,182,542,000 kg CO2e in 2023. The company has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint, indicating a lack of formal commitments to emissions reduction strategies. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that Vedanta may need to enhance its climate commitments to align with industry standards and expectations for sustainability. As the company continues to operate in a carbon-intensive sector, addressing its emissions profile will be crucial for meeting future regulatory and stakeholder demands.
