Hdfc's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, HDFC reported total carbon emissions of approximately 24,856,590 kg CO2e, with emissions distributed across various scopes: 3,981,440 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 11,903,120 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 8,972,030 kg CO2e from Scope 3. The Scope 1 emissions primarily stemmed from mobile combustion, while Scope 2 emissions were mainly due to purchased electricity. Scope 3 emissions included significant contributions from business travel and employee commuting. HDFC's emissions have shown fluctuations over the years. For instance, in 2021, the total emissions were about 20,353,870 kg CO2e, indicating a slight increase in 2022 to approximately 21,817,510 kg CO2e. The bank has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, which may limit its ability to demonstrate a clear commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. Overall, HDFC's emissions data reflects its operational impact on climate change, and while it has disclosed comprehensive emissions across all three scopes, the absence of defined reduction initiatives suggests an opportunity for enhanced climate action.
