Airtel's sustainability reporting indicates a commitment to reducing its environmental impact. While specific reduction targets are not detailed in the provided data, the company's emissions reporting is cascaded from its ultimate parent organisation. Its Scope 1 and 2 emissions intensity is reported per unit of revenue. For instance, in the 2024 reporting period, the Scope 1 and 2 emission intensity was approximately 5.2 x 10^-7 kg CO2e per Indian Rupee of turnover. The preceding year, this intensity was about 5.6 x 10^-7 kg CO2e per Indian Rupee of turnover. Further details regarding carbon reduction initiatives and targets are cascaded from Bharti Airtel Limited, which aligns with Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and RE100 commitments. This indicates a broader corporate strategy within the Airtel group to achieve climate goals.
