This indicates an increase in total emissions from 2020 to 2021. Akzo Nobel India Limited is a current subsidiary of Akzo Nobel N.V., and its emissions data is cascaded from the parent company. However, there are no specific reduction targets or climate pledges reported at this level, indicating a potential area for future commitment. Overall, while Akzo Nobel India Limited has made strides in emissions reporting, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests that further action may be necessary to align with industry standards for climate commitments.
