Alkem Laboratories's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Alkem Laboratories reported total carbon emissions of approximately 101,568,000 kg CO2e, comprising 19,249,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 82,319,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This represents a slight increase from 2023, where emissions were about 94,274,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at 15,773,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 78,502,000 kg CO2e. In 2022, the company had total emissions of approximately 138,400,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 31,367,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at 107,033,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Alkem Laboratories has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of defined climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) commitments indicates a potential area for improvement in their sustainability strategy. Overall, while Alkem Laboratories has made strides in tracking emissions, the lack of clear reduction goals suggests that further action may be necessary to align with industry standards for climate commitments.
