Asian Paints's reported carbon emissions
As of 2024, Asian Paints reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 72,794,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 44,357,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, alongside 3,320,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This indicates a continued reliance on fossil fuels and other carbon-intensive processes, particularly in their supply chain. In 2023, the company recorded emissions of about 74,943,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 44,600,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 3,280,000,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. This data reflects a slight increase in Scope 1 emissions compared to the previous year, highlighting the challenges in reducing direct emissions. Asian Paints has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its carbon footprint, it may not yet have formalised a comprehensive strategy for emissions reduction. Overall, Asian Paints faces the challenge of addressing its substantial carbon emissions while navigating the complexities of its supply chain and production processes.
