In 2023, the emissions were slightly lower, with Scope 1 at about 74,943,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 44,600,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 3 emissions remained high at around 3,280,000,000 kg CO2e. The data indicates a consistent pattern of emissions across these scopes, highlighting the challenges faced in reducing overall carbon output. Asian Paints has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. However, the company continues to focus on sustainability and reducing its environmental impact through various operational strategies. The absence of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for Asian Paints to enhance its climate commitments and align with global sustainability goals. Overall, while Asian Paints has made strides in tracking its emissions, the need for clear reduction strategies remains critical in the fight against climate change.
