In 2024, Asian Paints reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,403,000,000 kg CO2e, with significant contributions from Scope 3 emissions, which accounted for about 3,403,000,000 kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were approximately 72,794,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions totalled around 44,357,000 kg CO2e. The previous year, 2023, saw similar figures, with Scope 1 emissions at about 74,943,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 44,600,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at around 3,361,000,000 kg CO2e. Asian Paints has made notable strides in reducing its carbon footprint, achieving a 41% reduction in Scope 1 emissions and a 47% reduction in Scope 2 emissions from FY 2013–14 to 2023. These reductions reflect the company's commitment to sustainability and climate action. The company has disclosed emissions data across all relevant scopes (1, 2, and 3) and has set ambitious targets for further reductions. However, there are currently no specific Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) targets reported. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that Asian Paints operates independently in its climate reporting and commitments.
