The Scope 3 emissions included contributions from the use of sold products (0.2 kg CO2e), purchased goods and services (0.1 kg CO2e), waste generated in operations (0.3 kg CO2e), and upstream transportation and distribution (0.4 kg CO2e). Over the years, Aurora Dairy has shown a gradual reduction in Scope 1 emissions, decreasing from about 1.94 kg CO2e in 2012 to about 1.79 kg CO2e in 2015. However, there are no specific reduction targets or climate pledges documented in their initiatives, indicating a potential area for improvement in their climate commitments. Overall, while Aurora Dairy has made strides in reducing its emissions, the absence of formal reduction targets suggests that further action may be necessary to enhance their sustainability efforts in the dairy industry.
