In 2025, Birla Carbon reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,420,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure represents a decrease from the previous year's emissions of about 2,980,000,000 kg CO2e in 2024. Over the past few years, emissions have shown a general downward trend, with 2023 also recording approximately 2,980,000,000 kg CO2e and 2022 at about 3,110,000,000 kg CO2e. The company has disclosed emissions across various scopes, with significant data available for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions in 2021, which totalled approximately 3,177,044,000 kg CO2e and 86,950,000 kg CO2e, respectively. In contrast, Scope 3 emissions were reported at about 1,830,931,000 kg CO2e in 2020. Despite these figures, Birla Carbon has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments, nor have they engaged with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for formal reduction targets. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests a need for further commitment to climate action within the industry context. Overall, while Birla Carbon has made strides in reducing emissions, the lack of formal targets and initiatives indicates potential areas for improvement in their sustainability strategy.
