Cairn India Limited's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Vedanta Limited

Cairn India Limited, headquartered in India, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is part of a corporate family that includes Vedanta Limited, which may influence its climate commitments and performance metrics. Cairn India Limited has not established specific reduction targets or climate pledges, nor does it report any initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The lack of detailed emissions data and reduction initiatives suggests that the company may be in the early stages of developing a comprehensive climate strategy. As a merged entity with Vedanta Limited, any climate performance metrics or commitments may be inherited from this parent company. However, without specific data or targets from either Cairn India Limited or Vedanta Limited, it is challenging to assess their overall climate impact or commitments effectively. In summary, Cairn India Limited currently lacks publicly available emissions data and defined climate commitments, reflecting a potential area for future development in sustainability practices within the organisation.
