Cargill India Pvt. Ltd. has reported its carbon emissions data for the years 2017 to 2022, focusing on the average Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity related to residues and waste from the food industries, specifically prepared animal fodder. In 2022, the average GHG intensity was approximately 115.0 tonnes CO2e per tonne of feed produced. This marked a decrease from 120.0 tonnes CO2e in 2021, 100.0 tonnes CO2e in 2020, and 119.0 tonnes CO2e in 2019. The emissions intensity was higher in 2018 at about 124.0 tonnes CO2e and 81.0 tonnes CO2e in 2017. Despite these figures, Cargill India has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint. The company appears to be committed to monitoring and reporting its emissions but lacks defined climate pledges or targets under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Overall, while Cargill India has shown some fluctuations in its GHG intensity over the years, the absence of formal reduction commitments highlights an area for potential improvement in its climate strategy.
