Flipkart's reported carbon emissions
In 2022, Flipkart reported total carbon emissions of approximately 686,600 kg CO2e, comprising 404,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 282,600 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. Notably, there is no available data for Scope 3 emissions. This represents a significant reduction from 2021, when the company recorded approximately 533 million kg CO2e, all attributed to Scope 1 emissions. Despite these reductions, Flipkart has not set specific science-based targets or climate pledges to further decrease its carbon footprint. The absence of formal reduction initiatives indicates a need for enhanced climate commitments within the organisation. As of now, Flipkart's emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, and all figures are reported directly from Flipkart Private Limited. Overall, while Flipkart has made strides in reducing its emissions, the lack of comprehensive Scope 3 data and formal reduction targets suggests that further action is necessary to align with industry standards for climate accountability.
