This marked a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years, particularly in Scope 3, which reflects the broader impact of their supply chain. In 2024, Gmdc's emissions further increased, with Scope 1 emissions at 453,999,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 191,883,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 remaining substantial at 265,366,000 kg CO2e. This trend indicates a growing carbon footprint, necessitating urgent climate action. Despite the rising emissions, Gmdc has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company’s emissions intensity metrics, such as 6.005 for Scope 1 and 2 emissions per rupee of turnover, suggest a need for enhanced sustainability practices to align with industry standards and climate goals. Overall, Gmdc's current emissions data highlights the importance of developing robust climate commitments to mitigate their environmental impact effectively.
