Notably, there is no disclosed data for Scope 3 emissions prior to 2024. Hero MotoCorp has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, and there are no initiatives reported under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate frameworks. The company’s emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that all reported figures are directly from Hero MotoCorp Limited. Overall, while Hero MotoCorp has made strides in tracking its emissions, the absence of reduction targets suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments to align with industry standards and expectations.
