Hindalco Industries, headquartered in India and operating in the Aluminium and aluminium products industry, has reported its carbon emissions and climate commitments.

In 2026, Hindalco Industries's Scope 1 emissions were about 24,910,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 390,000,000 kg CO2e. Looking back to 2025, Scope 1 emissions were around 25,190,000,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions were about 410,000,000 kg CO2e.

For 2024, the company reported Scope 1 emissions of approximately 25,280,000,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (location-based) of around 440,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling about 1,830,000,000 kg CO2e. This Scope 3 total included approximately 1,080,000,000 kg CO2e from purchased goods and services, 90,000,000 kg CO2e from waste generated in operations, 390,000,000 kg CO2e from fuel and energy-related activities, 200,000,000 kg CO2e from upstream transportation and distribution, and 70,000,000 kg CO2e from downstream transportation and distribution.

In 2023, Hindalco Industries's Scope 1 emissions were approximately 24,830,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions (location-based) were around 690,000,000 kg CO2e. In 2022, Scope 1 emissions were about 26,490,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions (location-based) were approximately 590,000,000 kg CO2e. For 2021, Scope 1 emissions were around 25,100,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions (location-based) were about 420,000,000 kg CO2e. In 2020, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 26,940,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were around 690,000,000 kg CO2e. In 2019, Scope 1 emissions were about 27,220,000,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions were approximately 550,000,000 kg CO2e.

The company has set several climate commitments. For its Novelis operations, Hindalco Industries plans to reduce the absolute carbon footprint by 30% by FY 2026 and by 100% by 2050, against a FY 2016 base year. Across its operations, Hindalco Industries aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030 for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Additionally, the company has set a target to reduce its Scope 1 emissions by 30% from 2020 levels by 2030, and its Scope 2 emissions by 30% from 2020 levels by 2030. They are also targeting a 25% reduction in specific energy consumption and specific GHG emissions for both Scope 1 and Scope 2 by 2025, against a 2011 base year. Another target includes a 25% reduction in specific GHG emissions by FY 2026-27 against the base year FY 2011-12. Previously, Hindalco Industries aimed for a 15% reduction in specific GHG emissions in aluminium production for Scope 1 and Scope 2 by 2025 from a 2011-12 base year, and a 15% reduction in specific energy consumption and GHG emissions of Hindalco Operations by 2020 for Scope 1 and Scope 2 from a 2011 base year. They also have a target for a 35% reduction in specific energy consumption and GHG emissions from a 2005-06 base year by 2030 for Scope 1 and Scope 2. Hindalco Industries has committed to net-zero with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for all scopes by 2050.
