Hindustan Aeronautics's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Hindustan Aeronautics reported carbon emissions of approximately 46,496 tonnes CO2e for Scope 1 and about 90,615 tonnes CO2e for Scope 2. This reflects a slight decrease in Scope 2 emissions compared to 2022, where emissions were around 105,578 tonnes CO2e, while Scope 1 emissions increased from approximately 46,838 tonnes CO2e in the previous year. For 2024, the company anticipates emissions of about 48,876 tonnes CO2e for Scope 1 and approximately 89,066 tonnes CO2e for Scope 2. This indicates a continued focus on managing and potentially reducing their carbon footprint. Despite these figures, Hindustan Aeronautics has not publicly committed to specific reduction targets or initiatives, as indicated by the absence of documented reduction targets or climate pledges. The company operates within an industry context that increasingly prioritises sustainability and carbon neutrality, suggesting a need for future commitments to align with global climate goals.
