Hindustan Aeronautics's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Hindustan Aeronautics reported total carbon emissions of approximately 137.9 million kg CO2e, comprising about 48.9 million kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 89.1 million kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This data reflects their commitment to transparency in emissions reporting, although no Scope 3 emissions data was disclosed. Comparatively, in 2023, the company recorded total emissions of approximately 137.9 million kg CO2e, with similar contributions from Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. The figures indicate a consistent level of emissions over the two years, suggesting a stable operational footprint. Hindustan Aeronautics has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of documented reduction strategies highlights an area for potential improvement in their climate commitments. Overall, while Hindustan Aeronautics demonstrates a commitment to emissions transparency, the lack of defined reduction targets may limit their progress in addressing climate change effectively.
