IRFC's reported carbon emissions

As of the latest available data, the Indian Railway Finance Corporation (IRFC) does not report any specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of disclosed emissions data. Consequently, there are no recorded totals for Scope 1, Scope 2, or Scope 3 emissions. IRFC has not established any documented reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This absence of data suggests that the organisation may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy or reporting practices. Given the context of the industry, it is essential for IRFC to develop and communicate clear climate commitments to align with global sustainability goals and enhance transparency in its environmental impact.
