Madras Fertilizers Limited's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Madras Fertilizers Limited reported carbon emissions of approximately 196,000,000 kg CO2e, all of which fall under Scope 1 emissions. This marks a significant reduction from 2023, where emissions were about 323,000,000 kg CO2e. The company has shown a consistent downward trend in its Scope 1 emissions over the past few years, decreasing from approximately 326,000,000 kg CO2e in 2022 and 365,000,000 kg CO2e in 2021. Despite these reductions, Madras Fertilizers Limited has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges, indicating a potential area for future commitment. The absence of Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions suggests that the company is currently focusing solely on direct emissions from its operations. As the industry increasingly prioritises sustainability, further commitments could enhance their climate strategy and align with global climate goals.
