Meesho, headquartered in India, has reported its carbon emissions data for the years 2019 to 2022, focusing on emissions per employee. In 2019, the carbon emissions per employee were approximately 0.0973 kg CO2e. This figure decreased to about 0.07561 kg CO2e in 2020, indicating a positive trend in reducing emissions. However, in 2021, emissions per employee rose slightly to approximately 0.08561 kg CO2e, before increasing again to about 0.09831 kg CO2e in 2022. Despite these fluctuations, Meesho has not disclosed specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or any formal climate pledges. The absence of defined reduction initiatives suggests that while the company is monitoring its emissions, it may need to establish clearer climate commitments to align with industry standards and expectations for sustainability.
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
