The company has disclosed emissions data for Scope 1 and Scope 2 but has not provided information on Scope 3 emissions. Notably, Nestlé India has not set specific reduction targets or climate pledges as part of its sustainability initiatives. The emissions intensity for Scope 1 and Scope 2 in 2024 was reported at approximately 510,000 kg CO2e per tonne, compared to about 538,000 kg CO2e per tonne in 2022. This indicates a slight improvement in emissions efficiency over the years. Overall, while Nestlé India Limited has made strides in tracking and reporting its carbon emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for further commitment to climate action.
