In 2024, Orient Cement reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,639,069,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 16,672,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 641,616,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This indicates a significant reliance on direct emissions (Scope 1) and highlights the importance of addressing both operational and supply chain emissions. In 2023, the company recorded emissions of about 3,485,763,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 34,626,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 54,287,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3. The trend shows a gradual increase in emissions, particularly in Scope 1, which may necessitate further scrutiny and action. For the year 2022, Orient Cement's emissions were approximately 3,243,783,000 kg CO2e (Scope 1), 27,583,000 kg CO2e (Scope 2), and 46,508,000 kg CO2e (Scope 3). The company has disclosed emissions data for Scopes 1, 2, and 3, indicating a comprehensive approach to tracking its carbon footprint. Despite these figures, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges documented, which suggests that Orient Cement may need to enhance its climate commitments to align with industry standards and expectations. The absence of defined reduction initiatives could impact its long-term sustainability strategy and reputation in the cement industry, which is increasingly focused on reducing carbon emissions.
