In 2021, Pigeon Corporation's emissions were significantly higher, with Scope 1 at 2,855,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 20,655,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching a substantial 265,489,000 kg CO2e. The Scope 3 emissions included various categories such as purchased goods and services, which accounted for 196,107,000 kg CO2e. Despite these figures, Pigeon Corporation has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor have they reported any commitments through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. The absence of defined reduction strategies indicates a need for enhanced climate action within the organisation. Overall, Pigeon Corporation's emissions data reflects ongoing challenges in managing carbon outputs, particularly in Scope 2 and Scope 3 categories, which are critical for comprehensive climate impact reduction.
