RBI has set several reduction targets. Through its commitment to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), RBI aims for a 25% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, using 2020 as a base year. A longer-term target includes a 40% reduction by 2040. Additionally, RBI has committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. In 2024, a target was set for a 42% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions from own operations by 2030, compared to a 2024 base year.
