In 2023, Sarvodaya Development Finance PLC reported emissions related to the manufacture of iron and steel, amounting to approximately 1,331 kg CO2e. However, the company has not disclosed specific data for Scope 1, Scope 2, or Scope 3 emissions, indicating a lack of comprehensive emissions reporting. Currently, Sarvodaya Development Finance PLC does not have any publicly stated reduction targets or commitments under initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented climate pledges suggests that the organisation is still in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. As a current subsidiary, Sarvodaya Development Finance PLC's emissions data is cascaded from its own reporting, with no inherited data from a parent company. The organisation's commitment to environmental sustainability is outlined in its policy documents, although specific reduction initiatives or targets have not been established. Overall, while Sarvodaya Development Finance PLC has reported some emissions data, it lacks detailed disclosures and formal climate commitments, highlighting an opportunity for improvement in its environmental strategy.
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.
Sarvodaya Development Finance PLC is not participating in any of the initiatives that we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
