Spandana Sphoorty Financial Limited's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Spandana Sphoorty Financial Limited reported total carbon emissions of approximately 3,318,835 kg CO2e, comprising 178,165 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 3,140,670 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions.

Despite these figures, Spandana Sphoorty has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing their carbon footprint. The absence of a climate pledge or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) commitments indicates a potential area for improvement in their climate strategy. The company’s emissions intensity metrics reveal that in 2024, the total Scope 1 and Scope 2 emission intensity was approximately 0.000125 kg CO2e per rupee of turnover, while in 2023, it was about 0.00015 kg CO2e per rupee. This suggests a slight improvement in emissions efficiency relative to revenue. Overall, while Spandana Sphoorty is actively monitoring its emissions, the lack of formal reduction targets highlights an opportunity for enhanced climate commitments in the future.
