Sterling Biotech's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Zydus Lifesciences Limited

Sterling Biotech, headquartered in India, currently does not have specific carbon emissions data available for the most recent year. The company is a current subsidiary of Zydus Lifesciences Limited, from which it inherits emissions data and climate commitments. As of now, there are no documented reduction targets or climate pledges directly associated with Sterling Biotech. The emissions data and climate initiatives are cascaded from Zydus Lifesciences Limited, which is at a cascade level of 2 in the corporate family relationship. This means that any climate commitments or emissions performance metrics would be reflective of Zydus Lifesciences' broader sustainability strategies rather than specific actions taken by Sterling Biotech itself. In the absence of specific emissions figures or reduction targets, it is important to note that the company is part of an industry increasingly focused on sustainability and reducing carbon footprints. As such, Sterling Biotech may align with the climate initiatives and targets set forth by its parent company, Zydus Lifesciences, which may include participation in frameworks like the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). However, without specific data or commitments from Sterling Biotech, a detailed assessment of its carbon emissions and climate commitments remains unavailable.
