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, which influences its climate commitments and emissions reporting. As part of its corporate family, Sterling Biotech inherits climate initiatives and targets from Zydus Lifesciences Limited. However, there are no documented reduction targets or significant climate pledges reported for Sterling Biotech at this time. The absence of specific emissions data and reduction initiatives suggests that the company may still be in the early stages of formalising its climate strategy. In the context of the industry, it is essential for companies like Sterling Biotech to establish clear carbon reduction targets and transparent reporting practices to align with global climate goals. As the landscape of corporate sustainability evolves, the pressure to disclose emissions data and commit to science-based targets will likely increase.
