Universal Cables Limited's reported carbon emissions

In 2024, Universal Cables Limited reported total carbon emissions of approximately 18,187,000 kg CO2e, comprising about 2,025,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 16,187,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This reflects a slight increase in emissions compared to 2023, where the company recorded approximately 15,640,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at about 1,508,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at about 14,640,000 kg CO2e. In 2022, the emissions were significantly lower, with total emissions of about 19,052,000 kg CO2e, including approximately 243,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and about 18,807,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. Despite these figures, Universal Cables Limited has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The company has not disclosed any Scope 3 emissions data, which typically includes indirect emissions from the supply chain and product use. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organization, indicating that Universal Cables Limited is independently reporting its carbon footprint. The company continues to monitor its emissions intensity, which is reported as approximately 0.000901 kg CO2e per crore rupee of turnover for 2024, down from about 0.000733 kg CO2e per crore rupee in 2023. Overall, while Universal Cables Limited has made strides in tracking its emissions, further commitments and reduction strategies would enhance its climate action profile.
