Vedanta's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, Vedanta reported total carbon emissions of approximately 103,545,483,000 kg CO2e, comprising 8,182,542,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 39,320 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. The company also disclosed significant Scope 3 emissions, amounting to approximately 38,187,551,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a comprehensive approach to tracking emissions across all scopes, although specific reduction targets or initiatives were not detailed in the available data. In the preceding years, Vedanta's emissions have shown variability, with total emissions recorded at approximately 62,830,000,000 kg CO2e in 2022 and 59,340,000,000 kg CO2e in 2020. The company has not established specific reduction targets or climate pledges, which may limit its ability to demonstrate a proactive stance in addressing climate change. Vedanta's emissions intensity metrics indicate a focus on improving efficiency, with GHG intensity reported for aluminium production at approximately 0.000009 kg CO2e per USD million in 2021. However, without formal reduction commitments, the effectiveness of these measures remains uncertain. Overall, while Vedanta has made strides in emissions tracking, the absence of defined reduction targets may hinder its long-term climate strategy and commitment to sustainability.
