  Fighting climate change

  We recognize the urgent need to arrest climate change and are actively working toward reducing our greenhouse gas emissions. Our objective for Scope 1 and 2 emission reduction is to attain net zero GHGs by the end of FY40. We are also currently observing scope 3 emission levels for categories 6 (business travel) and 7 (employee commuting) as part of our monitoring efforts. Progress on GHG emissions: For the FY 2022-23, the Scope (1+2) emissions are 4,057.10 (tCO2e) which has reduced by 4% in comparison to 4,219.77 (tCO2e) in FY 2021-22. In total, for FY 2022-23, there has been a 49.3% reduction compared to the base year FY19. We also have planned to reduce 11% in FY24 as compared to FY23 and 40% reduction in FY25 compared to FY23. For the scope 3 emissions, as businesses have moved to a hybrid model, business travel has increased which resulted in a slight increase of scope 3 emissions in comparison to last year. However, in comparison to the base year 2019, we have reduced the scope 3 emission significantly from 4,288.39 to 1,633.61 in FY 2022-23. This year we are planning commitment to SBTi and will be working towards the addition of other applicable scope 3 parameters. Green building certifications: As a key component of our initial goals, we aimed for the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) certification for our newly leased facilities in Bengaluru in 2018, in Pune in 2020, and in Bengaluru Cessna in 2021. We earned the IGBC Platinum Rating Certificate for Green Interiors as well – a testament to our commitment to becoming a sustainable and eco-friendly enterprise.
