In 2024, Maruti Suzuki reported total carbon emissions of approximately 212,545,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1, 202,067,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and 740,357,000 kg CO2e for Scope 3 emissions. This indicates a significant reliance on upstream activities, particularly in the use of sold products, which accounted for about 33,266,789,000 kg CO2e. In 2023, the company’s emissions were slightly higher, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 223,289,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at 206,626,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching about 911,761,000 kg CO2e. This trend highlights the challenges Maruti Suzuki faces in managing its carbon footprint, especially in Scope 3 emissions, which encompass the majority of its total emissions. Maruti Suzuki has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. However, the company continues to monitor and report its emissions across all relevant scopes, demonstrating a commitment to transparency in its climate impact. The emissions intensity metrics indicate a focus on improving efficiency, with Scope 1 and 2 emissions intensity reported at approximately 360.0 kg CO2e per tonne of output in 2023. Overall, while Maruti Suzuki has made strides in emissions reporting, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests an opportunity for the company to enhance its climate commitments and align with industry standards for sustainability.
