We are taking steps towards curbing carbon emissions and shifting to a more sustainable future. We are pursuing our ambition of achieving 100% renewable energy [RE 100] by doubling on-site solar potential across our manufacturing facilities.
We have started work on Regenerative Agriculture with a special focus on rice, in line with our efforts to reduce our value chain Scope 3 Carbon emissions.
Our progress as of FY 23 is as follows:
- The company has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions by 89%* upto last year and eliminated the use of coal in distilleries by leveraging renewable energy to achieve its target of net-zero carbon emissions (Scope 1 & 2) across direct operations by 2030.
- In addition, Diageo India increased in-house solar energy capacity from 1.3 MW to 2.7 MW and achieved 98.5%* renewable energy use status in operations, enabling the company to accomplish 100% renewable energy status ahead of its 2030 target.
- The company launched an afforestation drive to plant 1,00,000 trees to offset residual greenhouse gas emissions.
We are supporting raw material and packaging material suppliers to switch to renewable and low carbon fuel alternatives to reduce scope 3 emissions and are focusing on lowering supply chain emissions by 50% ahead of our 2030 target.
