Diageo India is among the country’s leading beverage alcohol companies with an outstanding collection of premium brands.
This year, we reduced Green House Gas (GHG) emissions by 2.3% compared to 2021 and reduced 87% GHG Emissions against 2020 and this was accomplished by phasing out usage of coal across distillery operations. We are close to achieving our 2026 goal of Net Zero Carbon status by reducing emissions across Scope 1 (emissions resulting from fossil fuel use in operations) and Scope 2 (emissions associated with electricity purchased).
As of FY 22, we have reduced GHG emissions to less than 6,000 MT CO2e from about 1,28,000 MT CO2e in 2020 (baseline year). We are also in the process of planting 80,000 trees to neutralise residual emissions.
