Dharampal Satyapal Group outlined an expanded climate action strategy during the past week, aligning its operations with India’s updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). The company is developing a comprehensive greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory for FY2024–25, covering Scope 1, Scope 2 and relevant Scope 3 emissions across its value chain. The initiative focuses on decarbonisation, resource efficiency and sustainable sourcing, supported by renewable energy adoption and circular economy practices. The strategy also introduces climate-risk evaluation for future investments. With operations spanning multiple sectors, the move reflects increasing integration of sustainability metrics into corporate decision-making and governance frameworks within India’s industrial ecosystem.
Dharampal Satyapal Group announced an expansion of its portfolio-wide climate action strategy during the past week, setting out a framework to integrate sustainability considerations into core business decisions across its operations. The initiative, aligned with India’s updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), focuses on decarbonisation, efficient resource utilisation, and responsible growth practices. Advertisement
As part of this approach, the company is preparing a comprehensive greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory for FY2024–25, covering direct emissions (Scope 1), indirect emissions from energy consumption (Scope 2), and key supply chain emissions (Scope 3). The exercise is intended to provide a detailed assessment of emission sources across operations, enabling targeted interventions based on data-driven analysis.
The emissions audit spans manufacturing activities, purchased energy, and critical upstream and downstream supply chain components. By identifying major emission drivers, the company aims to move from broad sustainability commitments to measurable actions embedded within operational and governance structures. This framework is expected to support more precise carbon management while aligning future business decisions with environmental considerations.
Vice Chairman Rajiv Kumar indicated that the strategy places decarbonisation and resource efficiency at the centre of business operations. He stated that the company is accelerating its transition towards renewable energy sources to reduce carbon intensity, while also adopting circular economy principles to optimise the use of water and materials. He added that the group is engaging with supply chain partners to strengthen sustainable sourcing practices and address indirect environmental impacts.
The strategy also incorporates a climate-risk assessment framework for all future investments, ensuring that expansion plans are evaluated against environmental criteria. This approach reflects a shift towards integrating sustainability metrics within capital allocation and long-term planning processes.
The company highlighted that its governance framework currently reports no regulatory non-compliance, stakeholder complaints, product recalls related to quality, or data breaches, alongside maintaining full pay parity. It also noted ongoing efforts to increase renewable energy adoption and improve resource efficiency across its operations.
Within its broader environmental initiatives, the company reported a water positivity index of 1.8 across its business units in multiple locations in India. Its headquarters has also received Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum and Zero Carbon certifications from the U.S. Green Building Council.
The development reflects a wider trend among Indian corporates to formalise sustainability strategies, incorporating emissions tracking, renewable energy integration, and responsible sourcing into long-term operational frameworks.
