Green House Gas Emissions

We were one of the six companies in India recognised as a ‘Climate Change Rising Star’ on the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) India 2019 A-list. We retained the A- rating in 2020, for the second consecutive year in a row. The Climate Disclosure Leadership Index was developed by the CDP, a global sustainability organisation that reports on behalf of 525 investors representing $100 trillion in assets. Tata Consumer, along with 6,900 companies globally, disclose environmental data through CDP. CDP scores are accessible on Bloomberg terminals and Google Finance sites. We are also listed on India’s S&P BSE Carbonex — a first-of-its-kind index that accounts for organisational commitment to climate change mitigation, according to Asia Index Private Limited.

We engage with the reputed British Standards Institution (BSI) for the measurement and monitoring of Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG) as per ISO 14064. The scope of the assessment extends to Tata Consumer and our subsidiary, Tata Coffee in over 70 different sites in Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, and Australia.
