Science-aligned, long-term transformation strategy for deep decarbonization
Net zero refers to the state where an organization reduces greenhouse gas emissions to the lowest feasible level across its value chain and neutralizes only residual emissions using verified carbon removals.
Unlike carbon neutrality, net zero requires a science-aligned, long-term transformation strategy covering Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions, and prioritizes deep decarbonization over offsetting.
Comprehensive measurement of emissions across operations, assets, suppliers, and downstream activities.
Emission reduction targets aligned with climate science and sector-specific decarbonization pathways.
A prioritized action plan covering energy efficiency, process optimization, renewable energy adoption, low-carbon materials, and logistics transformation.
Use of high-quality carbon removals and limited offsets for emissions that are technically or economically infeasible to eliminate in the near term.
Ongoing tracking, disclosure, and third-party assurance to maintain credibility, regulatory readiness, and stakeholder confidence.
Demonstrates long-term and science-based climate leadership
Aligns businesses with global climate goals and evolving ESG expectations
Enhances investor confidence and access to sustainable finance
Strengthens organizational resilience against climate, regulatory, and transition risks
India has committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2070, with intermediate milestones focusing on:
Rapid expansion of renewable energy capacity
Energy efficiency improvements across industry and buildings
Electrification of transport and adoption of alternative fuels
Promotion of low-carbon technologies and domestic carbon markets
For Indian organizations, net zero strategies must balance growth, development priorities, and climate responsibility, making phased decarbonization pathways especially critical.
