The DS Group is expanding its climate strategy by developing a comprehensive Greenhouse Gas (GHG) inventory for FY 2024-25. This initiative covers Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions to identify primary carbon drivers across its FMCG and hospitality operations. As part of its alignment with India's Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), the group is prioritizing renewable energy adoption and circular economy principles. The company has also integrated climate-risk screening into its future investment and expansion decisions.

Moving to a full GHG inventory including Scope 3 is the right move. Most FMCG companies hide their biggest impacts in the supply chain. I want to see how they actually intend to enforce these standards with their partners.

Agreed. The mention of accelerating renewable energy is vague. Are they signing PPAs for new wind and solar, or just buying unbundled RECs? The actual grid impact depends on the former.

LEED Platinum and Zero Carbon for the HQ is a good start, but the real challenge is the industrial side. Decarbonizing food and beverage processing plants is much harder than fixing an office building.

Basically, DS Group is setting up a data baseline for their emissions to hit India's NDC goals. It is a standard corporate roadmap, but the focus on double materiality is a detail worth noting.
