Furthermore, there are currently no specified reduction targets or climate pledges outlined by the company, indicating a potential area for future commitment in line with industry standards for climate action. The company has been actively involved in sustainability initiatives, but specific reduction targets or commitments to frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) have not been reported. As the textile industry increasingly focuses on reducing carbon footprints, Birla Cellulose's future strategies may need to align with broader climate goals to enhance its sustainability profile.
