Vedanta Aluminium has set a goal of attaining a 24% drop in GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emissions intensity by FY25, the firm said in its Sustainable Development Report (SDR) for FY21. The baseline for emission decrease is 2012.

Vedanta Aluminium's Sustainable Development Report titled 'Nature, Nurture, Future', encapsulates the business' performance across essential sustainability factors, like water management, energy and climate change management, air quality and emissions control, social impact and governance, biodiversity management, health and safety, among others for the FY21 performance period.
