In 2025, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of UPL amounted to 838,269 metric tons of CO2 equivalent. This figure includes both direct emissions from owned or controlled sources (Scope 1) and indirect emissions from purchased energy (Scope 2).a
Compared to 2024, the total operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of UPL decreased by 0.89%, showing that the company has made progress in taking action to reduce the climate impact of its operations.ab
In 2025, the total Scope 1 emissions of UPL were 670,011 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Since 2022, UPL's Scope 1 emissions have decreased by 12.8%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 1 emissions over time.ad
Compared to the previous year (2024), UPL's Scope 1 emissions decreased by 1.25%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower direct emissions from assets it owns or controls.ab
In 2025, UPL reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 168,258 tCO₂e without specifying the calculation method.a
Since 2022, UPL's Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have decreased by 32.77%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 2 emissions over time.ad
Compared to the previous year (2024), UPL's Scope 2 emissions (Unspecified Calculation Method) have remained relatively stable, indicating that UPL's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its energy consumption footprint.ab
In 2025, UPL reported its Scope 2 emissions using an unspecified methodology.a
In 2025, UPL reported 3,528,092 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2025 disclosure of UPL includes a breakdown across 13 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, matching the level of disclosure in 2024, demonstrating consistent Scope 3 emissions reporting coverage year over year.a
In 2025, UPL reported total Scope 3 emissions of 3,528,092 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 98.74% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 1.26% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2022, UPL's Scope 3 emissionshave remained relatively stable, indicating that UPL's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.ad
Compared to the previous year (2024), UPL's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that UPL's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.ab
In 2025, UPL reported emissions for 13 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This reflects a high level of granularity and transparency in the company's emissions reporting.
In 2025, the largest contributors to UPL's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, UPL reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 670,011 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 5,458 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 122.75 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, UPL reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 122.75 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 161.49, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, UPL ranked 12 out of 24 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
UPL is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2025, UPL reported a total carbon footprint of 4,366,361 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 0.68% decrease compared to 2024, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.ab
The largest contributor to UPL's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 80.8% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 1 emissions at 15.34%.a
