Cipla undertook a LEAP-based biodiversity risk assessment of 37 India manufacturing units aligned with TNFD framework, IUCN RET, IFC PS 6 and Wildlife Protection Act 2022. Findings: 81% low/very low risk, 14% medium, 5% (2 units) high risk (within 10 km of National Park). Developed Biodiversity Policy aligned with UN CBD Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.
sustainability_report p.42
Targets water neutrality for India manufacturing operations by December 2025; 84% of wastewater recycled in-house in FY2023-24 and 54% of global manufacturing units have ZLD operational plants.
sustainability_report p.34
Cipla is investing in development of low GWP propellant inhalers to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 3 (use phase) propellant emissions, which have been identified as the largest contributor to Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions.
sustainability_report p.44
Cipla has committed to absolute carbon neutrality for Scope 1 (energy based) and Scope 2 emissions for India manufacturing operations by December 2025. Baseline year 2019, baseline emissions 263,266 tCO2e. As of 31 March 2024, achieved 28% reduction vs baseline. Also targets water neutrality, zero waste to landfill, and 50% renewable electricity for India manufacturing by Dec 2025.
sustainability_report p.42
Increased reporting boundary to include 15 additional subsidiaries vs FY2022-23, accounting for ~6.4% of Scope 1 & 2 emissions, ~4.4% of energy consumption, ~4% of water withdrawal. Also includes Indian warehouse data for first time.
sustainability_report p.31
As of 31 March 2024, two Goa manufacturing units certified as Zero Waste to Landfill by external accreditation agency. Plans to cascade certification to all Indian manufacturing locations in FY2024-25.
sustainability_report p.31
Collected plastic waste equal to 100% of pre/post-consumer plastic generated (21,857 MT); 16,250 MT recycled, 3,900 MT co-processed, 1,708 MT to waste-to-energy. Launched inhaler recycling program in South Africa.
sustainability_report p.46
Cipla pursues a two-pronged decarbonisation approach: energy efficiency plus increased renewables. As of 31 March 2024, 55 MWp captive solar open access, 2.7 MVA captive wind open access, and 8.4 MWp solar rooftop installed across India sites. In FY2023-24, 29% of global energy was renewable (vs 27% in FY22-23); 33.6% of India manufacturing energy was renewable. Biomass accounts for 11% of total energy. Target 50% renewable electricity for India manufacturing by December 2025.
sustainability_report p.30
Energy savings of ~4,127 MWh achieved in FY2023-24 through DG-Grid Synchronisation, BacComber System, AHU optimisation, EC blowers and chiller optimisation. Capital investment of INR 7.8 crores in energy conservation equipment. 31 manufacturing units have undergone energy audits; target across 10 sites was 4,443 MWh savings.
sustainability_report p.30
Propellants identified as the single largest contributor to Cipla's Scope 1 and Scope 3 emissions. The firm is investing in low-GWP propellant inhaler development as part of its respiratory portfolio to reduce both manufacturing and use-phase emissions; Scope 3 Cat 11 (Use of Sold Products) at ~2.48 MtCO2e dominates the value-chain footprint.
sustainability_report p.44
Scope 3 transportation emissions rose from 67,377 to 110,882 tCO2e in FY23-24. Cipla is incorporating green transportation strategies into supply chain decision-making via training (Institute of Supply Chain Management workshops covering all 15 Scope 3 categories, SBTi and decarbonisation strategies).
sustainability_report p.24
Cipla does not disclose any DAC, BECCS, biochar or durable removal volumes. Its carbon-neutrality pathway for India manufacturing by Dec 2025 is built on absolute reductions via renewable energy and energy efficiency, not removal credits. In line with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, the firm commits to nature-based solutions including afforestation efforts to address biodiversity dependencies, but no quantified removal target is provided.
sustainability_report p.43
India manufacturing reached 33.6% renewable energy in FY2023-24; global mix 29%. Sourcing via captive solar (55 MWp open access), wind (2.7 MVA), rooftop solar (8.4 MWp) and long-term REC purchase contracts. Target 50% renewable electricity for India manufacturing by Dec 2025.
sustainability_report p.30
Cipla identified key suppliers crucial for decarbonising Scope 3 Category 1 (Purchased Goods and Services, ~1.8 MtCO2e). Year-by-year plan developed to support strategic suppliers via ESG capability programs, training on sustainable procurement and green energy transition. 205 critical vendors assessed in FY23-24 (incl. 61 via EcoVadis); 30 vendors via on-site assessments; PSCI audit-sharing covered 37 vendor audits (~INR 500 cr spend).
