SBTi has endorsed Mahindra Susten, s commitment to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 51.8% by FY30, from a FY21 base year.

The corporate climate action organisation defines and promotes best practice in science-based target setting and independently assesses companies’ targets.
