MUMBAI - Textile manufacturer Birla Cellulose says it has become the first viscose manufacturer to declare carbon neutrality in Scope 1 and Scope 2 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions.
It comes after the company, part of the Aditya Birla Group, evaluated its carbon emissions across its entire global operations. The GHG evaluation study was validated and assured by Ernst and Young, India.
Birla Cellulose says the achievement is the result of years of work in creating energy-efficient processes, using renewable energy and ensuring net positive growth of the forest cover it directly manages.
