Mumbai, 6 June 2022 (GNI): Mahindra Logistics Ltd. (MLL), one of India’s largest Integrated
Logistics service providers, announced that Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) has
validated its target to reduce carbon emissions and the company remains on course to meet
its long-term sustainability goals. This achievement of Carbon Reduction Targets has been set in line with the level of reduction needed to limit global warming to 1.5°C, as per the
Paris Agreement of Climate change. This is an important milestone towards the company’s
ambitious aim of being carbon neutral by 2040. Mahindra Logistics is incidentally the few
companies in the logistics sector, to get this validation from SBTi and is working towards
achieving its sustainable goal by 2040.
MLL had signed an agreement with SBTi last year and managed to accomplish the set
standards targeted in the first year. By joining the initiative in 2021, MLL signalled its
intention to align its targets to the most ambitious aim of the Paris Agreement, to limit
global temperature rise to 1.5°C above preindustrial levels and reach net-zero by 2050 for the best chance of avoiding the worst impacts of climate change.

carbon neutrality, which can be aligned with clear programs & initiatives. This milestone is a
validation of our commitment and plan to become a carbon neutral by 2040.”

neutrality, circularity and resource conservation. As part of the same, a robust electric ecosystem is developed for its supply chain and enterprise mobility businesses. The
