India's PDS Limited secures SBTi approval for FY50 net-zero goal

PDS Limited, a leading global fashion supply chain solutions company, today announced that the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has officially validated its net-zero emissions reduction targets for FY 2050. This approval confirms that PDS’s climate commitments align with the latest science-based pathways required to limit global warming in accordance with the Paris Agreement.

The approval underscores PDS’s long-term commitment to embedding sustainability across its global value chain and accelerating climate action in partnership with customers, suppliers, and wider industry stakeholders. By leveraging data-driven insights and robust methodologies, PDS is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions and building a low carbon, resilient supply chain. 

PDS has committed to the following goals:

• Reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42.0% by FY2030, 
• Reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 25% by FY2030.
• Achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by FY2050

Talking about this achievement, Sanjay Jain, Group CEO said, “Securing SBTi approval is a significant milestone that reinforces our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint through structured, data-driven action across our value chain. We remain focused on achieving net-zero by FY2050 and driving meaningful, science-backed climate impact across our operations and the broader ecosystem.” 

Paul Wright, Group ESG Director, added, “Our targets are grounded in data, global best practices, and a clear roadmap to reduce emissions meaningfully across Scopes 1, 2, and 3. Achieving these goals requires deep collaboration with our partners and sustained investment in low-carbon solutions. Through our measured efforts, we are dedicated to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across our value chain by FY2050.”

PDS systematically tracks and monitors its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions across all owned manufacturing facilities and major office locations. The Company has undertaken a series of initiatives to reduce emissions and lower its overall carbon footprint, including the adoption of solar energy systems, mangrove restoration projects, increased use of recycled fabrics, and other sustainability-focused interventions.

PDS’s approved near-term and long-term targets will be published on the SBTi website as per the initiative’s guidelines.
