Moreover, the company continues to accelerate climate action in close collaboration with customers, suppliers, and industry partners. Through data-driven decision-making, PDS aims to build a low-carbon and resilient supply chain.
Clear and Measurable Emissions Reduction Goals
Under its approved targets, PDS will reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 42 percent by FY2030. In addition, the company plans to cut absolute Scope 3 emissions by 25 percent within the same period. Ultimately, PDS commits to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by FY2050.
Leadership Perspective on the Milestone
Commenting on the validation, Sanjay Jain, Group CEO, said the SBTi approval marks a significant step in the company’s climate journey. He added that PDS will continue to focus on structured, data-led action to reduce its carbon footprint and deliver measurable impact.

Ongoing Sustainability Initiatives
Currently, PDS actively tracks Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions across all owned manufacturing facilities and key office locations. Meanwhile, the company has implemented several initiatives to lower its environmental impact. These include solar energy adoption, mangrove restoration projects, and increased use of recycled fabrics.
Next Steps
Going forward, PDS will publish its approved near-term and long-term targets on the SBTi website, in line with the initiative’s guidelines. Through these efforts, the company continues to position sustainability as a core driver of long-term value and responsible growth.
