This figure includes 149,290 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and 2,211 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, representing indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity. Additionally, the company reported significant Scope 3 emissions of about 385,000 kg CO2e, which encompass all other indirect emissions that occur in the value chain. Currently, Boustead Plantations Berhad has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor do they participate in recognised climate pledges such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of documented reduction strategies indicates a potential area for future commitment to climate action. As a company headquartered in Malaysia, Boustead Plantations Berhad operates within an industry context that increasingly prioritises sustainability and carbon footprint reduction. The lack of cascaded emissions data from a parent or related organisation further highlights the need for the company to develop its own climate commitments and reduction strategies.
