This figure includes 221,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, 32,096,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, and 15,869,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Over the past five years, HLFG's emissions have shown a general upward trend, with total emissions increasing from about 34,065,000 kg CO2e in 2019 to the current figure. The company has disclosed emissions across all three scopes, indicating a comprehensive approach to carbon accounting. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate commitments. This lack of defined reduction strategies suggests that while HLFG is tracking its emissions, it may need to establish clearer goals to align with industry standards for climate action. As a financial institution headquartered in Malaysia, HLFG's emissions profile reflects its operational footprint and the broader context of the financial sector's impact on climate change. The absence of significant reduction targets highlights an opportunity for HLFG to enhance its sustainability efforts and contribute more effectively to global climate goals.
