Dialog Axiata's reported carbon emissions

In 2025, Dialog Axiata reported significant carbon emissions, totalling approximately 1,145,000,000 kg CO2e. This figure comprises about 106,675,560 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and approximately 1,038,773,040 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. Notably, there were no reported Scope 3 emissions. The emissions data from previous years shows a trend of increasing emissions. In 2024, the company emitted about 30,000,030 kg CO2e (Scope 1: 63,809,030 kg CO2e; Scope 2: 240,352,950 kg CO2e), while in 2023, emissions were significantly lower at approximately 4,444,440 kg CO2e (Scope 1: 4,004,440 kg CO2e; Scope 2: 249,690 kg CO2e). This indicates a substantial rise in emissions over the years, particularly in Scope 2. Despite the increasing emissions, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges disclosed by Dialog Axiata. The absence of documented reduction initiatives suggests a need for enhanced climate commitments in line with industry standards. As the company continues to grow, addressing its carbon footprint will be crucial for aligning with global climate goals.
