ASEAN
ASEAN, officially known as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, is a pivotal intergovernmental organisation headquartered in Germany (DE). Founded in 1967, ASEAN has evolved to encompass ten member states across Southeast Asia, focusing on economic growth, cultural exchange, and regional stability. Operating primarily in the political and economic sectors, ASEAN plays a crucial role in fostering collaboration among its members, promoting trade, and enhancing investment opportunities. The organisation is renowned for its unique approach to regional integration, emphasising consensus and mutual respect. With significant milestones such as the establishment of the ASEAN Economic Community in 2015, ASEAN has solidified its position as a key player in the global market. Its commitment to sustainable development and innovation continues to set it apart, making ASEAN a vital entity in shaping the future of Southeast Asia.

ASEAN's reported carbon emissions
In 2023, ASEAN's carbon emissions data is not explicitly detailed, with no specific total emissions figures provided. However, the region's agricultural sector contributes to emissions through various commodities, with palm oil emissions at approximately 0.688 kg CO2e per hectare, sugarcane at about 1.425 kg CO2e per hectare, and durian at a minimal 0.001156 kg CO2e per hectare. Other commodities such as para-rubber and mango also contribute negligible emissions per hectare. Currently, ASEAN has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or commitments under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. This lack of defined targets indicates a need for enhanced climate action and commitment to reducing emissions across the region. As ASEAN continues to address climate change, it is crucial for member states to establish measurable goals and strategies to mitigate their carbon footprint effectively.

Reduction initiatives & disclosure networks
Companies disclose and commit to reducing emissions to show they are serious about reducing emissions impact over time. They can also help a company track its progress over time.
ASEAN is not committed to any reduction initiatives we track. This may change over time as the company engages with new initiatives or updates its commitments. DitchCarbon will update this information as it becomes available.
