Batu Kawan Bhd's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Batu Kawan Bhd reported total carbon emissions of approximately 213,460,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, 54,364,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, and 9,323,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3, resulting in a combined total of about 277,147,000 kg CO2e. This marks a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years, with 2022 figures showing approximately 211,158,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 and 57,304,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1. The company has disclosed emissions data for Scope 1 and Scope 2 for the years 2020 to 2023, but no specific reduction targets or climate pledges have been identified in their current initiatives. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while Batu Kawan Bhd is actively monitoring its emissions, it may not yet have formalised commitments to reduce its carbon footprint in line with industry standards. Batu Kawan Bhd's emissions intensity metrics indicate a focus on improving efficiency, with GHG intensity for plantation operations reported at approximately 454,540 kg CO2e per unit of revenue in 2023. The company operates within the oil seeds and oleochemical sectors, which are known for their significant environmental impacts, highlighting the importance of robust climate strategies in this industry context.
