Bukit Asam has disclosed emissions across all three scopes, indicating a comprehensive approach to tracking its carbon footprint. However, there are currently no specific reduction targets or climate pledges outlined in their initiatives. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the company is aware of its emissions, it may not yet have formalised commitments to reduce them in line with industry standards or climate frameworks. Overall, Bukit Asam's emissions data reflects the challenges faced by the coal industry in managing carbon outputs, particularly as global pressures for sustainability and climate action continue to grow.
