DRB-HICOM's reported carbon emissions

In 2022, DRB-HICOM reported total carbon emissions of approximately 274,437,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions accounting for about 212,509,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 61,928,000 kg CO2e. This data is cascaded from its parent company, DRB-HICOM Berhad, reflecting the organisation's commitment to transparency in its climate impact. Comparatively, in 2020, the company recorded total emissions of about 271,631,000 kg CO2e across all scopes, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 75,329,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at about 196,302,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions reaching approximately 271,631,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a significant shift in emissions profile over the years, particularly in Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Despite these figures, DRB-HICOM has not set specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments, nor has it disclosed any Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) targets. The absence of defined reduction strategies suggests a need for further development in their climate action plans. Overall, DRB-HICOM's emissions data highlights the importance of ongoing monitoring and the potential for future commitments to reduce carbon footprints in alignment with global climate goals.
