First Gen has set several climate commitments. Cascaded from its parent company, First Gen Corporation, the company is aiming for net-zero emissions for Scope 1 and Scope 2, with emissions expected to peak by 2025. Additionally, the company has an absolute target to reduce its Scope 1 emissions by 30% from a 2020 baseline by 2030. A similar absolute target is in place for Scope 2 emissions, aiming for a 30% reduction from a 2020 baseline by 2030. The company's 2018 sustainability report highlighted an achievement of a 3% decrease in average CO2 emissions intensity for Scope 1 and Scope 2, falling from 0.38 tonnes CO2/MWh in 2017 to 0.37 tonnes CO2/MWh in 2018. Through the Philippines' Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), the country commits to conditionally reducing its GHG emissions by 75% by 2030, contingent upon external support.
