In 2024, HEG Limited reported total carbon emissions of approximately 845,251,000 kg CO2e, comprising 178,393,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 306,219,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 360,639,000 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This data reflects a comprehensive assessment of their emissions across all relevant scopes. In the previous year, 2023, HEG Limited's emissions were slightly lower, totalling about 717,395,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 90,300,970 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions at 266,838,540 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions at 360,255,000 kg CO2e. This indicates a significant increase in emissions in 2024 compared to 2023. HEG Limited has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. The company has not inherited emissions data from any parent organisation, and all reported figures are derived directly from HEG Limited's own assessments. The company’s emissions intensity metrics indicate a Scope 1 and Scope 2 emission intensity of about 4.6 kg CO2e per unit of physical output in 2024, which is a critical measure for understanding their operational efficiency in relation to carbon emissions. Overall, while HEG Limited has made strides in reporting its emissions, the absence of defined reduction targets suggests an area for potential improvement in their climate strategy.
