In 2020, Hyflux Ltd reported total carbon emissions of approximately 2,316,150,000 kg CO2e. This figure includes about 2,158,488,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions, which are direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, and approximately 157,653,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions, representing indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity. Additionally, Scope 3 emissions were reported at about 157,670,210 kg CO2e. The emissions data for previous years shows a trend in Hyflux's carbon footprint. In 2019, total emissions were approximately 2,173,349,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 3 emissions at about 168,162,000 kg CO2e. In 2018, total emissions were around 786,883,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 3 emissions at approximately 55,831,000 kg CO2e. The data indicates a significant reliance on Scope 1 emissions, which accounted for the majority of their total emissions in 2020. Despite the substantial emissions figures, Hyflux Ltd has not disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of their climate commitments. There are no reported Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets or documented climate pledges. The absence of these commitments suggests that while Hyflux is aware of its emissions profile, it may not yet have formalised strategies for significant reductions. Overall, Hyflux Ltd's emissions data reflects a considerable environmental impact, particularly in Scope 1 emissions, and highlights the need for clearer climate action commitments moving forward.
