The GHG emission intensity for Scope 1 and 2 was approximately 0.00000064 tonnes CO2e per million SGD in revenue. This figure reflects the company's commitment to monitoring and managing its carbon footprint, although specific total emissions figures for the year were not disclosed. Over the past few years, Meta has shown a trend in its GHG emission intensity, with values of about 0.000225 tonnes CO2e in 2022, 0.0000942 tonnes CO2e in 2021, 0.0001128 tonnes CO2e in 2020, and 0.0000919 tonnes CO2e in 2019.
