The company has shown a significant increase in emissions compared to previous years, with 2022 emissions at about 86,080,000 kg CO2e, which included 41,195,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 44,885,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2. In 2024, Multichoice's emissions are projected to be around 67,675,000 kg CO2e, with both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions reported at this level, indicating a potential stabilisation or reduction in emissions. However, there are no specific reduction targets or initiatives disclosed in their recent reports, which suggests a need for clearer commitments towards carbon neutrality or emissions reduction strategies. Overall, Multichoice's emissions data highlights the company's substantial carbon footprint, particularly in Scope 1 and Scope 2 categories, while the absence of defined reduction targets raises questions about their long-term climate commitments.
